6-5 favorite Apart wore down a stubborn Colizeo in deep stretch to win the $100,000 William Donald Schaefer Memorial Stakes (gr. III) by a neck this afternoon at Pimlico.
Ridden by Garrett Gomez, the colt sat just a couple of lengths off of a very slow early pace set by Colizeo while racing three wide. He inched closer to the lead on the far turn and pounced entering the homestretch. A long stretch duel ensued, during which Colizeo proved extremely game. But Apart was equally courageous, and got his head in front just before the wire.
Icabad Crane finished third.
