4th-AQU, $59,000, (S), Alw (NW2$X)/Opt. Clm ($40,000), 12-14, 3yo/up, 1 1/16m, 1:44.96, ft.

DIVERSIFY (g, 3, Bellamy Road–Rule One, by Street Cry {Ire}), purchased by Ralph and Lauren Evans for $210,000 out of the WinStar horses of racing age consignment at last month’s KEENOV sale, stayed perfect in his third straight impressive victory versus state-breds at the Big A. Off as the 1-2 chalk while trying two turns for the first time here, the New York-bred showed the way through an opening quarter in :23.63 and a half mile in :47.95 and opened daylight in the stretch to win for fun. It was 12 3/4 lengths back to Taoiseach (Dublin) in second.

Diversify, previously campaigned by WinStar Farm, debuted with a 4 1/2-length tally going 1 1/16 miles at Belmont and followed with a first-level allowance win going a mile most recently Sept. 22, good for a 91 Beyer Speed Figure. Diversify’s dam Rule One, a maiden of six career starts, was purchased by Fred W. Hertrich III for $57,000 in foal to War Front at the 2010 KEENOV sale. Rule One has also produced the unraced 2-year-old colt Misspent Youth (Exchange Rate) and a yearling filly by Data Link. Sales history: $150,000 Ylg ’14 SARAUG; $210,000 3yo ’16 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0, $108,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
