Bred by Phipps Stable and owned by the vaunted racing operation in partnership with Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable, four-year-old colt Dynamic One earned his breakthrough graded stakes win on July 9th in the $400,000 Suburban Stakes (G2) at Belmont Park. (Video below.)
Covering a mile and a quarter on the dirt with jockey Irad Ortiz aboard, Dynamic One was angled in around the first turn, settling in the two path as the trailer in the five-horse field. He remained last while being reserved down the backstretch before being roused at the half-mile point. He went three to four wide around the far turn and made an outside bid at the five-sixteenths. He then dropped to the inside of two foes at the three-sixteenths and battled on to win by a nose.
Entering the race, Dynamic One was coming off of a win of the listed Blame Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 4th, his second career stakes win.
Additionally, as a three-year-old, he finished second in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct in April before finishing off the board in the Kentucky Derby (G1). He returned over the summer to win the listed Curlin Stakes at Saratoga in July before his last start of his sophomore campaign, an off-the-board finish in the Travers Stakes at The Spa.
Sired by Lane’s End stallion Union Rags, Dynamic One hails from the great Phipps female line of Breeders’ Cup champions Personal Ensign, My Flag, and Storm Flag Flying.
The Suburban Stakes win is the 22nd graded stakes race won this year in the U.S. and Canada by a horse from a Phipps female family.
