Camp Victory garnered the biggest win of his career tonight at Hollywood Park when he was places first via disqualification in the $100,000 Los Angelas Stakes (gr. III).
Under Joseph Talamo, the colt sat just a few lengths off of the early lead in fifth as Cost of Freedom and Indian Firewater set a quick pace of :22 1/5 and :44 2/5. M One Rifle was sitting in third, followed by Amazombie along the rail.
Turning into the homestretch, Camp Victory was charging into contention on the far outside when Amazombie made a bid to escape from a pocket. Under Mike Smith, Amazombie swung to the outside and bumped hard with M One Rifle, who was drifting inward. Amazombie went on to win by a half-length over Camp Victory, who rallied strongly but couldn't quite catch him. However, after a steward's inquiry, Amazombie was disqualified and placed third for interfering with M One Rifle.
The final time was 1:08.87. The official order of finish was Camp Victory, M One Rifle, Amazombie, Indian Firewater, Cost of Freedom, and Gato Go Win.
