Gold for the King
Trainer: Charlton Baker
Last Race: July 7, 2nd
Finish: 1st by 5 3/4
Beyer: 102

New York-bred sprinter had a no-chance trip in his first start back from a layoff, but he took no prisoners in this race, going right to the front and powering away from open allowance rivals in the stretch while putting up a career-best figure of 102. Can be tough in state-bred stakes the rest of the year if he can stay on the track.
