Brazilian Bred Pico Central gained his third Grade One
win of the year, all in New York. Pico captured The Carter Handicap at
Aqueduct in April at seven furlongs and The Metropolitan Handicap in May
at a mile. In the Vosburgh, run at six furlongs, Pico was close behind
favorite Speightstown at the start but drew clear early and crossed the
line in 1:09.74 with a four length margin over longshot Voodoo. Next
start for Pico might be the Cigar Mile and Speightstown appears to be
headed to Lone Star for the Breeders' Cup.
