Hallandale Beach, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Sky Flight, ridden by Jose Lezcano, made a successful move into stakes company by winning Saturdays $75,000 Tropical Park Derby at Gulfstream Park. Trained by Mark Casse for John Oxley, Sky Flight broke from the inside post as the 9-2 third pick in the 12-horse field of 3-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. Smooth Daddy was the 5-2 favorite with Other Cheek the 3-1 second choice. A veteran of three prior starts, Sky Flight made it three wins in a row with Saturdays stakes victory. The colt didnt start to run until the final turn when Lezcano, aboard for the first time, moved his mount to the outside. The race seemed to set up for us. He was going good and I wasnt going to rush him, ask him to do something he doesnt want to do, Lezcano said. He was comfortable and when I asked him to run he closed really well. Sky Flight ran down pacesetter Cement Clement nearing the wire and was able to post a length victory over the 25-1 longshot. Getting third was Smooth Daddy with Cabo Cat fourth. Hes been forwardly placed in his other races, but obviously the pace was a lot hotter today. Jose did the right thing and had him a little farther off the pace and it set up perfectly, said Norman Casse, assistant to his father. Jose rode a great race. Completing the order finish were Daddys Kid, Best Plan Yet, Other Cheek, My Storm Trooper, Morning Calm, Breitling Flyer and Roman Approval. Wallyanna was pulled up on the backstretch. Bashart and Ironicus were scratched. The time for the Tropical Park Derby was 1:40.25 on a firm turf course. Sky Flight received his largest paycheck of $43,245, increasing his earnings to $105,445 with three wins in four starts. Racing exclusively on grass, the 3-year-old was fifth in his debut race at Kentucky Downs followed by a pair of wins at Keeneland and Churchill Downs, respectively. Earlier on as a 2-year-old he had shown a lot of talent, but he came up with some baby issues and we backed off on him, Norm Casse said. Ever since weve got him back in full training, hes really progress well, every week, really. It seems like the skys the limit and today was a big step. Sky Flight returned $11.40, $7.60 and $4.80. Cement Clement paid $24.40 and $13.80, and Smooth Daddy paid $3.40 to show. Stitched Orioles Jerseys .
