Central Command ran as advertised in his debut, performing to his 8-5 backing by rallying from off the pace to an easy win over the more experienced Candygram going 6 1/2 furlongs under maiden special weight conditions. The win was the third of the day for jockey Javier Castellano, who rode Central Command, a son of Into Mischief, for trainer Chad Brown. Central Command got the Rainbow 6 sequence off to a chalky start, with more than $741K in new money added to the $3.44 million carryover.
