UNCAGED (c, 2, Curlin–Dark Nile {GSW, $250,230}, by Pioneerof the Nile), given a 5-1 shot on debut in a deep and seemingly evenly-matched field, wound up racing mid pack from fourth as the lead changed hands up front in a pace duel through fractions of :22.12 and :45.33. Saving ground into the far turn, he began a sustained rally past the quarter pole, had to come to the center of the track for room and closed stoutly to out-finish Sea Vista (Street Sense) by 1 3/4 lengths. Classicist (Curlin) filled out the trifecta for Todd Pletcher while Code of Justice wound up scratching. Out of late GIII Delaware Oaks winner Dark Nile, Uncaged is his dam's last foal. Sales History: $450,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
