Icabad Crane Wins the Tesio Stakes

Trained by Chris Grove at the Bowie Training Center, Lexi Star ran the 1 1/16 -mile race in 1:43.76.

Rose also scored a gate-to-wire victory aboard sprinter Ravalo in the $75,000 Allen's Prospect Stakes, a six-furlong race for 3-year-olds and up. Despite drifting out late, Ravalo, trained at Laurel by Donald Barr, easily held off Cognac Kisses to win in a fast time of 1:09.82.

Rose finished second in the only stakes race he did not win as his mount Eddie C. made the lead in the stretch but couldn't hold off the rallying Powerful Touch, ridden by Pino, who won the $75,000 Jim McKay for 3-year-olds and up.

Powerful Touch, owned by Magna Entertainment Chairman Frank Stronach and trained by Justin Nixon, took the 1 1/16 -mile dirt race in 1:43.13.

"I love these kind of days," Rose said.

War Pass Injured

War Pass, the 2-year-old juvenile champion last year and one of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby, suffered a small fracture in the sesamoid of his left front ankle and will miss the Triple Crown. Trainer Nick Zito said it was too soon to know whether surgery would be required. . . .

The Polytrack surface at Keeneland continued to suit the 3-year-old runners of trainer Todd Pletcher, as Behindatthebar came from off the pace to win the $325,000 Lexington Stakes.

One week ago, Pletcher's Monba and Cowboy Cal finished first and second to secure their places in the Kentucky Derby. Pletcher said even though Behindatthebar moved up to 18th on the Derby money list, he was unlikely to run.
