Trained by Philip Feanny, Inspire Force trailed the leaders early on but Raddesh Roman’s masterful ride brought the horse into contention on the half-mile turn. Jordon Reign’s (Ismael Velasquez), Taurus Boy (Omar Walker), and Banadura (Chris Mamdeen) all turned for home with winning chances, however as the pack approached the final stretch Inspire Force, ridden by Roman, unleashed a blistering burst of speed, sweeping past rivals to win by two and three quarter lengths.
