Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip. However, he was steered to the outside entering the stretch and rallied well to finish 2nd behind a runaway winner. The gelding must not like the kickback and […]
Second-timer didn’t break fast, but did get away cleanly and found herself behind the two leaders while on the rail as they left the chute. The filly wanted to go, but she was wrangled back by her jock up the backstretch and was alone around the turn behind three runners who were well clear. She […]
Had a wide trip throughout when the inside seemed to be the faster part of the track . He made his bid around the far turn while still in the three-path and was able to gain ground to finish 3rd. A fairer track and a better trip can only help in his next start. Next […]
A gelding who was awful in his last two starts may have been the winner in this affair if not for a wide-throughout trip over a track that favored the inside. He did show his usual early speed as a four horse duel developed as they left the chute and he was in the five-path […]
A late-runner who was caught wide up the backstretch and in the stretch, she made a nice rally while widest of the top five finishers and she was able to get up for 3rd. The soph seems to be improving and maybe she will enjoy the route game. Next Upcoming Race: December 29, 2024 Aqueduct […]
This win machine from the softer circuits didn’t embarrass herself in this Stakes event as she sat behind the four horse duel up the backstretch. She was behind a wall of runners entering the stretch, but did find clear sailing soon after and rallied on the slower outside. The filly does have a tendency to […]
Comebacker may have been prepping in this sprint as both of her wins have been routes. She was asked for early speed and was hustled out aggressively by her jock. The filly was able to set the pace with three other runners pressing her up the backstretch, but she was caught entering the stretch and […]
A change of tactics were used here as the filly sat in midpack early. Her jock is not exactly the strongest of riders, but she did well to run on late to finish 3rd and maybe she is best as a laterunner. If so, then maybe she can graduate in her next start especially with […]
The Jones barn often places their runners in tough spots, but this gelding did have a legit chance today. He tracked the pace along the rail up the backstretch and around the turn. However, he was stuck behind a wall of horses as they entered the stretch and had to be reined back by the […]
On a day where passing horses in the stretch was pretty tough, this guy found himself in the back of the pack early. He started to pick off runners entering the turn and just did get up for 2nd while no match for the winner. A fairer track and a better placing early might help […]
