PRISONER (c, 2, Violence&log=#tot">Violence–Al Max Diner {SW, $131,226}, by End Sweep) denied the overly hyped Fauci (Malibu Moon) to graduate on debut in New York's first baby race of the year. Seizing the early advantage, the 6-5 second-choice dueled with favored Fauci through a :22.54 opening quarter and into the far turn. Prisoner shrugged off his foe in the stretch, cruising clear to a dominant 4 3/4-length victory. The winner is a half to Manuka Honey (Borrego), SW & MGSP, $177,084. Stakes winner Al Max Diner produced a Wildcat Red colt last year and was bred back to that Florida-based stallion. Sales history: $180,000 Wlg '18 KEENOV; $195,000 RNA Ylg '19 FTSAUG; $175,000 2yo '20 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $35,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
