Roman Commander takes Real Quiet

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Roman Commander rallied along the rail in the final furlong to win Saturday's $100,000 Real Quiet Stakes at Hollywood Park, the colt's second stakes win of the fall.

Roman Commander ($8.80) ran 1 1-16 miles in 1:44.77, finishing three-quarters of a lengths in front of Unusual Suspect. Liquidity, the 8-5 favorite, finished third in the field of six 2-year-olds.

Roman Commander was always near the front, stalking Baltimore Drive and Hurry Up Austin through fractions of 24.33 and 48.27 seconds.

Owned by Kendall Mann and trained by Gary Stute, Roman Commander has won two of six starts and $150,380. He won the Barretts Juvenile Stakes at Fairplex Park in September.
