LOUISVILLE, Ky. - G P Fleet, a versatile 4-year-old gelding who has run equally well on the Churchill Downs dirt and turf courses, got a good trip in running another big race Sunday when upsetting the Grade 3, $174,300 at Churchill.
With Jose Martinez Jr. substituting for Eddie Martin Jr., who took another mount in the race, G P Fleet rallied from fifth in the field of 12 older horses to prevail by a half-length over Cloudy's Knight. The winner returned $26.60 after finishing 1 1/8 miles in 1:51.26 over a yielding turf.
