Gufo Goes Back to Back in Sword Dancer

[Wandering Eyes]

GUFO (h, 5, Declaration of War–Floy, by Petionville) successfully defended his title in Saratoga's GI Sword Dancer S. as he ran down longshot Mira Mission (Noble Mission {GB}) under a well-timed Joel Rosario ride. He earned an automatic spot in the GI Breeders' Cup Turf starting gate with the victory. Soldier Rising (GB) (Frankel {GB}) completed the trifecta. Gufo, last seen finishing fifth in the GI United Nations S. July 23, stopped the clock in 2:28.92.
