HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -- Valid Video, making his first start in over four months, edged away from the odds-on favorite, Excessivepleasure, to win a nearly race-long duel in the $250,000 Sunshine Millions Dash, a seven-furlong race for 3-year-olds. Edgar Prado was aboard the winner.
"He was sick that day," said Dennis Manning, who trains Valid Video in Ocala for owner Mac Fehsenfeld. "It was evidently a virus, because he had a 104 temperature the next day. We gave him a lot of time off, and when we saw the Sunshine Millions, we figured this would be a good spot to bring him back." Valid Video, a Florida-bred by Valid Wager, won by a half-length over Excessivepleasure, with Supah Blitz another 3 1/4 lengths back in third. The winner ran the seven furlongs in 1:22.38 and returned $7.40 as the second choice. | |
