Instant Replay, trained by Brad Cox, won the $200,000 Bathhouse Row Stakes at Oaklawn Park by three-quarters of a length, clocking in at 1:52.06 over a fast track. Jockey Flavien Prat expressed surprise at the horse’s performance, noting that Instant Replay found another gear in the stretch.

The Bathhouse Row Stakes, along with the Federico Tesio Stakes at Laurel Park, served as automatic-entrance qualifiers for Triple Crown-nominated runners into the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course. Instant Replay’s victory in the race made him the first stakes winner for his sire, Maximum Security, who stands at Ashford Stud for $5,000.

Instant Replay, a 3-year-old homebred son of Maximum Security out of the mare Academy Gal, is owned by Gary and Mary West. The victory in the Bathhouse Row Stakes solidified Instant Replay’s potential as a contender in future races, showcasing his ability to rally from fifth place and outkick his rivals in the stretch.
