Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 3, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 3, 2018 Stormy Liberal (Stormy Atlantic–Vassar, by Royal Academy), winner of last season’s GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, made it two-for-two with an off the pace run in the 2018 renewal of the race at Churchill Downs. Sent off at 7-1 following a trio of victories, including the GIII Eddie D. at Santa Anita Sept,. 28, the gelding broke quickly from the nine hole and found himself closeup but was eased back to a stalking fourth behind the fleet-running World of Trouble (Kantharos), who carved out splits of :22.50, :45.83 and :57.71. Drawn to the outer turning for home as World of Trouble cut the corner, Stormy Liberal needed the entire length of the stretch to get past the game leader, and was a neck ahead of front runner at the wire. It was a long way back to Disco Partner (Disco Rico) in third. The final time for the 5 1/2 furlong turf test was 1:04.05. Lifetime Record: 30-12-8-1, $1,968,930.
