2011 The Metropolitan

A wide starting barrier was no hindrance to The Verminator, who started well enough and pushed forward to race comfortably alongside the early front-runners. As they came into the straight, The Verminator had plenty of gas left in the tank and had no trouble running away from all challengers to win by nearly three lengths over Hawk Island and Lamasery.
