Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 5, 2024 Journalists Posted August 5, 2024 The annual renewal of Mountaineer's biggest race, the GIII West Virginia Derby, went to Dragoon Guard (Arrogate–Filimbi, by Mizzen Mast) who carried the Juddmonte colors for the win in gate to wire fashion. The homebred was last seen winning the GIII Indiana Derby July 6 and off that effort he was slammed at the windows as the heavy 3-5 favorite. The gray powered away at the break and took the field into the first turn. With little pressure behind him, the 3-year-old kept to the task and sailed down the lane to a three-length score over the late-running Dimatic (Gun Runner). The final running time was 1:49.96. Lifetime Record: 5-4-1-0. O/B-Juddmonte Farms; T-Brad Cox.
