Race Round-Up (R9): Gr. III Lexington Stakes (3yr M, 1-1/16th Mile Dirt, $200,000)
Track Condition: Fast
Final Time: 1:44.14 (24.33), (48.23), (1:12.88), (1:38.05)
Anothertwistafate and Sueno were on the outside looking in on the Kentucky Derby 2019 leader board and a victory by either might have solidified a spot in the starting gate. Owendale squashed those dreams with a powerful wide trip victory under Florent Geroux. The son of Into Mischief broke through the graded ranks and crossed the wire at 1:44.14. Trainer Brad Cox is not one to overlook and certainly knows how to win big races. We could possibly see this guy in the Preakness however I would not be surprised to see Cox looking elsewhere.

With his second-place finish, Anothertwistafate sits in 23rd on the leader board with 38 points (tied with Signalman). Sueno now has 32 points and sits in 24th on the Derby leaderboard. A few horses would have to scratch or opt out of the race for these two to get in.
