Emerald Downs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe steady 5-year-old caught runaway leader Wowie Maui in deep stretch and scored a 1 \u00be -length victory Friday in the $13,300 feature race for 3 year olds and up.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With Leslie Mawing riding, Dress Code ran one mile in 1 minute, 36.02 seconds on a fast track and paid $8, $3.80 and $2.80. Chris Stenslie is the trainer for owners Dan Halvorson and Dr. Rodney Orr.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dress Code has won two of his last three starts after beginning his career with just one victory in 24 starts. The Kentucky-bred son of Doneraile Court has been a good earner, though, finishing first, second or third in 18-of-27 starts with earnings of $85,477. His lifetime mark is 3-10-5 in 27 races.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ridden patiently by Mawing, Dress Code waited in fifth place as Wowie Maui carved out fractions of :23.92, :46.51 and 1:10.13 for six furlongs. Wowie Maui was four lengths clear into the stretch, but tired in the final furlong, and Dress Code swept by for the win.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wowie Maui, the 2-to-1 betting favorite with Juan Gutierrez aboard, held second and paid $3.40 and $2.60.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Go With Gusto, Joe Crispin riding, was some 20 lengths behind the leader on the backstretch, and closed strongly to finish third. Go With Gusto paid $2.80.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Noble Juan, Cat On Base, Lake Swayer and Zagreus completed the order of finish.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
NOTES:<\/strong> Mawing rode two winners to extend his lead to 96-80 over Juan Gutierrez in the Thoroughbred jockey standings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nCrispin also rode two winners.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There is a Pick 5 carryover of $4,645 to Saturday\u2019s races.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
