O'Prado again wore down Souper Speedy in deep stretch to win the $200,000 Remsen Stakes (gr. II) at Aqueduct by three-quarters of a length.
Ridden by Kent Desormeaux, the son of El Prado sat reserved off of a slow early pace set by Souper Speedy and Our Entourage, who clicked off fractions of :24.38, :49.97, and 1:15.05. The two colts remained together on the lead all the way into the homestretch, battling side by side until Souper Speedy began to draw away. But O'Prado again was charging hard on the far outside and his late bid carried him to victory in 1:52.07. Souper Speedy held second by a head over El Padrino, with Done Talking another head back in fourth.
Paddy O'Prado is trained by Dale Romans and owned by Donegal Racing, the same connections that raced the top turf three-year-old of 2010 Paddy O'Prado.
