HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.- Lightning Tones appeared hopelessly out-classed making his stakes debut in Saturday’s $75,000 Carry Back at Gulfstream Park but benefitted from a rapid pace scenario, rallying from last to get up in the final stride to register a stunning nose decision over Khozeiress at odds of 25-1 in the seven furlong-dash for 3-year-olds. Super Chow, who was graded stakes placed here during the Championship Meet, shortened stride suddenly in late stretch and finished a disappointing third as the even money favorite. Lightning Tones was haltered for $12,500 out of a winning effort here on May 5 by owner-trainer Dan Hurtak and ran well in his first start for his new connections when finishing second against starter allowance opposition five weeks later. But even off that effort, stepping up against the likes of four time stakes winner Super Chow in the Carry Back seemed like a bit of an ambitious proposition. With Marco Meneses aboard, Lightning Tones dropped back to the rear of the field, as expected, shortly after the start and virtually lost contact with his six rivals after the opening quarter mile. Lightning Tones was still a dozen lengths behind the leader Super Chow when fanning widest, commencing his bid into the stretch before finishing full of run down the center of the course to stick his nose in front of Khozeiress at the wire. :: Bet the races on DRF Bets!

Super Chow moved swiftly to the lead and quickly drew well clear on the turn, settled into the stretch with a seemingly comfortable advantage, began to shorten stride while never switching off his left lead in the run to the wire and could not last. Swirvin ran a strange race, dropping well back after relinquishing the early lead to the favorite on the turn before making up ground with a belated rally to finish fourth, beaten just a length and one quarter by the winner, while suffering his first setback in three starts. Lightning Tones covered the distance over a fast track in 1:23.18 and paid $58.40. “I had no expectations, but I never gave up,” jockey Marco Meneses said. “There was so much speed, I just relaxed my horse and at the three-eighths [pole] he just flew.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
