Notes:
Pretension
emerged
from a
blanket
finish to
win the
Canonero,
formerly
known as
the
Federico
Tesio, by
a neck
over
Brimstone
Island in
1:45 3/5
for 1 1/16
miles. It
was
another
neck back
to My
Adonis,
who was
entered
but
scratched
from the
Kentucky
Derby.
Having
raced on
or near
the lead
in each of
those
outings,
Pretension
found
himself
much
farther
back in
both the
Grade 3
Gotham and
Grade 3
Illinois
Derby,
losing
round late
and
finishing
fifth and
ninth,
respective
ly.
The
chestnut
son of
2006
Kentucky
Derby
runner-up
Bluegrass
Cat
returned
to his
winning
ways at
Pimlico in
the
$51,000
Canonero
II on May
5.
