MULLIKIN (c, 4, Violence–Tulira's Star {GSP}, by Congrats) broke his maiden at third asking by 10 1/4 lengths at Churchill Downs last May, was the runner-up to GSW Ryvit (Competitive Edge) in the Maxfield S. at Ellis Park in July and capped his year with a fourth-place finish over the same surface at the end of that month. Laid off since, the dark bay returned as the 2-1 second choice here. Mullikin was the speed of the speed up the backstretch and continued to pour it on around the far turn. Kicking for home, the 4-year-old opened up past the eighth pole and took the money by 5 3/4 lengths over Chance (Lookin At Lucky).
A half-sister to SW Tulira Castle (War Pass), the winner's dam is responsible for a 2-year-old filly by McKinzie, a yearling colt by Maxfield and she foaled a colt by Liam's Map Mar. 25.
