The maiden colt Toews on Ice, a distant third in both starts at Del Mar, crushed the $100,000 Barretts Juvenile on Sunday at Los Alamitos, drawing off to win the 6 1/2-furlong stakes race by 7 1/2 lengths in a quick 1:15.31.
Power Corrupt paid $16.50 for his 2 1/2-length win over the previously undefeated Stanz in Command in the $100,000 Jack Diamond Futurity Sunday at Hastings.
Hotly-contested bidding on a Quality Road colt led an active upper market on Sunday to kick off Book 3 of the Keeneland September yearling sale, but average and median sale prices saw moderate declines.
Imply, making her first start since winning her career debut two months ago, flashed high early speed and then barely held off a late surge by 3-5 favorite Bella Flor to win Sunday night’s $75,000 Mrs. Henry Paxson Memorial Stakes for Pennsylvania-bred 2-year-old fillies at Presque Isle Downs.
Reaffirming her fondness for the local turf courses, Old Harbor dueled Freudie Anne into defeat by the quarter pole and widened with every stride through the stretch to win Sunday’s $125,000 John Hettinger Stakes in blowout fashion.
