I D K broke his maiden in convincing fashion on Thursday night at Scioto Downs, winning gate-to-wire for
Jack Dailey in 1:57.1 in a two-year-old pace.
Dailey sent the Stand Forever gelding to the fore at the start and never looked back. Second favourite Cruise Thru broke stride soon after the start and trailed the field throughout the mile.
David Myers put Cams Tuck (Cams Card Shark) in behind I D K as the leader coasted to an easy opening half-mile in :59. Then Dailey discouraged any heroics in the final half-mile as I D K stepped the back half in :58.1. Cams Tuck held for second while favoured Sectionline Barack (Art Major) rallied from far back to get third from post 10.
I D K was making his second career start for trainer Charles Ross of Lebanon, who owns him in partnership with Douglas Ross of Cincinnati.
Drivers Chris Page and Dan Noble continued their duel for the driving title as Page picked up three wins and Noble triumphed in a pair of races. Page now has 68 wins and Noble has 63.
