Making his debut for trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Black Rock Thoroughbreds, FAR FROM OVER battled to the wire to get the win in this one mile & 70-yard Maiden Special Weight at Aqueduct. The son of BLAME was up close from the start and gained a narrow lead with about a 1/2 mile to go. He battled head to head around the far turn, lost the lead to that foe in mid-stretch but dug in and battled to the wire to get the victory by a nose. FAR FROM OVER, who was bred by Alexander Groves Matz, LLC out of the graded-placed Alchemist, by A.P. Indy, sold for $550,000 at last year’s Keeneland September sale, the highest priced yearling by all first-crop sires in 2013.
