Court Vision took another major step forward earlier today with an impressive victory in the G2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct Park.
He seemed to enjoy the extra distance of the Remsen (1 1/8 miles), but found himself having the worst possible trip, with almost no room to maneuver as they entered the top of the stretch. A lane opened for him at the last possible moment between horses, and even then he bumped around a bit with foes. Still, he was able to get the lead just as they reached the wire, proving he could be triumphant when faced with tremendous adversity.
The race was timed at 1:52.48. Court Vision is now 3 for his last 3 after finishing second in his debut. He’s an improving colt with impressive bloodlines (A.P. Indy) that will warrant more attention as the spring prep races arrive. He’s been on my horse watch list since the Iroquois.
Mr. Mott has another one! wow, what a run.
