It was going so well until it wasn’t…
Coming off an allowance win over a similar distance at Churchill Downs in June, Virginia-bred Proud Strike was matching strides with the eventual first-place finisher Transparent when that one veered out. The Smart Strike colt steadied and almost went down causing jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. to lose an iron for a few strides losing all chance. Proud Strike got himself back together and finished fifth.
Transparent was disqualified and placed fifth.
