Without Further Ado, the Beyer: 98
The 2yo Gun Runner colt Further Ado apparently wanted to run ... further. 3rd-time starter coming out sprints won R8 @keenelandracing by - I'll guess 16 3/4 lengths. 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.52 is going to get the kind of figure you'd expect (high).

Desvio roars home under (who else) @ljlmvel to win the Sycamore @keenelandracing. 34-1 shot last win in the '24 Kent S. Sixth in three of his five starts this year.

While Americans can’t afford insulin, Big Pharma spends over $10B a year buying off the media and brainwashing you with predatory ads. TV. Internet. Magazines. All infected. They’re not promoting health, they’re pushing dependence. Congress must pull the plug. Ban Pharma Ads!

Truly eye-popping race but do keep in mind that the KEE main track can make the right horse shine brighter than his essential magnitude.

I was way off. A full 20-length victory for Further Ado. Increased it by 10 lengths from stretch call to finish. Kind of a shocking performance.
