Foster winner Ron the Greek was raised at Bridlewood for breeder Jack T. Hammer, while Turf Cup winner Turbo Compresser was bred by Bridlewood, sired by a Bridlewood stallion, then foaled, raised, and sold by Bridlewood.
Multiple Grade 1 winner Ron the Greek became racing's newest millionaire with his hard-earned Foster victory, as he charged from far back along the rail to snare the win in the shadow of the wire. This was his second Grade 1 win of the year, following the Santa Anita H. (G1). He has compiled a record of 19-7-4-1 and $1,112,597 under Hall of Famer Bill Mott for the ownership group of Brous Stable, Wachtel Stable and Jack Hammer.
Turbo Compresser was equally impressive under different circumstances, leading the entire way then pouring it on in the final eighth to earn his third career stakes triumph. Owned by P&G Stable and Off the Hook and trained by Todd Pletcher, Turbo Compresser bolstered his record to 13-6-1-2 and $620,960.
