While Blake Shinn has ridden the chestnut in all of his previous races and trials, Kerrin McEvoy was in the saddle and the duo was somewhat slow to leave stall one before getting up into fourth entering the turn. Capitalist tossed his head about in the lane, imploring his rider to allow him to do more, and McEvoy finally let his colt loose and he steamed up the fence to win while not fully extended (video).
