He covered the 1 3/8 miles on a firm turf course in 2:14.50 to defeat eight rivals.“I followed this horse throughout his career,” said Dubb, who won the last two editions of the United Nations with Adhamo and Tribhuvan. “I knew the ability he had and that’s why I claimed him. When he got a little older they put him in claiming races, so we tried to claim him for $25,000 and got out-shook.“When they put him back in for $50,000, I knew he was worth that and quite a bit more. This (the United Nations distance) is Mike Maker’s sweet spot. When we got him, the horse hadn’t been racing this long and I asked Mike why he wanted to go this long. He said he saw it in the breeding.“I wasn’t here for the first two (Adhamo in 2022 and Tribhuvan in 2021). I had not been here for the other two and didn’t want to jinx it today. I got lucky when I came today. It’s amazing to win this race three years in a row.” Monmouth Park Full Card Plays Available Now There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info.
