King Glorious Wins by 21-Length Margin

King Glorious, making his first start since capturing the $1 million Hollywood Futurity in December, won by 21 lengths in the $52,050 Piedmont Stakes at Golden Gate Fields on Sunday.

With jockey Chris McCarron aboard, King Glorious ran a quick 1:09 2/5.

King Glorious, who was sidelined with a slight injury to his right knee after his win in the rich Hollywood Futurity, led from start to finish in the Piedmont, which was restricted to 3-year-olds bred in California.

Owned by Four M Stable and Halo Farms and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, King Glorious earned $29,550 for his sixth victory in as many races. The 3-year-old son of Naevus boosted his earnings to $676,050.

Because of the three-horse field, there was only win wagering on the Piedmont. King Glorious was a 1-9 favorite by the crowd of 17,388 and returned $2.20.
