Although he is technically not three-years-old yet, Revolutionary stamped himself as a colt to watch on next year's Triple Crown Trail when he romped to a convincing victory in a one-mile maiden special weight this afternoon at Aqueduct.
The Todd Pletcher-trained colt was sent off at just a shade over even-money against six rivals. With Ramon Dominguez aboard, the son of War Pass out of the A.P. Indy mare Runup the Colors tracked the pace in third for over half a mile before a bid just prior to the quarter pole. From there, the race was over, as Revolutionary drew off powerfully through a quick :24.79 final quarter mile to win by 8 1/2 lengths in 1:36.52 seconds.
Transparent finished second in a sharp effort, leading the way through fractions of :23.85, :47.45, and 1:11.73 before proving no match for the winner. However, he was in turn 10 1/4 lengths clear of third-place finisher Inmyfathersimage, who rallied mildly from last to edge Mr Beauregard for the final spot in the trifecta. Malachite, Thunder But Norain, and Market Blaster completed the order of finish.
The winner is owned by WinStar Farm and was bred by W. S. Farish.
