Fasig-Tipton-Winner-Logo.jpgBODEXPRESS (c, 4, Bodemeister–Pied a Terre, by City Zip) had been knocking at the door of a graded victory throughout his career and broke through Friday at the highest level with an 11-1 upset in the GI Clark H. at Churchill Downs. Away alertly, the bay pressed from second early as 99-1 shot Phantom Currency (Goldencents) clocked opening splits of :23.39 and :47.94. Headed by Mr. Freeze (To Honor and Serve) to his inside, Bodexpress maintained his position through three-quarters in 1:12.77. Mr. Freeze took over from Phantom Currency approaching the far turn and Bodexpress ranged up on his outside with favored Code of Honor (Noble Mission {GB}) splitting horses outside of him. Coastal Defense (Curlin) joined the assault to Mr. Freeze’s inside and Owendale (Into Mischief) joined Code of Honor on the far outside, but Bodexpress was going strongest of all and forged clear in the final sixteenth to score. Third in the GIII Hal’s Hope S. Mar. 28, Bodexpress filled the same spot in Saratoga’s Alydar S. Aug. 9. Second in a Churchill optional claimer Sept. 5, he demolished the field by 11 1/4 lengths next out at Gulfstream Park West Oct. 17. Lifetime Record: 17-4-4-3.
