Two weeks after placing second in a nine-furlong restricted N1X turf allowance at Belmont and 29 days after winning a 6-1/2-furlong main track maiden special at Big Sandy, owner-trainer John Candlin's NEW TESTAMENT tallied at the restricted N1X level going an off-the-turf mile and a sixteenth at Belmont on Friday. The three-year-old colt's sudden emergence seems the combined result of developing maturity -- foaled on April 25, 2003, he was the youngest of six starters, three-year-olds and up, in his latest outing -- and increased distance. Overcoming a bumped start, New Testament scored by 2-3/4 lengths over even-money favorite Benlayla (entered for main track only) for his second win and third on-the-board finish in six starts.
