Last race: April 12, 5th
Finish: 1st by 2 1/4

ONE EIGHTY
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: April 13, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 67
Missed at odds-on, but debut 3-year-old colt ran well at 6 ½ furlongs. Pressed a fast pace, kicked away, and tired. By good sprint sire Jimmy Creed, he should be long gone next out.
