ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Willcox Inn is two-thirds of the way to a sweep of Arlington's Mid-America Triple, and leg 2, Saturday's American Derby, was no contest.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Trainer Dan Peitz had been pointing Tajaaweed to the Arlington Handicap since last fall. His aim was true.
Tajaaweed finished strongly under James Graham and won the Grade 3, $150,000 Arlington Handicap by 1 1/2 lengths over Mister Marti Gras.
Freedoms Traveller stamped himself as the local favorite for the Grade 3, $300,000 Canadian Derby with a victory in the $50,000 Ky Alta at Northlands Park on Saturday.
Under a will-timed ride by Rafael Zenteno, Freedoms Traveller made up a 2 1/2-length deficit at the top of the stretch to edge favored Boomtown Brat by a neck in the one-mile feature. Boomtown Brat contested the early pace and held on well to finish a clear second over Call Me Later.
OCEANPORT, N.J. – Rattlesnake Bridge and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin were big winners Saturday at Monmouth Park.
The improving Rattlesnake Bridge earned an invitation to the $1 million Haskell on July 31 with his nose win over All of the Above in the $165,000 Long Branch Stakes for 3-year-olds.
MIAMI - With Zenyatta's regular rider, Mike Smith aboard and in a finish reminiscent of the champion mare herself, Sassy Image rallied from nearly 20 lengths off the lead down the center of the track to post an incredible neck decision over Musical Romance in Saturday's $350,000 Princess Rooney Handicap at Calder on Saturday.
The Grade 1 Princess Rooney was the last and easily the most exciting of the four graded stakes on Calder's marquee event, the Summit of Speed.
ELMONT, N.Y. – Gio Ponti was denied an unprecedented third straight victory in the Grade 1, $600,000 Man o’ War Stakes by the Irish invader Cape Blanco, who took over from the pacesetting Mission Approved in midstretch and drew clear to a 2 1/4-length victory Saturday at Belmont Park.
MIAMI - A year ago, Bisnath Parboo was a relatively unknown trainer struggling to make it on the New York circuit with fewer than career 15 winners on his résumé. Now, Parboo could be headed to the Breeders' Cup after his Giant Ryan rallied to a neck victory over Irrefutable in the $350,000 Smile Sprint Handicap, a Breeders' Cup Challenge event for the BC Sprint.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Fantasia and Wasted Tears both stretched out from middle-distance races to try the 1 3/16-mile, Grade 3 Modesty Handicap on Saturday at Arlington. Fantasia liked the added ground. Wasted Tears, not so much.
