#2 Terrific Phoenix – January 7 :18.6 at 350 yards
Solo Work: Fly Thru The Fire gelding returns to action after an impressive rallying third in his trial to the Golden State Million Futurity. He posted this solo work in preparation for this race.

He was under a big stranglehold at the wire and continued under a hold in his gallop out.
