PADDY O'PRADO WINS THE DIXIE STAKES!

Paddy O'Prado rallied furiously from far behind to win the Dixie Stakes (gr. II) at Pimlico Race Course this afternoon.

The heavy favorite at 3-5, Paddy O'Prado sat last in the early behind a slow pace. But when asked for his run by jockey Kent Desormeaux, the colt simply exploded past everyone to win the race by two lengths in 1:53.56.

Longshot Baryshnikov, who set a very slow pace, took a clear lead into the homestretch but was caught late and ended up second. Bim Bam came on late for third, while Pocket Patch completed the superfecta.
