Clan is Pure class in Modesty

Lewis Lakin's homebred PURE CLAN (Pure Prize) proved to be much the best in the $200,000 Modesty H. (G3) over the Arlington Park turf course on Saturday, taking over in the lane and drawing clear by a convincing 2 1/2 lengths at the wire. Kept wide throughout by Julien Leparoux, the Bob Holthus trainee got her cue at the top of the stretch and she responded immediately, pulling clear with each stride. She completed the 1 3/16-mile firm turf event in 1:55 1/5 and returned $3.60, $2.20 and $2.10 as the 4-5 choice.
