A March OBS graduate, CAUGHT (Put It Back), was a step slow from the gate in a MSW at Gulfstream going a mile on the turf. In this race, that was a good thing as he missed all the traffic monkey business on the first turn. CAUGHT advanced up the rail on the backstretch, tipped out two wide in the lane and passed the leader in the final strides to win by a neck. He is owned by West Point Thoroughbreds and is trained by George Weaver.
