Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 8, 2019 SIR WINSTON (c, 3, Awesome Again–-La Gran Balladora, by Afleet Alex) came running late to register a 10-1 upset over favored Tacitus (Tapit) in the GI Belmont S., providing his trainer Mark Casse with his second straight Classic win following War of Will (War Front)’s victory in the GI Preakness S. He saved ground near the back as 21-1 shot Joevia (Shanghai Bobby) ticked off opening splits of :23.92, :48.79 and 1:13.54 with Tax (Arch) keeping him honest in second. Biding his time into the backstretch, the chestnut inched up the fence to be third entering the far turn, tipped out two wide in the final furlong and surged clear to score. Tacitus made his way through traffic late to be second and Joevia held for third in a final time of 2:28.30. Third in the GIII Grey S. and winner of the Display S. at Woodbine last term, Sir Winston was off the board in both the GIII Withers S., GII Tampa Bay Derby and GII Toyota Blue Grass S. earlier this term. He ran a much-improved second last time in this venue’s GII Peter Pan S. Lifetime Record: 10-3-1-1. O/B-Tracy Farmer (KY); T-Mark Casse.
