Brendan Sullivan wins exciting Boys Mile
Port Jefferson NY junior Brendan Sullivan came from third with a rush on the backstretch of the last lap to break up a terrific duel between Charles Millioen and Tim Walker. The latter two traded the lead on almost every lap, with Sullivan hanging around in third place. "I was surprised the pace wasn't faster," said Sullivan afterwards. "I had plenty left for the kick." Brian Boyett also passed the early leaders at the finish. The winning time was just 0.12 off Tim Walker's US#1 time in the Bishop Loughlin games in December.
