Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 5, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 5, 2021 West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm, Bobby Flay and Woodford Racing's First Captain (c, 3, Curlin–America, by A.P. Indy) remained unbeaten with an authoritative victory in the GIII Dwyer S. at Belmont Park Monday. Sent off the 2-5 favorite, First Captain raced at the back of the five-horse field as Ridin With Biden (Constitution) set the pace under a snug hold through an opening quarter in :23.47. That longshot was still a length in front after a half in :46.67, but First Captain was tipped out for clear sailing at the top of the lane and the long-striding colt closed powerfully to take the lead with a furlong to run before pulling away to score by two lengths. Ridin with Biden was second and Snow House (Twirling Candy) was third. The time for the one mile was 1:36.19. First Captain, a $1.5-million Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling, debuted a winner going seven furlongs at Belmont Apr. 24 and was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' after battling back to win a one-mile allowance May 29. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0. O-West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm, Bobby Flay and Woodford Racing. B-B Flay Thoroughbreds (Ky). T-Shug McGaughey.
