It’s the Journey ($5.40) won his fourth consecutive race at Laurel Park on Saturday when he won the $75,000 Challedon Stakes for 3-year olds and upward by 4 1/4 lengths under jockey Alex Cintron. Afleet Willy and Red Dragon Tattoo went out for the early lead in the Challedon, while It’s the Journey sat in a two-wide stalking position along the backstretch. Through the turn, It’s the Journey began to move comfortably for the lead, and struck the front at the top of the stretch. He pulled away from the rest of the field down the lane, and crossed the wire in 1:22.86 for seven furlongs on dirt. Rockinn On Bye rallied from well back to be second in the Challedon for the second year in a row, while Red Dragon Tattoo was third. “I let my horse run his own race,” Cintron said. “As soon as he got to the three-eighths pole, he started going by (Afleet) Willy so easily. I knew nobody was going to get me.” It’s the Journey won his fourth consecutive start and recorded his fifth win in nine starts in 2017. It was trainer Michael Trombetta’s third winner of the day. “He’s really come on good this summer and going into fall,” Trombetta said. “What a super, pleasant surprise. He’s doing it all on his own now. He’s running out of easy options, so we’ll see where he takes us.” It’s the Journey banked the $45,000 winner’s share to bring his career earnings to $216,393 for owner-breeder Larry Johnson. Shine Again Stakes In the $75,000 Shine Again Stakes for older fillies and mares, Line of Best Fit ($9.40) caught pacesetter Summer House in the final strides to win by a half-length under jockey J. D. Acosta. Line of Best Fit sat off the early pace along the backstretch, as Summer House was involved in a three-horse duel with Mamameamaria and Elusive Joni through a 22.79 second opening quarter. Summer House continued to lead the field into the stretch, fending off a number of challengers in the late going, but she couldn’t hold off Line of Best Fit, who advanced steadily from off the pace through the turn. Line of Best Fit faced traffic trouble in the stretch, but found a seam and split horses at the eighth-pole before surging by Summer House in the final sixteenth. She covered seven furlongs on dirt in 1:23.90. Lake Ponchatrain finished third, while Bombshell rallied from far back to be fourth. “I wanted to be patient, but these are some tough horses right here so I didn’t want to give her too much to do in the end,” Acosta said. “When we turned for home, I was in such a tight spot. There was a lot of traffic. The only thing I thought was just get through there and make it to the wire because there was a lot of traffic there.” The victory was Line of Best Fit’s sixth win in nine starts since joining the barn of trainer Kieron Magee in May 2016. She was making her second start in five days after losing by a nose at Timonium in an allowance Sept. 4. “She’s a racehorse,” Magee said. “She can overcome a lot.” Line of Best Fit banked the $45,000 winner’s share for owner Sheffield Stable LLC and now has earned $250,873 in her career.
