Comma to the Top turned in a simply dominating in the CashCall Futurity (gr. I), winning his fifth straight race in stunning fashion through pouring rain.
Under Corey Nakatina, Comma to the Top sat just off of the early pace set by High Level Jeff before taking the lead on the far turn under no urging. He drew off to an easy five length lead in the stretch before winning by an easy two lengths.
J P's Gusto sat just behind the early leaders and may a strong late run to finish a clear second. Clubhouse Ride at 20-1 rallied from far back to just nose out Gourmet Dinner for third.
The victory launches Comma to the Top into the Triple Crown Trail spotlight, as if he wasn't already. The son of Bwana Charlie was a grade III winner of turf prior to running in the CashCall Futurity and is now a grade I winner with graded earnings of over $500,000.
The final time was 1:44 3/5.
