Received a questionable ride as she broke outward but fast and the jock seemed to insist that someone else take the lead. Eventual winner Frost Point did take the lead leaving the chute and it’s not like they were going fast early. Look for a rider switch and/or more aggressive ride on Falconet and maybe […]
Was pretty brave to finish 3rd in what not an ideal stretch run. The gelding raced on along the rail early and was in the second flight entering the stretch. The leaders began to tire and the jock took him to the rail while he was able to squeeze thru a tight opening in midstretch. […]
While the outside is usually the faster part of the track, it is tough as a frontrunner to win with a five wide trip even with no pace pressure. This gelding has now set the pace in his last four dirt routes and the best he could finish was 3rd as he did today. He […]
Is usually a deep closer, but may have been more forwardly-placed due to today’s sloppy conditions. He held his own, though, as he had to steady slightly while trying to make his rally entering the stretch and that likely cost him all of his momentum. Afterwards, he basically raced evenly down the stretch. Should the […]
Had a pretty rough trip from the start as she broke a bit slow then had to steer around runners while steadying repeatedly until entering the turn. From there, she was just never a factor and this may be a race to just toss out. She did have her best finish in her lone start […]
Had to chase a fast pace early and was shuffled back to last up the backstretch. Jock had to steer her clear of trouble around the turn and she made a nice little run when she found clear sailing. However, the filly was too far back to threaten for the win, but did run well […]
Not a bad debut as she broke on top and raced outside of a three horse duel up the backstretch. She made a run for the lead entering the stretch, but tired in the late stages to finish midpack. Conditioning can only help this filly and she might not stop next time out. Next Upcoming […]
Three year old colt for Neil Drysdale made her debut on Sunday at ¾ on the turf in a maiden special weight event. Off at 7/1 in a field of 10, she was void of any early speed and was last down the back side, 9 lengths off the pace. Aguilar kept her on the […]
Three year old filly for Jeff Mullins tried the Sweet Life stakes on Saturday at six and a half down the hill for soph fillies. Off at 17/1 in a field of 11, she broke a step slow under Berrios and was last early. The jock kept her on the fence throughout, found a seam […]
Another D’Amato veteran here, a six year old gelding off since November, and recently transferred into this barn, faced 7 in a 1st allowance condition at a mile on the grass Saturday. Off at 11/1, he broke well under Dettori and sat 4th into the clubhouse turn just 3 back of the leaders. The jock […]
