De Francis Memorial Dash Stakes (G3) at Pimlico. ( Content Continues Below Ad ) Laki broke from post 4 under Horacio Karamanos at 7/1 odds and sat off the pace in fifth for the early going. Krsto Skye set the early tempo while the 4/5 favorite Landeskog gave closest chase through opening fractions of :22.96 and :45.03. Still leading as the field straightened for home, Krsto Skye begrudgingly gave way inside the 1/8 pole. A four-wide Laki drove past while running between Nitrous and an even wider Eastern Bay. A close examination of the win photo found that Laki was a nose past Eastern Bay, with Nitrous another nose behind in third. Trained by Damon Dilodovico, Laki completed the 6-furlong fast dirt sprint in 1:09.70.
