Gary and Mary West's Power Broker grabbed the lead at the top of stretch and drew off to a 2 1/2-length victory in the $51,384 allowance feature for 3-year-olds and up on Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs.

Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Rosie Napravnik, Power Broker completed the 1 1/16 miles on a sloppy track in 1:44.59.

The only 3-year-old in the field of six, Power Broker is a Kentucky-bred son of Pulpit out of the Wild Again mare Shop Again. The victory was the first for Power Broker since his victory in the FrontRunner (Grade I) last September at Santa Anita and improved his record to 7-2-1-1 and boosted his earnings to $288,800 with Friday's $31,200 check.

Sent off as the odds-on favorite, Power Broker returned $3.80, $2.80 and $2.20. Cary Street, ridden by Miguel Mena, held on for second and returned $10.20 and $3.80 with Suns Out Guns Out finishing 4 ¾ lengths back under Corey Lanerie and paying $2.40 to show.
