Global Campaign Runs Away From Tacitus In Woodward

It might have seemed that the Woodward Handicap would finally be the opportunity for favored Tacitus to claim a coveted Grade 1 victory, but Global Campaign had other plans. Under Luis Saez, Global Campaign took command out of the gate, closely tracked by Tacitus and never looked back. The big gray mounted a challenge in the turn but by midstretch was all out and unable to quite catch Global Campaign, who won the 1 1/4 mile contest with his ears up in a time of 2:01.40.

Stanley Hough trains the 4-year-old colt for Sagamore Farm and WinStar Farm.

Tacitus settled for second, while Prioritize was third. Global Campaign's final wining margin was 1 3/4 lengths.

Global Campaign, who was the second betting choice, paid $7.80 to win.

Global Campaign came to the Woodward off a win in the G3 Monmouth Cup on July 18. He also has a win in the 2019 G3 Peter Pan to his credit. He is the son of Curlin and A.P. Indy mare Globe Trot. Global Campaign was a $250,000 yearling at the 2017 Keeneland September Sale, where he was consigned by Select Sales and purchased by Sagamore.

The victory was the second on the Saratoga card for Saez.

Favored Frank’s Rockette Continues Dominance In Grade 2 Prioress

Frank's Rockette added to her already-full resume with a win in the Grade 2 Prioress Stakes under Junior Alvarado on Saturday, stalking a hot early pace and drawing away by daylight. The 3-year-old filly trained by Bill Mott was out of the gate quickly and settled in behind pacesetter Hello Beautiful along the backstretch. Reagan's Edge joined those two rivals through the turn, and the three briefly ran abreast before Frank's Rockette kicked clear mid-stretch, reaching a new gear effortlessly to win by 2 1/2 lengths.

Reagan's Edge held on for second and Center Aisle was third. The final time for the six furlongs was 1:08.89.

Frank's Rockette has finished first or second for her entire career, coming to this race off a narrow victory in the G3 Victory Ride. She also has runner-up efforts in the G2 Frizette, G2 Spinaway and G2 Adirondack to her credit for owner/breeder Frank Fletcher.

Frank's Rockette was bred in Kentucky and is the daughter of Into Mischief and Indian Charlie mare Rocket Twentyone.

Frank's Rockette was the race favorite and paid $5.10 to win. See the full chart here.
