When the gates flew, $1.15-million buy Kristofferson (Nyquist) and 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Desert Gate (Omaha Beach) went to the front with Interpido between the two. He got the 1 1/16 miles of the American Pharoah in 1:43.67 as Plutarch finished just in front of Desert Gate. Intrepido was a $385,000 purchase at the OBS April sale by Michael Pender for Dutch Girl Holdings and Irving Ventures. #2 INTREPIDO ($19.60) had a strong kick late to get up and win the $300,000 American Pharoah Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita. The son of Maximus Mischief (@spendthriftfarm) earned a spot in the @FanDuel @BreedersCup Juvenile (G1).
