Woodbine Mohawk Park: Somebeachsometime turns heads in Whenuwishuponastar

Somebeachsometime stormed by rivals in the stretch to win Tuesday’s second leg of the Whenuwishuponastar Series at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The 2-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere paced home in 26 3/5, part of a 53 3/5 back-half, to come from sixth for the stunning victory in the second leg of the three-week event.

Driven by Jody Jamieson, Somebeachsometime got away last in the field of seventh and remained in that position at the midway point. Even-money choice Caviart Jane moved to the top from third in the second quarter and led the field by the half in 56.

Caviart Jane paced a solid 28 1/51 third quarter to lead the field into the stretch. Meanwhile, Jamieson moved to the outside approaching three-quarters to sit just over seven-lengths from the top.

The stretch drive saw Caviart Jane hold a clear lead at the eighth-pole, but the far outside saw a pair of fillies charging. Lady Lou, who was second-over and five lengths off at three-quarters, was making up ground late, but Somebeachsometime was storming up just a bit quicker.

Caviart Jane surrendered the lead late and watched Somebeachsometime prevail by a head over Lady Lou in 1:52 1/5. Libspeak finished fourth.

Trained by Dave Menary, Somebeachsometime was a $65,000 Harrisburg Yearling Sale purchase and is the first foal out of Well Said mare Talk Time. She finished fourth in her debut last week, pacing home in 26 and now has a victory and $8,700 earned for owners Menary Racing Inc, Michael Guerriero, Kenneth Ewen and Bruce Norris.

A $2 win ticket on Somebeachsometime returned $4.80.

Round one winners Alexa Skye and Reflect With Me did not compete in the second leg. The $50,000 series final will take place next Tuesday (August 13).

Live racing resumes Thursday evening at Mohawk Park. Post time is 7:10 p.m.
