Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 7, 2024 Journalists Posted September 7, 2024 Impressive when running up a nearly double-digit winning margin en route to earning a 92 Beyer Speed Figure on debut at Gulfstream July 13, RATED BY MERIT (c, 2, Battalion Runner–Banner Waving, by Speightstown) jumped into stakes company Saturday and set a new stakes record in the Dr. Fager Stakes. The heavy 2-5 favorite, who went gate to write in that maiden romp, prompted the pace from the outside of Neoequos (Neolithic) but always loomed off the far turn. Unleashed past a :44.91 half mile, Rated by Merit rolled home to win going away. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O/B-St Elias Stable; T-Michael Yates. #8 RATED BY MERIT ($2.80) lives up to the hype in the $100,000 Dr. Fager Stakes at @GulfstreamPark. Jesus Rios piloted the juvenile Battalion Runner colt for trainer Michael Yates. He is undefeated in two starts. pic.twitter.com/CR2xKivTZY — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) September 7, 2024 The post Rated By Merit Stays Perfect In Gulfstream’s Dr. Fager Stakes appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
