Favored Old Fashioned made sure there wasnt a lot of suspense about the outcome of the $200,000 Remsen Stakes (gr. II) for 2-year-olds at Aqueduct Nov. 29. The son of Unbridled's Song grabbed the lead early and then romped to a 7 1/4 length victory in New York.
Ridden by Ramon Dominguez, Old Fashioned completed the 1 1/8 miles in 1:50.33 to score his third career victory and remain undefeated. Under a hard hold with less than a furlong to go, the colt needed only one tap of Dominguezs left-handed whip to keep straight during his charge to the wire.
Once he made the lead, I took a peek back, hit him one time, and he took off, Dominguez said. It was pretty impressive. Judging by today, there is no telling how far he can go.
Atomic Rain finished second, 2 1/2 lengths ahead of American Dance. Idol Maker was fourth, followed by Hold Me Back, Rip Rap, and Awesome Mich. Jazzandthemagician was scratched.
Old Fashioned wasnt pushed hard by his six rivals during his trip over the fast Aqueduct surface. His fractions were :24.41, 49.44, 1:14.18, and 1:38.11.
The horse had a perfect trip, said Old Fashioneds trainer Larry Jones. The fractions up front were very realistic. They let us run out there pretty easy. I was very grateful to see the fractions, especially as they came around the far turn.
Owned by Fox Hill Farms, Old Fashioned paid $3.50, $2.90, and $2.40 to his backers. Atomic Rain returned $9.10 and $4.90, and American Dance paid $3.40.

24..24..24..24..12 not really a performance i would be raving derby about...wene you walk like that early a 40tag NY SBRD maiden could have have stolen that race...
i like this horse. reminds me of hard spun larry jones had him to. i dont see any horses like street sense or curlin to beat him in the triple crown races like hard spun got beat
I just made a $20 future wager on pool 1 today at 10-1 odds. You almost feel that you have to wether he makes it or not. We will no more in the southwest how he will handle some good competition in silver city.
Since is a son of Unbridle's Song the one thing you have to worry about is his hooves! They seem to be very fragile! But if he learns to rate like in 6th or 8th at the Derby this horse will be a sure winner!
looks like another hard spun...front running style won't do him any good...ran against a bunch of nobodies with slow fractions on the lead...great horse but lets see him get pressured
