Bobby on Fleek, reportedly named for the late, great Bobby Frankel–trainer Chad Brown's mentor who would have been 75 Saturday–had fired several local bullets for this unveiling and was crushed in the wagering down to 6-5. Breaking on top, the chestnut was wrangled in by Irad Ortiz, Jr. to stalk the pace perched three deep through splits of :22.91 and :46.41. Ranging up ominously to assert at the top of the lane, he cantered away from his rivals to score by a geared-down six lengths. Condo Prince (Paddy O'Prado), the half-brother to Grade I-winning juvenile Condo Commando (Tiz Wonderful), rallied from out of the clouds to complete the exacta. Bobby on Fleek's second dam is SW Bema (Pulpit), who produced fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Due Diligence (War Front), a debut winner for Brown who later went on to be a stakes winner and Group 1-placed overseas. Bema's Gold produced a Regal Ransom colt last year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $51,000.
