BASHART has now placed in back-to-back Graded stakes after a solid effort in Churchill Downs’ 1 1/16-mile Commonwealth Turf S.-G3. The 3-year-old colt by WAR FRONT was coming out of a runner-up finish, beaten less than a length, in Delaware’s Kent S.-G3, also on the turf. BASHART has won or placed in four Graded stakes which include a wire-to-wire win in Saratoga’s Grade 2 With Anticipation S. and a runner-up finish, beaten only a length, in Keeneland’s Bourbon S.-G3, both last year as a 2-year-old.
