Who the Cowboy ran down Joey P to win the $75,000 Icecapade Stakes at Monmouth Park on Monday.

It was jockey Stewart Elliotts fifth winner on the card.

Whos the Cowboy covered the six furlongs over a fast main track in 1:09 2/5 and returned $21, $6.20 and $2.80.

It was a neck back to Joey P. who paid $3.20 and $2.10 and completed a $48 exacta. Maddys Lion rallied from last to third, two lengths farther back, and returned $2.60 to show.

Hes just a good honest horse, said Whos the Cowboys trainer Kevin Sleeter. He and Joey P. are two great horses and they put on quite a show today.

Mondays win was the second this season and 13th overall for Whos the Cowboy, a 6-year-old gelding. He has now earned $773,660.

Earlier in the day in the $60,000 Gilded Time Stakes, Run Sully Run came flying down the center of a firm turf course, stepping the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:01 4/5.

Run Sully Run sat fourth and last through the early stages of the race before switching to the outside and catching his rivals. He returned $7.60 and $3.40 and topped a $20 exacta.

It was a length and a half back to X Rated Cat, who finished second, but was disqualified and placed third for interference with Chitoz in the stretch. Chitoz returned $2.80 to place. There was no show wagering in the Gilded Time Stakes, which scratched down to four runners.
