Troubleshooting Takes Bryan Station on Saturday’s Final Day of Keeneland Fall Meet

Donamire Farm’s homebred Troubleshooting passed early leader Golden Afternoon on the final turn and then held off a rallying Tenacious Leader by a neck at the finish to win the $600,000 Bryan Station (G3), the second of three stakes on Saturday’s closing day of the Fall Meet at Keeneland.

A 3-year-old colt by Not This Time, the sire of the race’s first four finishers, Troubleshooting was ridden by Tyler Gaffalione for trainer Greg Foley. His time for the 1-mile race on a firm turf course was 1:35.78.

Troubleshooting paid $9.76, $5.76 and $4.54. Tenacious Leader, ridden by John Velazquez, returned $7.76 and $6.20. Finishing 1½ lengths behind in third was Giocoso, who paid $6.24 under Ben Curtis.

Completing the order of finish were Dream On, Salamis, Golden Afternoon, Mesero, Final Gambit, Antisocial, Simulate, Plensa and Game Warrior.

Troubleshooting, who won the $2 million Ainsworth-Franklin Simpson (G1) at Kentucky Downs on Sept. 6 in his last start, is a Kentucky-bred out of Into Trouble, by Into Mischief. He earned $339,450 for today’s win to boost his bankroll to $1,735,106 with four wins in 10 starts.
