Twilight Meteor (Smart Strike-One Over Prime, by With Approval) ran up to his earlier form with a win in the grade III Canadian Turf Stakes at Gulfstream, edging away late to top stubborn pacesetter Buddy’s Humor (Distorted Humor-Hello Barbara Sue, by Dehere) by a length.
Buffalo Man (El Prado-Perfect Six, by Saratoga Six) was just a head back in third. French import Passager (Put It Back-Restraining Order, by Skip Trial) was back in fifth. The highly regarded Sporting Art (Donerail Court-Playful Run, by Run Softly) got a great trip, saving ground behind an honest pace, but never rallied. Delightful Kiss (Put It Back-Restraining Order, by Skip Trial) checked in tenth after trailing throughout. This has got to nix those Dubai plans. Hey Byrn (Put It Back-Restraining Order, by Skip Trial), making his first start on the lawn, was eased, but appeared to be okay.
The results on the whole were disappointing for horses looking to return to form (Sporting Art), step up to a new level (Vanquisher) or take on new challenges (Delightful Kiss, Passager, Hey Byrn). But definitely look for the winner to move forward off this. He seems to be rounding back to form after his layoff and could be a threat this summer.
