Dismissed at 21-1 despite a flashy local tab, Chris Drakos and Ryan Hanson’s WESTON (g, 2, Hit It a Bomb–Elke, by Dixie Union) blasted out of the gate and never looked back to become the first winner for his freshman sire (by War Front). Scrubbed along to seize a narrow advantage on the fence, the $7,000 KEESEP bargain buy headed for home with a clear advantage as only $550,000 OBSMAR buy Ambivalent (Constitution) seemed to have any shot to catch him. Weston never looked back, however, and streaked home two lengths in front, stopping the clock in :52.27. Sales history: $7,000 ylg ’19 KEEJAN; $7,000 ylg ’19 KEESEP. O-Chris Drakos & Ryan Hanson. B-Evadi Farm Team (Ky). T-Ryan Hanson.
