Took the worst of the four horse speed duel up the backstretch as he was in the four path. Jock went to the whip around the turn and he took the lead entering the stretch. However, he understandably couldn’t hold off the winner along the rail late in what was a game performance. Next Upcoming […]
Set the pace along the rail and did win the pace battle as they entered the stretch. However, he looked like he was dead in the water in midstretch, but he fought on gamely to hold 2nd behind the popular winner. The soph seems to be improving with racing. Next Upcoming Race: East […]
Second-timer from Turfway was off the screen around the far turn, but he started his rally just before entering the stretch. He was really moving well in the stretch especially when he moved to the faster outside and he just got up for 2nd. Was it the mud, experience, switch to the dirt that made […]
May have been long gone on a normal day or fairer track while on the lead, but he was racing along the slower inside in the stretch and did hold well to be beaten about one length. He finished in the Exacta in his previous three starts and he could show more stick next time […]
Yet another frontrunner that raced on the slower inside only to be run down by the outside closers in the stretch. The gelding really did fight on bravely in the stretch and was only passed with about 6-7 strides before the wire. A fairer track could help him show more stick in his next start. […]
Was asked a tough question for start #2 as he moved to a Stakes and was a first time router. However, he didn’t embarrass himself. He settled in midpack early and made a middle move just before the turn to be within striking range along the rail. The jock had a chance to move to […]
Broke well, but was outrun for the lead by three others to her inside and she found herself in a different pace scenario than usual as she was in midpack up the backstretch. The filly was near the back at the top of the stretch as the frontrunner began to throw in the towel. She […]
Looked like a winner around the turn as he ranged up to the leaders and challenged the Lone ‘F’ entering the stretch. However, he couldn’t match strides with his rival in deep stretch, but held on well to finish 2nd. With a better pace scenario, he could prove tough to beat next time out. Next […]
Had an eventful trip and did pretty well to finish 4th. He stumbled and was bumped out of the gate, but was able to keep up behind the leaders up the backstretch while sitting along the rail. The soph then had to steady around the turn when trying to make a run on the rail […]
On a day where early speed did really well, this mare had little chance after a slow start where she was at the back of the pack early. She also didn’t seem to enjoy the kick back up the backstretch. The mare made a run around the turn, but flattened out late in a race […]
