By Smart Strike out of multiple graded stakes winning mare Owsley, Strike has the pedigree to be a good racehorse and to like the turf.   He wasn’t handed today’s race easily as he was pressed a lot of the way by a long shot and when he did go to win his race he was headed for a while but he showed his toughness by fighting back to get his nose in front at the wire.  Congratulations to owners and breeders Stone Farm.
