Willcox Inn fired his best shot as the 3-2 favorite in the American Classic Stakes this afternoon at Arlington Park, wearing down Crimson Knight to win the mile and a sixteenth event by three lengths.
Under Robby Albarado, the colt sat in second early on behind Crimson Knight as the latter set a very slow pace over a turf course labeled yielding. On the far turn, Willcox Inn pounced and took command in the stretch, drawing away powerfully to win the race in impressive fashion. The final time was 1:49.51.
Suntracer rallied well for second, finishing a nose in front of Extensive, who was in turn a nose in front of Crimson Knight who tired late for fourth. Pulpitarian, Legendary King, Forbidden Forest, Fort Larned, and Sandy's Diamond completed the order of finish.
