+POETIC (f, 2, Violence&log=">Violence–Smooth Performer {SW & GSP, $247,900}, by Benchmark) was let go at generous odds of 9-1 for this first attempt. Smoothly away, Poetic was a close-up seventh through respectable opening splits. Given the word approaching the turn, he moved to the front by midstretch and drove 1 1/2 lengths clear of True Royalty (Is It True) at the wire. Poetic is the eighth winner for her freshman sire (by Medaglia d'Oro). Condi (Elusive Quality) completed the trifecta. Favored Taylor and Burton (Pioneerof the Nile) came home a well-beaten fifth. Poetic's stakes winning dam, Smooth Performer, produced an Into Mischief filly in 2016 and a filly by Honor Code this term. She was bred back to Kentucky Derby hero Animal Kingdom.
