“I thought he ran pretty well,” trainer Linda Rice said.

Rice also runs Dear Chairman, who won a $25,000 claiming race for Rudy Rodriguez last out at odds of 20-1.

Berning Beauty, trained by Charlton Baker, has made five starts in this condition. His last win came in a March 21 allowance race at Aqueduct.

Sunday Boy finished sixth in that Sept. 20 race but may not have cared for the mud or his trip in that race.
