Second to the reopposing Aerolite when unveiled over a furlong shorter beneath the Twin Spires May 21, Cosmic Evolution stepped up to stakes company Saturday night. She caught a flyer from the gate and settled in a tracking fourth as the leader set a swift opening quarter of :22.21. Given a couple of taps with the persuader in upper stretch, Cosmic Evolution edged to the front while four off the rail and held favored Adhara (Cowboy Cal) safe to earn her first black-type rosette in style. “She broke sharp; that really helped,” commented winning trainer Lon Wiggins. “And Calvin [Borel] got her to relax good. When he called on her she came running. I'll have to watch the replay a couple of times because it looked like she was trying to drift out a little bit, pulling on that left rein. But she ran good. She ran real good.”
