+MIZZEN MAX (f, 2, Mizzen Mast–Taxi Dancer {SP}, by Not For Love) shipped in for the John Servis barn and got the money with a determined first-out score at Aqueduct. Coming in off a steady series of five-furlong breezes, most recently going the distance in 1:01 2/5 Nov. 5 at Parx, the gray broke alertly at 11-1 and showed the way through fractions of :23.02 and :46.42. Challenged by 7-5 favorite Tiznow's Smile (Tiznow) nearing the top of the lane, Mizzen Max gamely dug in throughout the stretch to deny that rival by a nose on the wire in 1:25.70. The winner's dam is a half to GSW Devil's Honor (Devil's Bag). She is responsible for a yearling filly by Freud and was bred to Afleet Alex this spring. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000.
