Unhindered, campaigned in partnership by longtime Chicago news anchor Ron Magers, put together a strong worktab, both on the farm and over this track, where she drilled a best-of-17 three furlongs from the gate in :35 flat May 29. Sent off right at her morning-line odds of 5-2, the grey filly was hustled away from...
Queen Nefertiti was let go at 20-1 as the apparent second string for trainer David Wachman, but made a mockery of those odds with a stunning debut performance in a race in which her dam Chintz also made a successful debut six years ago. Stalking the leaders while trapped wide early after exiting neatly from...
Rock Fall was bet into 55 cents on the dollar to show that a 9 1/4-length maiden-breaker in an off-the-turfer at Belmont May 11 was no fluke, and he did just that. He entered the latter test with a little something to prove after failing to lift a hoof and finishing a distant eighth in...
A veteran of three sales in her brief career, Unbridled Reward was bought back on a bid of $27,000 as a Keeneland November yearling, but had improved to the point where she fetched $95,000 from the Eisaman Equine braintrust at the Keeneland September sale 10 months later. Their hunch about the filly proved correct, as...
Bay of Plenty made it two wins in a row with a devastatingly easy victory at Belmont Park Wednesday. The dark bay colt was soon at the head of affairs, was always in control through fractions of :22.76 and :45.29 and pulled clear effortlessly in the stretch to win by 9 1/4 lengths as the...
Suzy Malibu showed back-to-back bullet works leading up to this, and while she didn't exhibit much speed early here, she showed plenty of late kick. The 6-1 chance was a step or two slow from the gate, and took up a spot in second-to-last early while saving ground behind a solid pace. Shuffled back to...
Nolohay had scored with authority on debut over a mile here at the start of November and was sent off the 16-5 second favorite before leading throughout the early stages and being passed by the outsider Allegro Forte (Fr) (Zambezi Sun {GB}). In control from the quarter pole, the €62,000 ARQAUG yearling was hand ridden to seal the issue...
La Madrina followed in her big brother GI Haskell Invitational S. hero and “TDN Rising Star” Verrazano (More Than Ready)'s footsteps today with an ultra impressive debut graduation. Displaying a very speedy worktab at Payson Park and with leading rider Javier Castellano at the controls, the well built gray was sent off at 9-2 in...
Favorite Tale ran like a 1-9 shot should, taking his record to three-for-three and stamping himself as a potential major force in the sophomore sprinting division. A two-length victor on debut here Jan. 4, the bay took a track-and-trip state-bred allowance by 1 1/2 lengths Feb. 8, good for a 91 Beyer Speed Figure. He...
Mufajaah–a $375,000 KEESEP yearling graduate–rallied to finish an encouraging third after blowing the break in her six-furlong Oaklawn debut Feb. 13. She broke through with a sharp 4 1/2-length maiden win at that distance at second asking Feb. 28 and was heavily favored at 3-5 while making her two-turn debut here. Bumped at the start,...
