Let go at odds of 14-1 trying the deep waters of Sunday's GI Spinaway S., LEAVE NO TRACE (f, 2, Outwork–Tanquerray, by Red Ransom) negotiated the apparently steep hike from restricted maiden company with aplomb to cause the upset. Allowed to sit up on a moderate early tempo while tracking two and three wide, the $40,000 Fasig-Tipton October yearling bid three wide into the lane, with Kaling (Practical Joke) launching a rally at the fence and with favored Wonder Wheel (Into Mischief) to her outside. Kaling led between calls in upper stretch, but Leave No Trace sustained her run, took command about a furlong from home and held sway late. Wonder Wheel did enough for second ahead of Kaling in third, while American Rockette (American Pharoah), who ducked to the outside at the break, did exceptionally well to be fourth. Leave No Trace is the eighth stakes winner and first graded winner of any kind for WinStar's Outwork, while trainer Phil Serpe was unsaddling a Grade I winner for the first time since Birdonthwire won the 1993 Vosburgh S.
