+ADMIRAL JIMMY (c, 2, Jimmy Creed–Zayanna, by Bernardini) was bet hard for the Todd Pletcher barn and ran to her backing with a powerful stretch run to graduate first out at Gulfstream and become the first winner for his freshman sire (by Distorted Humor). Entering off of a half-mile gate breeze at Palm Beach Downs in :50 1/5 (4/13) Apr. 17, the homebred took the bulk of the play to be 11-10 at the off. Breaking a length or two behind sharp-starting second choice Kingston Pike (Awesome of Course), the bay was hustled to go after that one and led narrowly through a :22.19 quarter. Taking charge fully as he straightened for home, Admiral Jimmy burst clear by the eighth pole and came home 3 1/2 lengths to the good of his pace companion in :51.07, equaling the track record set by subsequent MGSW Awesome Banner (Awesome of Course) June 5, 2015. The winner is a half to three-for-three stakes winner Velvet Mood (Lonhro {Aus}). His dam is responsible for a yearling filly by Curlin and foaled a filly by Liam's Map Mar. 31. Third dam Sabin (Lyphard) was a MGISW and has a graded stake run on this oval named after her. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
