Trainer Brittany Russell was pleased with Maythehorsebwithu’s effort.

“It’s satisfying because we’ve always liked this horse,” Russell said. “We got the blinkers on him and it seemed to help. He’s always trained good. From day one, we thought this horse had some sort of ability. It’s just going to be a matter of how we get it out of him. I think with racing he’ll only get better.”
