Owned and trained by Frank Cavazos, the black gelded son of Brookstone Bay and the Strawfly Special mare Flyin Features went off as the prohibitive 1-to-2 favorite in the sixth of eleven trials and justified his odds with a dominating, front-running 1 1/2 length score over Six Toast to earn a speed index of 102.
