Klaravich Homebred ‘Surges’ To Valley View Victory

[Wandering Eyes]

Favored on the morning line at 3-1 for Friday's GIII Bank of America Valley View S. at Keeneland, Klaravich Stable's SURGE CAPACITY (f, 3, Flintshire {GB}–Strong Incentive, by Warrior's Reward) launched a furious final-furlong flourish and was along in the dying strides to–somewhat remarkably–give trainer Chad Brown a first victory in the event at an overlaid 5-1. The homebred was off alertly from gate nine and was able to cross down to ride the rails into the first turn as Yesternight (Midnight Storm) was hard sent from the 11 hole to make the running. Appearing to overrace while traveling on the back of the speed through the middle furlongs, Surge Capacity continued to sit a good trip, but took an awkward stride as the field approached the stretch. Shuffled back a few spots as a result, the well-related filly commenced her rally in earnest at the eighth pole, was switched to the inside of GIII Music City S. winner Secret Money (Good Samaritan) shortly after and charged home along the fence to just touch off Heavenly Sunday (Candy Ride {Arg}), who raced prominently throughout. Bling (American Pharoah) was third. The victory provided a timely and valuable pedigree update for her dam, who just Thursday was supplemented to the Fasig-Tipton November Sale Nov. 7. O/B-Klaravich Stable (KY); T-Chad Brown.

 

#9 SURGE CAPACITY ($12.16) was bottled up behind horses in the stretch, but snuck up an opening along the rail to win the G3 Valley View Stakes at Keeneland!
