   Upset winner of the GIII Sunland Derby in what was his final appearance for trainer Shannon Ritter, Endorsement was sidelined for 20 months and returned to be a decent second in a six-furlong Gulfstream allowance Dec. 10. He broke through the gate ahead of a Jan. 1 allowance going a mile in South Florida, but still managed a runner-up effort, and was entering this off a front-running victory going two turns in Hallandale Feb. 1. Allowed to save ground and sit the box seat from fourth, Endorsement was just off the heels of the leaders, but was outmoved by a three-wide Canonize into the far turn. Jockey Robby Albarado steered Endorsement off the inside and kept him covered up behind that first flight before shifting to the outside of the race favorite to attack with a furlong and a half to race. Going slightly the better, Endorsement quickened past Canonize and on to a good-looking victory. The winner is bred on the exact same cross responsible for GISW and young sire Any Given Saturday.
