Complex System goes wire-to-wire at Gulfstream for 3rd victory

There was nothing complex – again – about the overpowering performance turned in by Complex System at Gulfstream Park yesterday.

The 4-year-old colt by Amira’s Prince jumped out of the gate from the No. 9 post with Emisael Jaramillo, took the lead into the first turn, and was never seriously threatened for the remainder of his mile and one-sixteenth journey over the turf course.

The colt bred by Beth Bayer put up solid fractions of :23.75, :47.33 and :1:10.09 and was three in front as he straightened out for home. The final margin was 3 1/4 lengths, the time 1:41.35, and the winner’s check of $14,700 increased his earnings to $119,890. He has a record of 3-4-1 in 11 starts, all three victories coming this year.

Complex System is one of three runners by Amira’s Prince who has passed the $100,000 mark in career earnings.
