A Three-Year-Old to Watch: Politicallycorrect

Politicallycorrect, a three-year-old son of Kitten's Joy, rebounded from a poor effort in the Gulfstream Park Derby last month to win a seven-furlong allowance race this afternoon at Gulfstream Park by four lengths.

Ridden to victory by Elvis Trujillo, Politicallycorrect settled into the fourth position early on as heavily favored Liberty Bound set a good pace of :22.14 and :44.63. Dreaming of Neno and Forward March were also close to the pace, while The Prize Fighter, Jordan's Image, and Seve were the early trailers.

Rounding the turn, Politicallycorrect made an eye-catching bid to challenge Liberty Bound for the lead. The two colts briefly hooked up at the top of the stretch, but it soon became clear that Politicallycorrect was moving much stronger than his rival. After running six furlongs in 1:09.36, Politicallycorrect drew away powerfully to win in the good time of 1:22.76.

Seve outfinished Jordan's Image for second, while The Prize Fighter rounded out the superfecta. Liberty Bound, Forward March, and Dreaming of Nano completed the order of finish.

The winner is owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey and is trained by Wesley Ward.
