Corporate Affair loves it in Puerto Rico

Over the span of his first three seasons, Corporate Affair went 32 races at Gulfstream Park and one at Tampa Bay Downs without winning a race. All the now-5-year-old gelding by Gone Astray had to show for it was two seconds and six thirds.

After a typical outing on Jan.1, Corporate Affair shipped to Puerto Rico and wound up in the barn of Rojas Racing Stable and trainer Carlos Sostre. All his new trainer has done with the gelding since is send him to the post four times at Camarero, and Corporate Affair has responded with three victories and one second, the loss coming by a nose to a 3/10 shot.

In his latest, the gelding went wire-to-wire under Nicky Figueroa, winning by 1 1/4 lengths with seven furlongs in 1:25.86. He paid $8.20 and received a 79 Equibase speed figure, best of his 37 races. He’s won his three victorious outings by a combined total of 10 lengths.
