—Mar 10— Kiaran McLaughlin’s Avery Island, who’d disappointed in both the Jerome and Withers Stakes as the odds-on favorite, made up for those performances with a dominant win in the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes. The even odds favorite, Avery Island drew away from Vino Rosso down the stretch to win by three-and-a-half lengths.
Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable’s Vino Rosso, third in the Sam F. Davis Stakes in his debut, finished second, two-and-a-half lengths clear of Enticed, who was a neck in front of King Zachary in fouth.
Free Drop Billy, a distant second to Audible in the Holy Bull Stakes in his debut, wound up fifth.
Firenze Fire, who had placed in both the Jerome and Withers Stakes threw in a clunker, finishing last, fourteen lengths behind the winner.
