2nd-Delaware, $48,125, Msw, 6-5, 2yo, 5f, 1:00.84, ft, 8 lengths.
IT'S HAMMERTIME (c, 2, Vekoma–Steady N Love {SW, $241,305}, by Not For Love), the 6-5 favorite, flew out of the gate to the early lead, but ceded his advantage to Fortheloveofrun (Runhappy) into the far turn and settled into second. He reeled in that foe approaching the stretch, took charge in midstretch and powered clear to graduate by eight lengths. Fortheloveofrun held off Hello Sunshine (Spun to Run) for second. It's Hammertime, the third winner for his freshman sire (by Candy Ride {Arg}), is a half-brother to Shackled Love (Shackleford), SW, $159,248. Steady N Love has a yearling colt by Game Winner and was bred back to that stallion last year. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $30,000.
