COPPER TOWN (c, 4, Speightstown–Dynazaper, by Ghostzapper) returned from a year-long layoff to capture a second-level Keeneland allowance test with authority Saturday afternoon. Crowned a ‘TDN Rising Star’ after breaking his maiden impressively at second asking last September, the bay posted a massive 106 Beyer Speed Figure when repeating in a Belmont allowance test traveling 1 1/16 miles a month later. Sidelined since that effort last October, he resurfaced in this spot as the clear 3-5 favorite and, despite breaking a touch slowly, secured a spot tracking the pace four wide behind a quarter-mile in :22.95. Quickening readily while hung wide on the turn, he kicked clear in the lane and scored by open lengths in 1:15.91. Veteran Control Stake (Discreetly Mine) rallied up the rail to complete the exacta. Lifetime Record: 4-3-1-0, $141,780.
