A change of tactics resulted in a change of results for Prince of Jericho who won Saturday’s $100,000 Fire Plug Stakes by 2 3/4 lengths Saturday at Laurel Park. Prince of Jericho had finished second in a pair of allowance races when attempting to come from off the pace. Saturday, while breaking from the rail for the third straight time, jockey Sheldon Russell put Prince of Jericho on the front end. After dueling early with No Easy Days and then getting passed on the far turn by On the Mark, Prince of Jericho came back at the quarter pole, took control in the final furlong and won rather handily. Freeze the Fire rallied to get second by two lengths over On the Mark, who was three-quarters of a length in front of Repo Rocks. Tudox Opportunity and No Easy Days completed the order of finish. Full Irish scratched. The win was the seventh from 19 starts for Prince of Jericho, owned by Michael Dubb and Morris Bailey and trained by Brittany Russell. “He’s just a really good, classy horse,” Brittany Russell told the Maryland Jockey Club publicity. “He’s a fighter. I was glad to see him kick on. He broke good. It just worked out good from the first jump.” :: Subscribe to the DRF Post Time Email Newsletter: Get the news you need to play today's races!  Prince of Jericho, a 5-year-old son of Munnings, covered the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:18.14 and returned $4.40 to win. The Fire Plug, a potential prep for the General George Stakes in February, was one of four stakes on Saturday’s card. Ms. Bucchero takes What a Summer Ms. Bucchero doesn’t get to run as often as her connections would like, but when she does “she gives you 120 percent,” trainer and co-owner Diane Morici said. Saturday, Ms. Bucchero needed every ounce of her talent to withstand a late run from New York shipper and race favorite St. Benedict’s Prep to win the $100,000 What a Summer Stakes by a nose. It was 2 1/2 lengths back to Spencerian who nosed out Kant Hurry Love for third. The win was the eighth from 15 starts and second straight stakes triumph for Ms. Bucchero, a 5-year-old daughter of Bucchero owned by the Morici Racing Stable. The What a Summer was only the second start for Ms. Bucchero since September when she had to run in a turf stakes. On Nov. 29, she won the Willa on the Move Stakes at Laurel. “She finally got to run back, we’ve had to sit on her for a few months because races don’t go or there are no conditions,” Morici said. “She came into this race great.” Morici said Ms. Bucchero dictates how she likes to run in a race and Saturday she wanted to be on the lead. Under Xavier Perez, Ms. Bucchero set fractions of 22.66 seconds for the quarter and 46.50 for the half while being chased by Kant Hurry Love. Ms. Bucchero was three lengths clear at the eighth pole, had to hold off the late kick of the St. Benedict’s Prep. Ms. Bucchero covered the six furlongs in 1:12.25 and returned $6.40 as the second choice. “She’s just a happy filly, her and Xavier they get along great,” Morici said. “I just said break, see where she wants to be, she’ll tell you where she wants to be.” While the What a Summer could be used as a stepping-stone to next month’s Barbara Fritchie Stakes, Morici said she would not look at that race for Ms. Bucchero because it’s seven furlongs. “Six is where she needs to be,” Morici said. Quint's Brew returns with Jennings score Quint’s Brew, away from the races since June, made a successful return, running by pacesetting Speedyness in upper stretch and, despite racing greenly down the lane, drew clear to a six-length victory in the $75,000 Jennings Stakes for Maryland-bred males. Hittheroadjack nosed out Circle P for second while Speedyness faded to fourth. Quint’s Brew was making his fourth career start and first since June 29 when he finished third, but was elevated to second by the stewards in the Star de Naskra Stakes at Laurel. Off since then, Quint’s Brew came back running under Mychel Sanchez, perching himself just outside of the Speedyness before taking command in upper stretch. He flipped leads a couple of times in the stretch but was never seriously threatened. Quint’s Brew, a 4-year-old gelding by Mosler, owned by Paul Berube, Karen Linnell and Heather Hunter, and trained by Ned Allard, covered the mile in 1:37.73 and returned $20.60 to win. Quint’s Brew’s half-brother, the 6-year-old Captain Quint, finished last of nine in this field. It was Sanchez’s second win on the day as he also won the Geisha earlier on the card aboard Call Another Play. Call Another Play upsets Geisha Call Another Play, who won the Weber City Miss Stakes last April but went off form in the fall of the year, returned to the winner’s circle Saturday, registering a 15-1 upset in the $75,000 Geisha Stakes for Maryland-bred fillies and mares. Kept off the pace despite slow early fractions under Sanchez, Call Another Play saved all the ground down the backside, tipped toward the outside turning home and ran by pacesetting Royal Whisper inside the eighth pole. Call Another Play easily held favorite Oncourtcommentator at bay late, winning the Geisha by two lengths. It was 1 3/4 lengths back to Too Many Kisses in third. It was the fifth victory from 16 starts for Call Another Play, a 4-year-old daughter of Audible owned by and bred by Larry Johnson and trained by Michael Trombetta. Call Another Play was coming off an eighth-place finish in the Carousel Stakes where Sanchez felt she was too close to the pace and didn’t finish. “Today, shortening up a little bit, there was more speed, so we got the trip that we wanted,” Sanchez said in an interview broadcast on Laurel’s simulcast feed. “She definitely put it together today like she had in the past.” Call Another Play covered the mile in 1:40.19 and returned $32.60 as the second-longest price in the field.    :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
