1st-Belmont The Big A, $90,000, Msw, 9-21, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 1:18.42, ft, 1/2 length.
COMES A TIME (c, 2, Not This Time–Bachelors Walk, by Street Cry {Ire}) broke at odds of 7-1 and was prominent from the outside throughout, staying in touch from a close third and shifting up outside pacesetter Rookie Card (Adios Charlie) into the stretch. The pair dueled down the stretch with Comes a Time just collaring his rival in the final yards to win by a half-length. Insighted runner Fun to Tap (Tapit) never factored after staying wide for much of the running to come home fifth while Au Contraire stalked the early pace but faded coming for home to be seventh. Comes a Time, a $200,000 KEESEP grad last year, has a foal half-brother by Mendelssohn with his dam due back to Corniche next year. Sales History: $200,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
