Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 27, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 27, 2018 Bankit (c, 2, Central Banker-Sister in Arms, by Colonel John) became the third winner for his freshman sire (by Speightstown) with a front-running victory over fellow New York-breds in the opener at Saratoga Friday. The 1-5 favorite contested the early pace before powering clear down the lane to score by six lengths and completing the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:04.35. The Grand Canel (Bullet Train {GB}) was second and Bret’s Legacy (Boys at Tosconova) was third. Bankit set the pace before finishing second behind subsequent GIII Sanford S. runner Lexitonian (Speightstown) in his five-furlong debut at Belmont Park June 27. Purchased by SGV Thoroughbreds for $85,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred Yearlings sale, Bankit sold to Winchell Thoroughbreds for $260,000 after working a furlong in :10 2/5 at this year’s OBS March sale. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $60,000. O-Winchell Thoroughbreds & Willis Horton Racing. B-Hidden Brook & Blue Devil Racing (NY). T-Steve Asmussen.
