Magnitude Rocks The Razorback

[Wandering Eyes]

Making his seasonal debut Saturday, MAGNITUDE (c, 4, Not This Time–Rockadelic, by Bernardini) looked a winner every step as he easily took the down an over-matched field in the GIII Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park.

Second choice Nu What's New (Munnings) gave him an early challenge, leading the 4-5 favorite narrowly for much of the running up the backstretch as the opening half went in :47.38. But Magnitude stayed glued to that one's flank and had an answer for every move, pushing past with ease once the question was asked into the final furlong.

In a parade route to the wire, the son of Not This Time enjoyed an open-lengths win under jockey Jose Ortiz. Nu What's New stayed on for second while Gould's Gold (Goldencents). Lifetime Record: 12-6-2-1.
