Post Time was head and shoulders above the field for the Polynesian Stakes, and his class sparkled on Saturday. The 4year-old put together a solid NYRA campaign after he was last seen at Laurel winning the GIII General George Stakes in midFebruary. Sent off as the favorite in the GII Carter Stakes, Post Time won by a neck at Aqueduct Apr. 6, then was the runner-up in the GIII Westchester Stakes during the Belmont at the Big A meet May 3. Playing in the big leagues upstate, the grey was the runner-up behind National Treasure (Quality Road) in the GI Met Mile June 8 and finished third to Arthur’s Ride (Tapit) in the GI Whitney Stakes Aug. 3. Slammed at the windows at five cents on the dollar here, the chalk was in no hurry early as a pair zoomed off to set the pace up the backstretch. Post Time steadily gained ground heading into the far turn, opened up the floodgates at the eighth pole and ran up the score from there.
The winner’s dam is responsible for unraced 2-year-old filly Field Song and she was sent to Tapit for next term.
