Another Todd Pletcher-trained juvenile, Corfu, was backed down to favoritism and jumped out to set the early pace, but once again had to settle for second behind another talented runner. In Trouble launched his career with a narrow score at the Spa Aug. 10, and was given a 5-2 chance to remain unbeaten. Content to let Corfu roll through In Trouble opening splits of :22.09 and :44.75, In Trouble engaged the wilting leader in the stretch and pulled 2 1/4 lengths clear at the wire. AHe broke really sharp, and I preferred to be outside dictating [the pace rather] than be inside and be under someone else who can force us,@ said winning rider Joe Rocco Jr. AIt worked out when I saw I could get behind [Corfu] and get outside of him...So we had options.
