Key Largo stretches out in Harry Jeffrey

After disappointing as a well-backed second choice last time out, Key Largo will try to redeem himself Saturday in the $30,000 Harry Jeffrey at Assiniboia Downs.

A 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds, the Harry Jeffrey is the local prep for the $75,000 Manitoba Derby, which will be run over 1 1/8 miles on the Monday, Aug. 2, program.

Key Largo is the only Harry Jeffrey entrant who has won going as far as one mile, although his Churchill and Gulfstream wins at that distance came at one turn.
