Coming from far back early, BLAME ANGEL closed strongly to take this one mile off-the-turf Maiden Special Weight by 3/4 length. In eighth place after the first half mile, the 3-year-old colt by BLAME went four wide on the turn, charged down the stretch to catch the frontrunner with a furlong to go and proved best at the wire. Bred by Claiborne Farm out of For Spacious Skies by Golden Missile, BLAME ANGEL is owned by Tim McCarthy and trained by Thomas R. McCarthy.
