Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 3, 2022 Journalists Posted July 3, 2022 Winchell Thoroughbreds' Gunite (c, 3, Gun Runner–Simple Surprise, by Cowboy Cal) scored a determined victory in the Maxfield S. at Churchill Downs Sunday. The 4-5 favorite raced along the rail just off the pace as longshot Overtaxed (Fed Biz) took the field through fractions of :23.08 and :46.25. He had nowhere to go nearing the stretch, but the rail opened at the top of the lane and the favorite snuck through before grittily holding off My Prankster (Into Mischief) and Hoist the Gold (Mineshaft) to the wire. He completed the seven furlongs in 1:23.08. The dark bay colt, winner of last year's GI Hopeful S., went to the sidelines following a fifth-place effort in the GI Champagne S. last October. He resurfaced with a runner-up effort over the Maxfield's track and seven-furlong distance in a June 3 optional claimer last time out. Lifetime Record: GISW, 8-3-3-1.
