Kid Cruz, seventh on debut at the Big A Nov. 3, was claimed from Black Swan Stable and trainer Bill Mott for $50,000 out of his six-length graduation there next out Nov. 22. He was a close second last time going 1 1/16 miles in an Ozone Park allowance for his new connections Jan. 26. Overlooked a bit by the bettors, the bay trailed the field by several lengths through glacial early splits of :25.18 and :49.93. Out in the center of the track in the lane, Kid Cruz inhaled his rivals to go from last to first to win going away. Click for the brisnet.com chart or VIDEO.
