Tom Seaver: D’Amato’s Colt Shows Renewed Form Back on Turf; Set to Score in Next Outing

Four year old colt for Phil D’Amato made his 2nd start this year and just the fifth of his career Saturday in a 1st level allowance race at ¾ on the turf for older runners. Off at 5/1 in a field of 7, he broke well from the rail slot and sat 2nd down the back side, just two off the speedy winner. He never did get any closer to the winner until deep stretch when he battled gamely for second, but losing that placing by a nose. His last two races have been on the dirt and he ran nowhere, but he is clearly a different horse on the turf with both of his victories on that surface. I doubt that D’Amato will ever try him again on the dirt. His dam was a multiple stakes winner and his sire, Sir Prancealot, has been red hot for the last year. Named for one of the best right handers of all time for the New York Mets, his next start will be his third off a 10 month layoff and D’Amato will find a winning spot for him.
