ADMISSION OFFICE (c, 3, Point of Entry–Miss Chapin, by Royal Academy) was off at 13-1 despite a nice pedigree and high-profile connections, as the bulk of play went towards fellow Chad Brown trainee Frontier Market (Lemon Drop Kid), who was looking to break through after missing by a neck last out with a solid 88 Beyer Speed Figure. Sluggishly away and in a far-back last early, Admission Office sat back behind swift early splits and started to come alive around the turn for home. Circling up down the center, he took some time to level off, but found his best stride late to inhale his stablemate by a widening half-length under a confident Jose Ortiz ride. According to Trakus data, the winner covered his final quarter in a swift :23.06. He is a half-brother to Coffee Clique (Medaglia d'Oro), GISW, $1,063,988; Royal Fury (Langfuhr), MGSP, $313,377; and Schoolofhardrocks (Rock Hard Ten), SP, $221,330. His dam produced an Animal Kingdom filly last term and another Point of Entry colt earlier this season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000.
