Custom For Carlos Wins Count Fleet Sprint

Homewrecker Racing and Avalon Farm's CUSTOM FOR CARLOS (More Than Ready) had to dig deep for every ounce of class to prevail in Friday's $150,000 Count Fleet Sprint H. (G3) over a loose-on-the-lead Chief of Affairs (Yonaguska), and the 3-5 favorite did just that under Mike Smith. Unhampered while setting fractions of :22 and :45 1/5, Chief of Affairs opened up 2 1/2 lengths on the field in midstretch and briefly looking home free. But the favorite, who tracked in third along the inside early before moving outside for the stretch run, kept grinding away at that margin and was able to get his neck in front at the wire. Custom for Carlos returned $3.40, $2.80 and $2.20 after completing the six fast-track furlongs at Oaklawn Park in 1:09.
