+TRADE ZONE (c, 3, Bernardini–Connie Belle {SW, $172,254}, by Storm Cat) continued a strong run at the meet for Godolphin Racing and Kiaran McLaughlin with a sharp first-out score from off the pace. Coming into his debut off of a strong best-of-84 half-mile from the gate in :47 3/5 on this oval July 28, the bay was sent to post at 39-10 as part of an entry. Off in midpack, Trade Zone settled at the rail in sixth, three lengths off a :22.67 quarter-mile. Last after a half in :45.96, he tipped out at the top of the lane and closed stoutly in the four path to get up inside the sixteenth pole, pulling away to a 1 3/4-length score. Nick Can Fix (Majestic Warrior) was elevated to second after runner-up Basic Hero (City Zip) was disqualified to fifth. Trade Zone's 2-year-old full-sister, Ladies Day, was a distant second to 'TDN Rising Star' Runway Doll (Majestic Warrior) July 31 at this meet. The victor's stakes-winning dam is a half to GISW Bob and John (Seeking the Gold). She is responsible for a yearling filly by Street Sense and foaled a Candy Ride (Arg) filly this term.
