( Content Continues Below Ad ) The winner, a slight 5/2 second choice behind Bravazo, took the lead soon after the break and proceeded to set fractions of :23 3/5 and :47 3/5 for the first 1/2-mile. By the time Pioneer Spirit entered the stretch he had opened a 3-length lead, but a determined Bankit was closing fast from seventh place. Mocito Rojo, who raced evenly near the top tier held on for third. The favorite Bravazo finished fifth. Pioneer Spirit, who paid $7.40, $4 and $2.80, will “most likely” make his next start in the $500,000 Razorback Handicap (G3) Feb. 17, trainer Robertino Diodoro said.
