CYPRESS, Calif. -- Feisty in the gate and wide throughout the race, Accelerate won his third consecutive start in Saturdays $201,035 Los Alamitos Derby, but only after surviving a six-minute inquiry into an incident in the final furlong.Accelerate finished a head in front of 3-1 Semper Fortis, who was 1-1/2 lengths clear of Blackjackcat, the 5-2 second choice. The stewards focused the inquiry on whether Blackjackcat was compromised when jockey Gary Stevens took up late when in tight quarters.Stevens also claimed foul against Semper Fortis.
