The Equibase comment for Great Aztec was 'bumped, pinched, steadied start' and the 3-year-old colt was last after a quarter of a mile in a 5 1/2-furlong turf race at Laurel Park on Oct. 28. But the son of Greatness recovered nicely, angled off the rail in the stretch and blew by the field to score by six lengths as the 9/5 favorite. The colt is 3-3-1 in his last seven races, including three victories in his last four, and has increased his bank account to $61,103.
