Caracortado got his year off to a good beginning, grinding past The Usual Q. T. in the stretch to win the Sunshines Millions Turf by three quarters of a length.
Under Joe Talamo, Caracortado sat off the pace in the early going. As expected, 10-1 shot Presious Passion shot straight to the lead and opened up on the field, rattling off rapid fractions. However, as the field turned into the homestretch, he gave in quickly, letting the Usual Q. T. and Caracortado past him. Those two dueled to the finish, with the results never really in doubt. Caracortado stopped the clock in a sharp 1:46 3/5 for the nine furlongs.
Soul Candy rallied for third, although he never threatened the top two. Heavily favored Jeranimo finished fourth.
