Camp Victory rallied past heavily favored The Factor to post a 10-1 upset in the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap (gr. I) this afternoon at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Ridden to victory by Joseph Talamo, Camp Victory settled into midpack early on, just a few lengths behind a moderately quick pace set by The Factor, who ran the opening quarter mile in :22.49 and :44.82. Italian Rules and Smiling Tiger were right behind him in third, followed closely by Camp Victory and Centralinteligence. There was a large gap back to Tres Borrachos in sixth, while Mobilized was the trailer by at least eighteen or twenty lengths.
Rounding the turn, Smiling Tiger moved up to challenge The Factor, and those two briefly kicked away from the field. However, Camp Victory soon entered the picture on the far outside, and entering the homestretch he left The Factor and Smiling Tiger behind en route to a decisive victory. The final time for seven furlongs was 1:22.75.
Mobilized made up an incredible amount of ground to finish a distant third, while Tres Borrachos rallied on the outside to complete the superfecta.
