Carrothers showed plenty of moxie yesterday at Presque Isle Downs in an allowance race over the all-weather surface. The 4-year-old gelding, who came away with a length victory in the 1 1\/16th-mile race, was several lengths off the pace going into the first turn and down the backstretch. When he made his move on the rail heading into the final turn under jockey Antonio Gallardo, he had company to his outside but he held his ground and was maneuvered to the outside in the lane and set his sights on the pacesetter, Driftwood, and easily collared that rival inside of the sixteenth pole to reach the winner\u2019s circle for the 4th time in his career.<\/p>\n
Running as the even-money favorite in the six-horse field, Carrothers returned $4.20 for a $2 win bet and completed the distance in 1:42.23.<\/p>\n

As we shared yesterday after the race, trainer Kent Sweezey \u2014 who has now saddled the son of Mshawish to two victories for the gelding\u2019s partners \u2014 said the fact that Carrothers didn\u2019t break all that alertly likely worked to his advantage.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t break great for us, but that actually might have played out in our favor knowing how tricky he can be,\u201d Sweezey said. \u201cMaybe it was a blessing in disguise that he didn\u2019t have any horses around him and kind of settled.\u201d<\/p>\n
