Willyconker pulled off a 10-1 upset this afternoon in the $300,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes (gr. I), holding off a late run from odds-on favorite Mr. Commons to win by a neck.
Ridden to victory by Joel Rosario, the colt was content to settle into the third position early on as Jimmy Simms set a moderate pace of :23.17 and :46.95. Compari was racing in second, while Mr. Commons was racing toward the rear of the field while right along the rail. Jeranimo -- the second choice in the field of eight -- was also one of the trailers.
