BALTIMORE — Ramiro Restrepo prayed the bidding would not jump to $300,000.
He was already past his budget, but he and Gustavo Delgado Jr. so liked what they had seen from this 2-year-old colt — the ease of his movement and the pep that remained in his step after a hard workout.
Restrepo could not glimpse the competing bidder, hidden behind a wall at Timonium Fairgrounds. All he could do was hope that $290,000 would get it done.
