Bernie Flint has two bargains in Bashford Manor
Power World is an interesting horse. Though he did not get an impressive Beyer figure (60, though his BRIS number was 83), the son of Distorted Humor had an extremely impressive-looking victory in his only start June 11. Power World was bumped hard and pinched back to last in the field of eight, then closed from 11 lengths back to win at 4½ furlongs.Winning At Maiden Races - News
The son of Exchange Rate then won a June 9 maiden race by 4½ lengths to be the 4-1 second choice in today's six-furlong stakes. Bonaparte, a well-muscled son of 1997 Belmont Stakes winner Touch Gold, won his only start by 5¼ lengths on May 30.
"I dream of winning big races like Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Amstel or Fleche Wallonne, but to win here on the Tour de France is also something very special," said Gilbert, who won all three races, known as the Ardennes classics, earlier this year.
In the third race, My Last Tycoon is out of a six-furlong claimer on turf. In the seventh race, Laser Rocket is out of a maiden race for statebreds over six furlongs. The pick six covers the fifth through 10th races.
Skipton Creek ($24) won by a head, finishing 1 1-16 miles on turf in 1:42.88 in the allowance race for 3-year-old fillies. Artuya held third. Skipton Creek, trained by Neil Drysdale, has won two consecutive races, having won a maiden race at Golden
Worthington backed up the sizeable Beyer Figure he earned winning his maiden earlier this month with a dominant stakes score Saturday in the $50000 Minstrel for 2-year-olds at Louisiana Downs. The race shared a card with the $50000
Futurity looks like right spot for Tarpy's Goal | Minute of Meeting
ELMONT, N.Y. — The late decision to run Tarpy’s Goal in Sunday’s Grade 2 Futurity at Belmont Park rather than Saturday’s Grade 3 Bashford Manor at Churchill Downs came down to simple mathematics, according to trainer Dale Romans.
“The race here is $100,000, Grade 3 with 11 horses where he’s going to be 8-1, 10-1,” Romans said Friday morning from Churchill Downs. “The race there is $150,000, Grade 2 with six horses where he’s going to be 3-1, that’s a pretty easy decision. It’s all about the math.”
Tarpy’s Goal, a debut winner at Churchill, arrived here Friday by van and figures to be first or second choice in the Futurity, which drew a modest field of six, none of whom has raced in New York. The Futurity, and its female counterpart the Grade 2, $150,000 Matron, were brought back by the New York Racing Association after being put on a one-year hiatus. They were moved from the fall to the summer in hopes of stimulating activity in New York’s juvenile program, a good-intentioned idea that did not bear fruit.
The Futurity field includes horses who won maiden races at Monmouth, Delaware, Pimlico, and of course Churchill, where Tarpy’s Goal overcame a slow start to win his debut by 2 3/4 lengths despite racing a little erratically in the stretch.
“He’s a talented horse — he always acted like the type of horse that could win first time,” Romans said. “He ran the way we expected him too. He’s got a little class about him.”
Javier Castellano, the leading rider at this meet, has the call from post 5.
Tarpy’s Goal will likely have to catch Getupwiththesun, who comes off an 8 1/4-length victory in a May 12 maiden race at Pimlico. That came in his second start after he finished second to Threeanddonedan, who is also in this field.
Getupwiththesun broke outwardly in both of his starts, and he has the outside post again Sunday.
“Both times he ran he broke outward. First time dramatically, second time not as dramatic,” said trainer Robert Leaf, who is making his New York debut. “Both times there was a horse on the outside of him. I think he broke toward the horse, I don’t think he broke away from a horse. I think with no horse on the outside of him, he’ll break straight.”
Threeanddonedan returns to dirt after finishing fourth in the Victoria Stakes over Woodbine’s synthetic surface two weeks ago. Team Six overcame a slow beginning to win his debut at Monmouth Park on June 18, racing three wide down the backside and then repelling a challenge at the quarter pole. He picks up the services of John Velazquez.
