Our Shining Hour covered the six furlong course in 1:09.76, improving his earnings to $46,800. He returned $3, $2.20 and $2.10 as the favorite. Tony's Royalty fought back to finish second, with King La Boo sneaking up for third. ``That was just perfect,'' Zucker said. ``I loved the way he ran first time out from off the pace. And like Kent said, you can use him any way you want to.'' The next move for Zucker is to stretch his horse out. ``I'm sure that he'll get a mile,'' said Zucker. ``He's got such a great turn of foot when you ask him to go after horses. I like him off the pace. He'll stretch out better that way.'' --English shipper El Grand Papa, Jokerman and the John Shirreffs-trained David Copperfield “Copperfield” redirects here.
