Continental Divide, purchased for $245,000 at the Barretts May Sale of 2-year-olds in-training in May 2017, won for the second time in his career in an allowance race with a $20,000 claiming option in Sunday's first race.
Continental Divide ($11.20) was not eligible to be claimed.
Ridden by Kent Desormeaux, Continental Divide caught 7-5 favorite Foster Boi in the final strides to win the one-mile turf race by a neck.
Owned by Deron Pearson and trained by Jim Cassidy, Continental Divide has won 2 of 13 starts. A4-year-old colt by Animal Kingdom, Continental Divide won the Graduation Stakes for state-bred 2-year-olds at Del Mar in August 2017 in his second start. This was his first win on turf.
