Finite takes G2 Golden Rod over Motu
Finite, the 4-5 favorite off her six-length victory in Churchill Downs' Rags to Riches Stakes, made things more exciting for her connections before pulling off a three-quarters of a length victory over 13-1 Motu in the Grade 2, $300,000 Golden Rod, the track's premier stepping stone to next May's Kentucky Oaks. We speak with David Fiske, racing and bloodstock manager for breeder and co-owner Winchell Thoroughbreds, Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen as well as Motu trainer Kenny McPeek, who experienced his meet-leading 14th second of the meet. Note: Asmussen and jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. two races later swept the stakes with Silver Prospector's victory in the Grade 2, $300,000 Kentucky Jockey Club. -
