Trainer Steve Specht expected Gig Harbor to take the lead in the $75,000 Alcatraz Stakes at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday, and he felt confident the 3-year-old son of City Zip could carry his speed 1 1/16 miles in his first try around two turns. Gig Harbor ($6.20), who went off favored in the field of eight 3-year-olds, lived up to Specht’s expectations, scoring a front-running, one-half length victory in the turf race.
