Rahy's Attorney, a Grade 1 winner at a mile in his younger days, showed there's still plenty left in the tank at the age of 7 when he stretched out to 1 1/2 miles for the first time to capture Saturday's $150,000 Pan American at Gulfstream Park.
Under a beautifully judged ride by jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson, Rahy's Attorney parlayed a stalking trip into a .three-quarter-length victory over the 9-year-old Musketier to add the Grade 3 Pan Am to an impressive resume, highlighted by his 1 ¼-length victory over Ventura in the 2008 Woodbine Mile. Rahy's Attorney, a 7-year-old son of Crown Attorney, paid $12.60 after completing the distance in 2:25.85 over a firm course.
Rahy's Attorney, who was beaten less than a length by Prince Will I Am when second in the Grade 2 Mac Diarmida here earlier this meet, stalked the pace of longshot Beckham Bend from the outset of the Pan Am. Rahy's Attorney gained a short advantage near the quarter pole, edged clear in early stretch, then dug in resolutely to hold safe Musketier. Musketier, also a Grade 1 winner, sat a perfect trip just off the leaders while saving ground, eased out into the stretch, and was gaining gradually at the end.
Prince Will I Am raced a bit farther back than expected and rallied belatedly to finish third as the even-money favorite.
