He was pressed through an opening quarter in :22.25, but began inching clear after a half in :44.78 and he strode home an easy four-length winner while swapping leads back and forth down the lane. He completed the 6 1/2 furlongs over the all-weather surface in 1:16.14.In his May 17 debut, El Magnate was last after hopping at the break, then clipped heels on the turn before storming down the center of the track to win by 3 1/4 lengths.El Magnate sold for $500,000 as a weanling at the 2023 Keeneland November sale and RNA'd for $725,000 at Keeneland the following September.Graded stakes winner Cover Song has a 2-year-old filly by Into Mischief who RNA'd for $600,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale, and she produced a colt by that sire last year.
