Rockin Amadeus (Rocknroll Hanover), driven by Yannick Gingras for trainer Jimmy Takter, was declared the winner via disqualification in his division.

(continued on next page) The Captain did it again last night at the Red Mile (Photo Credit: Nigel Soult) It was the sixth victory in a row for Captaintreacherous, who had not competed in a pari-mutuel race since Sept. 1.

The colt kicked clear to lead by two lengths exiting the turn, looking to pull the upset. But Captaintreacherous, in the clear on the outside, wore the leader down in the stretch to win handily, stopping the clock in 1:51.3 for the mile. "I talked to Tim after the race, and I said, 'I think that's the biggest race he's ever run,'" Alagna said. "We've always talked about his key is his ability to relax. ... He's just always showed us he had a little extra something, and he's such a smart colt. ... It's a great characteristic in a horse his age."
