For Three-Year-Olds

One Mile & Seventy Yards - Main Track

Sunday, May 22, 2011  Race 10

Main Track: Fast   Turf: Good

Finish Wire:
Uncle Otto bobbled at the break while Line Change was bumped.  Malibu Glow stumbled leaving the gate.  Rush Now would clear the field from the seven hole and take the lead into the first turn and then down the backside carrying a two and one-half length advantage over Iscar and Uncle Otto.  In the far turn Rush Now continued on the lead as jockey Joe Bravo sat motionless as the horse was doing it well in hand before being asked slightly in the lane, then opening up in deep stretch to win The 2011 Spend A Buck Stakes by four and a quarter lengths in a final time of 1:40.67.  Uncle Otto was second best while Malibu Glow recovered from stumbling at the start for third.  Rush Now is a three-year-old bay colt owned by David Cottle and Smart Angle LLP, trained by Anthony Dutrow and was ridden by Joe Bravo.
 

Rush Now, guided by Joe Bravo, wins The Spend A Buck Stakes.
