Margaux Training Grad BOB’S EDGE upsets the King Cotton S., going 6F on the dirt at Oaklawn Park January 29, earning his first stakes victory.
Off at odds of 7-1, he broke at the back of the pack as even-money favorite NASHVILLE led the field through a quick quarter in :21.90 alongside long-shot HOME BASE. BOB’S EDGE patiently creeped along the outside of the field and made a bold move at the top of the stretch to take command and pull away to win by 2 3/4 lengths in 1:10.50.
The 4 YO son of COMPETITIVE EDGE has made 12 career starts, on the board 10 times with 5 victories. Owned by Michael & Patricia Freeny and Jennifer Taylor and trained by Larry Jones, this marks the first stakes victory for the gelding and brings his earnings to $396,428.
