Winning for the fourth time in six starts, Alternation ran to his strong route pedigree and nailed Jerome winner and lukewarm favorite Adios Charlie in the final strides of Saturday's Grade 2, $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes for 3-year-olds.
If you thought the Peter Pan's 57th running took a while to unfold, that is an accurate assessment. The Peter Pan's final time of 1:49.53 for 1 1/8 miles was the slowest since Postponed registered a 1:49.71 clocking to win in 2000. Beyond that, you have to go back to Lost Mountain (149.40 in 1991), Back Bay Barrister (1:50 in 1984) and Keenation (1:50 in 1960) to find comparably pedestrian times.
Though he didn't bust any stopwatches, Alternation ($9.40), a Pin Oak Farm homebred out of two-time Robert G. Dick winner Alternate, showed sufficient stamina to wear down Adios Charlie by a head under Ramon Dominguez, who was aboard the Distorted Humor colt for the first time.
