When Deadliest Catch by Chocolatier, the only non-Muscles Yankee finalist in the field of six, broke stride in the first turn, 1-5 Corky [$2.40, $2.20, $2.10] coasted to a three-length victory over King Muscles [$5.60, $3.80] in 1:57.3. It was three and a quarter lengths to Amalfi Coast [$5.00] in third.
Corky, driven by David Miller and trained by Jimmy Takter, picked up his third win with four seconds in seven starts. He won all of his New Jersey Sire Stakes starts and was second best by a neck in the Peter Haughton Memorial.
A $100,000 Lexington Selected Sale purchase, Corky now has a bankroll of $227,297 for owners Christina Takter of East Windsor, NJ and brothers Jim and John Fielding of Toronto, ON.
