For the seventh time in his career, Sylvia E. Heft's EIGHTTOFASTTOCATCH got the big score, and this time took the show on the road by winning Pimlico’s $100,000 Henry S. Clark Stakes on Saturday, April 20 by five lengths. It was his first stakes win away from his Laurel Park homebase. 

Trained by Timothy L. Keefe, the 7-year-old chestnut gelding shook off the winter rust and proved back to old form, shooting to the front from the start under Forest Boyce and never backing down. He extended his lead through the stretch and came home in 1:43.91 for the mile and a sixteenth in the off-the-turf Clark. 

Bred by Dark Hollow Farm and Herringswell Stable, EIGHTTOFASTTOCATCH got his 12th career win from 41 starts, has 11 stakes wins or placings and earnings of $645,430. Out of Too Fast to Catch (by Nice Catch), he is a half brother to BAYONNE (by Dance With Ravens), a stakes winner of $177,783 who finished third in the $200,000 Sugar Maple Stakes at Charles Town later that evening of April 20.
