American Pharoah’s Two Bits Game as They Make’em to Win Ruthless

[Wandering Eyes]

Employing a paint-scraping ride in the lane, Two Bits (American Pharoah) muscled her way to the lead and fought off her challenger to win the Ruthless Stakes at Aqueduct.

Breaking her maiden two back Nov. 29 at this venue, the Amelia Green-trainee was last seen running a well-beaten second Jan. 3 in the Busanda Stakes behind MSW Dazzling Dame (Girvin).

Watching the race unfold from a ground saving trip, jockey Jaime Rodriguez opted to take the inland path as a wall of runners lined up to his outside with Interstatelovesong (Bolt d'Oro) to catch. Closing up the rail and able to push into a narrow advantage, the fillies battled down to the wire with Two Bits winning the photo. Our Golden Gator (Golden Lad) claimed third.
