CANDY MAN ROCKET (c, 3, Candy Ride {Arg}–Kenny Lane, by Forestry) faded to seventh in his career bow in the slop at Churchill Downs Nov. 22 and received Lasix for the first time in this second attempt. Breaking on top, the 7-1 shot was overtaken by Jeebar (Frosted) and settled to stalk from second through a :22.79 opening quarter and :46.11 half-mile. Sweeping to the front entering the lane, the bay charged clear with ease to win for fun by 9 1/4 lengths. Jeebar held second. The winner’s dam is also responsible for the juvenile colt Notacry (Orb) and a yearling filly by Tonalist. Kenny Lane was bred back to Tonalist.
