ILIAD (r, 2, Ghostzapper–Little Swoon, by You and I), faded badly to ninth behind American Anthem (Bodemeister) making his maiden voyage over this trip at Del Mar Dec. 3 and returned here as a 4-1 shot. In a pressing second though a half-mile in :44.53, the bay shook loose by midstretch and, although Kimbear (Temple City) took a good run at Iliad inside the final 100 yards, the ridgling crossed the wire about three lengths to the good. The final time for the six furlongs was 1:08.34. Sales history: $50,000 Wlg '14 KEENOV; $80,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP; $285,000 2YO '16 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0. O-Kaleem Shah Inc.
