From the TDN:
ROCKET DAWG (c, 2, Classic Empire–Rever de Vous {SP}, by Distorted Humor), the most expensive first-crop yearling of 66 sold by his freshman sire when bringing $375,000 at last year’s FTKSEL sale, tuned up for this with a five-furlong spin in 1:01 1/5 (5/15) at Churchill Nov. 13.
Off at odds of 9-2, Rocket Dawg raced in an outside seventh through an opening quarter in :22.76 after exiting from post nine. He began to roll beneath Florent Geroux while three wide rounding the far turn, set his sights on the leader approaching the quarter pole and powered home down the stretch to graduate by 5 1/2 lengths over Grantham (Declaration of War).
