Gray Attempt became the third black-type winner for his sophomore sire (by Unbridled's Song) with a front-running score in the Sugar Bowl S. at Fair Grounds. Seizing the early advantage, the $50,000 FTKJUL buy ticked off opening splits of :22.23 and :45.90. Manny Wah (Will Take Charge) tried his best to close in on the leader, but Gray Attempt was always going the better of the two and easily held that rival at bay. The winner has a yearling half-sister by Tapiture and his dam was bred to Overanalyze this year. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
