Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM Journalists Share Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM Already in possession of points on the Road the Kentucky Derby thanks to his win in the Remington Springboard Mile Dec. 13, COAL BATTLE (c, 3, Coal Front–Wolfblade, by Midshipman) added 10 points to that total and is now a three-time stakes winner in taking Saturday's Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park. The most experienced runner in the field and a winner of his last two, the 9-2 shot was keen to go and set a pressured pace though the fractions stayed manageable. Shaken up off the turn, he kicked away from a tightly-grouped field to lead in Mo Quality (Mo Town) and Kale's Angel (Complexity). Lifetime Record: 6-4-0-0.
