RIDE A COMET (c, 3, Candy Ride {Arg}–Appealing Zophie, by Successful Appeal) rallied strongly late to take the GII Del Mar Derby going away on the penultimate day of the seaside season. A fourth-out graduate in the Fair Grounds slop last December, the $375,000 OBS April buy repeated on the turf there Jan. 6 before finishing eighth in the GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks Mar. 17 at Turfway. Capturing a pair of Woodbine grass events, including the Charlie Barley S. June 30, he was last seen running a fast-closing third in the GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. Aug. 3 at Saratoga. Let go as the distant 59-10 second choice in this spot, the bay settled in eighth up the backside behind fractions of :23.97 and :48.26. Bottled up briefly on the far turn, he swung furthest out approaching the lane and stormed down the center of the course to take charge at the sixteenth pole and score by two lengths. Kazan (Ire) (Shanghai Bobby) nailed even-money chalk River Boyne (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) for second late. Lifetime Record: 10-5-0-1, $305,856. O-John C. Oxley & My Meadowview Farm LLC; B-My Meadowview LLC (KY); T-Mark E. Casse.
