Torch Is Passed (Munnings) confirmed his productive performance on the tapeta, leading his campaign to his third win in just eight starts. The Panamanian jockey Miguel Vasquez placed him in the lead early on, and his rivals could do little to nothing, setting a time of 1’03″41 for the 5 1/2 F.
The horse owned by Kenneth Ramsey was always solid in his advance toward the finish line, leaving Lazzio as the best of the rest. It was a perfect day for Nolan Ramsey at Gulfstream Park, with two wins in as many starts.
