Broadway View made his first turf victory a rewarding one when he held off a late-charging America Alive to win the inaugural running of the Commonwealth Turf by a nose Sunday at Churchill Downs.
Ridden by John McKee, Broadway View, an 18-1 shot, charged to a short lead in midstretch of the $171,150 Commonwealth, a 1 1/16-mile turf race restricted to 3-year-olds, and barely lasted. America Alive, an 11-1 shot ridden by Eddie Martin Jr., finished another 1 1/4 lengths ahead of Capo in a field of 10.
