Thursday night's Red Mile action was highlighted by six late-closing events on the 10-race card starting with a $6,000 late-closing event for colt and gelding trotters, and a host of breakers paved the way for the two longest shots on the board to hit the wire together in a photo finish.
Stylish Lad, a 3-year-old Angus Hall colt, with Steve Waller at the controls, would prove to be victorious at odds of 53.80-1 for owner-trainer Buck Sprinkle. It was the colt’s first lifetime victory in his fourth career outing. John Duer steered Two Black Clouds, a 3-year-old Valley Victor gelding, to the second-place finish at odds of 25.80-1. Duer also trains the gelding for his father, Carter Duer, and William Weaver III. The two longshots lit up the toteboard like a Christmas tree, most notably keying off a 10-cent superfecta that returned over $1,450.
The fastest mile of the night came in the second race when Dan Shetler won another one of the $6,000 late-closing events aboard Im A Native Two, a 3-year-old Allamerican Native filly. Shetler used a perfectly rated mile to prepare his charge for a :27.1 final quarter and a new lifetime mark of 1:53.3. Im A Native Two is trained by Tom Brinkerhoff for owner Joe Criswell of Live racing returns to the Red Mile on Sunday evening with a first post of 6:30 p.m. Nine divisions of Kentucky Sire Stakes action for freshman trotters and pacers highlight the 17-race card.
