Legitify Race Recap

Legitify checked in fourth in today’s finale at Santa Anita Park. He was claimed by Steve Knapp. We must admit that him being claimed was a shock to us given his form, but given his performance today, we cannot complain with the price we got for him. We obviously had much greater aspirations for this colt, but despite all the investigations completed on his underlying throat issue, we have to believe that was his Achilles heel and not something that could be remedied.

There were no excuses for him today. He jumped out of the gate and was able to clear the field, controlling the tempo under moderate fractions. Heading into the turn the challenges started to come and he was able to hang in there for a brief period, but he could not shake them off.

Our team will begin the account closure now and we will follow as soon as it is finalized.
