Corporate Power Finds Second Wind Late, Rerallies to Take Sir Barton

[Wandering Eyes]

Corporate Power (c, 3, Curlin–Road to Victory, by Quality Road) survived a stewards' inquiry as well as a jockey's objection to win the Sir Barton S.

The eventual winner spent the lion's portion of the race to the outside of his rivals, and had briefly joined the scramble for the front entering the far bend. Losing ground with that wide trip, but still never far from Gould's Gold (Goldencents) as the race unfolded in front of him, Corporate Power had work to do entering the stretch as rivals stacked in front of him.

Grinding relentlessly, he found another kick late in the lane as Imperial Gun (Gun Runner) joined the scramble for the wire, finishing between the top two after making contact briefly with the winner. The subsequent inquiry and disallowed jockey's objection made no change to the finish.
