SLAPINTHEFACE 2022 GRADUATE

NBS Grad Slapintheface dropped back in tight quarters between horses leaving the chute then angled in, moved from the rail to the two path late on the first turn, settled towards the rear, saved ground while roused on the far turn, moved out in upper stretch, rallied into the final furlong and closed with a rush to get up late and prevail. Congrats to all winning connections breeder/owner Niall Brennan Stables, trainer Anthony W. Dutrow and jockey Manuel Franco.
