This event, an Arden Downs stake, was over early. Although Patriarch Hanover needed more than a quarter to get the lead from post 8, the son of Father Patrick-Personal Style cruised from there, defeating Romanee Blue Chip by 2 lengths in 1:54.1. Beyond Ordinary was third.
“He’s a nice little horse,” said winning driver Kakaley. “He’s probably not as good as the top few — he’s just a little too small. But he tries his heart out. He gives it his all no matter what.”
