Keystoneforvictory took the lead entering the first turn and was never headed as he went on to win Saturday’s $75,000 Forty Niner Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
Keystoneforvictory, the even-money favorite, beat Tizzarunner
by 3 ¼ lengths in the 11/16 mile turf
race for 3-year-olds. Fleming finished third, another half-length back in the nine-horse field.
Rafael Hernandez rode the colt Keystoneforvictory, who
won in the fast time of 1:40,15 on the course listed as firm. It was
Keystoneforvictory’s first stakes victory and fourth win in eight overall
starts. He is a son of prominent turf sire Shakespeare.
Mike Maker trains Keystoneforvictory for owners Ken
and Sarah Ramsey.
The win was the first for Hernandez in more than four
months. He returned to riding on Thursday after recovering from injuries
sustained in a spill at Gulfstream on Feb. 20. He broke a collarbone, fractured some ribs and needed to have a kidney removed.
