Bad Action flies home in Pegasus Sanford H. Robbins, Winning Move Stable and P & D Kaplan Racing's BAD ACTION (Brahms) was sent off the 11-1 second longest shot in Friday evening's $150,000 Pegasus S. (G3) at Meadowlands, but the Gary Gontessa charge ran like a winner. Saving ground on the inside while running in last, the dark bay angled out underneath jockey David Cohen, came wide rounding the turn and drew off to be a half-length clear of longshot Big Top (Giant's Causeway) on the wire. Bad Action ran 1 1/8 miles on the fast dirt in 1:49, returning $24, $10 and $4 to his backers while keying nice exotics that totaled $188 (exacta), $602.60 (trifecta) and $2,250.20 (4-3-1-6 superfecta). "There was a pretty fast pace out there and he was pretty much against the bit the whole way," Cohen said. "Gary's only instruction to me was to get him outside, and I found out today that he has a big run. I know a lot of jockeys say this, but the whole way, I was gathered with horse. I could have made the lead at any time." The three-year-old gelding, who was racing in straight claiming events as recently as September, made his stakes bow a second in the Proud Truth S. at Aqueduct prior to this one. He now owns a 21-8-5-3 line to go along with $299,115 in lifetime earnings.
