Valentin Bukhtoyarov and Evgeny Kappushev’s multiple Group I-winning millionaire Cooptado (Arg) made his first visit to the winner’s circle since capturing the Group I Longines Singapore Gold Cup in 2015 when posting a gutsy nose win in the $75,000 Tenacious Stakes at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots. The Tenacious highlighted a six-stakes, 13-race program on Santa Super Saturday.

Ridden by Declan Cannon for trainer Tom Morley, Cooptado settled within striking range early behindleaderSticksstatelydude through splits of 24.38, 47.94 and 1:12.75. As the leader began to fade, Clinton Glasscock and Two Dimes Stable’s Shut the Box assumed command under Joe Bravo. The Angel Montano, Sr.-trainee battled the eventual winner throughout the final furlong but came up a nose short in a final time of 1:42.78 for the 1 1/16-miles trip. It was another 1½ lengths back to Steve Landers Racing’s Brad Cox trainee Leofric, who rallied well off the layoff for third.

"I had a feeling at the wire that I was head on but I thought that my head was down at the right time,” Cannon said. “My horse is tough, I had a good trip, saved all the ground and got the rail turning for home. When the other horse (Shut the Box) came down to meet me we got into a ding dong, but I think it might have helped me."

"We wanted to try him on the dirt at some point and there was nothing else for him coming up in the near future so we thought 'You know what? We'll roll the dice see how he goes on the dirt and if doesn't work we can go back to the turf with him,'” Morley said. “But there's always a suspicion that those horses quicken away on the turf from him and in here he's been right there all the way around and he's super brave. And a cracking effort from my team who brought him back in three weeks. That's a big turnaround for an older horse like this. The first two races on grass probably set him up for this race today."

Cooptado earned $45,000 for his efforts and increased his lifetime bankroll to $1,164,240 with his sixth win in 36 career starts. He returned $36.40, $12.60 and $6.60, while Shut the Box paid $9.80 and $4.20. Leofric paid $4.20.
