The gelded son of Apollitical Jess, out of the Sixes Royal mare Confession Session, prevailed in the 400-yard derby with a time of :19.483 seconds over a fast track.
Daniel Luna began training Gyr Jammer after he was purchased by Aguado at the 2016 Heritage Place Winter Mixed Sale for $32,000. He was ridden by jockey Raul R. Ramirez Jr.
He broke pretty sharp, Ramirez noted from the winner’s circle. He went to the lead pretty quick. The outside horses were coming to him but he kept on going.
