Broke on top and dueled for the early lead up the backstretch then was surrounded around the far turn. He shook off both his pace rivals entering the stretch only to be run down late by a late-runner. This was off a 2 1/2 month layoff and perhaps he can find more stick with a […]
– Proved her upset win Feb 9 was not a fluke as she sat in the three path of a three horse duel up the backstretch and made a bold move to take the lead entering the turn. She drew clear entering the stretch only to be caught right on the wire by the favored […]
Didn’t break very quickly in his comebacker, but was able to press the pace once they left the chute. It then turned into a four horse duel as they entered the turn, but he took over the lead around the turn. He dueled with his main rival in the stretch, but the pair was run […]
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 […]
Raced along the rail up the backstretch while sitting behind the two frontrunners. She had to steady entering the turn and was behind a wall of horses entering the stretch. The jock moved her to the outside and she rallied well, but the winner got the jump on her entering the stretch and clear sailing […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
