Old-Fashioned Butt whuppin'


I know. That was too easy. But it also is very true. Old Fashioned ran the Southwest Stakes today in a visually dominating manner. To put it succinctly, he looked like a Derby winner.

Old Fashioned broke well with Silver City muling* him. Silver City forged ahead and led Old Fashioned around the course until the exact moment you'd expect a champion to make the pass. He did with authority.

Silver City hung on for second, three and a half lengths back.

The field for this race was strong. Poltergeist ran as did Professor Z. Surprising Buzzin and Dreamin' finished third with Flat Out pushing hard in fourth.



*Right on his ass.
