Owned by breeder Nancy Lavrich and Ronald Zielinski, and trained by Richard Zielinski, Altissimo now has $1,114,204 in career earnings from 22 wins, nine seconds, and six thirds in 52 lifetime starts. This game gelding, an 8-year-old son of Noble Causeway-Great Goin Rose, by Albert the Great, also captured this same stake in 2018 and 2019 and is both a multiple stakes winner and owns a graded stakes-placed title as well. He was the 5-2 favorite in this stake.

“He is my one horse in a million, our 15 minutes of fame every time we come to the racetrack,” said winning owner Nancy Lavrich.

“Three years ago we set a million dollars as our goal with this horse and we got there today,” said winning trainer Richard Zielinski.

Direct Deceit, the 11-1 choice, finished a strong second for jockey A.I. Diaz, with 7-2 Diamond Dust finishing third for rider Jose Bracho.
