Mindframe Up in Time in Churchill Downs Stakes Thriller
With a relentless rally on the outside under Irad Ortiz Jr, Mindframe edged Nysos and Banishing to win a blanket photo in the May 3 Churchill Downs Stakes (G1).
The winner ran seven furlongs over a sloppy track in 1:22.64, prevailing by a head in the $1 million sprint at Churchill Downs. Favored Nysos, making his first start since February 2024, lost for the first time in four starts and finished in a dead heat with Banishing for second.
Todd Pletcher trains the winner, a 4-year-old son of Constitution , for owners Repole Stable and St. Elias Stables. The 7-2 second choice, Mindframe paid $9.08 to win.
