ALBANY, Calif. Tribesman ($9.80), a rapidly improving 3-year-old, defeated older horses in his stakes debut, running the fastest six furlongs of the meeting to win the $75,000 Sausalito Stakes at Golden Gate Fields on Friday.
Relato Del Gato broke sharply and was challenged immediately by Barber, but Tribesman bulled between the two to stick his head in front at the half-mile pole. He began to pull clear on the turn and maintained a comfortable advantage over Barber through the stretch, winning by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:08.32. The fractions were a sizzling 21.51, 43.50 and 55.40.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Displaying a new and more versatile style, Lang Field pulled an 18-1 upset in Fridays $400,000 Citation Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Instead of leading early, as he did in three consecutive wins in allowance races earlier this year, Lang Field stalked pacesetters Willow O Wisp and Silent Name until the turn, took the lead in the final furlong and held off a late run from Zann to win by a neck.
Lang Field ($39.60) ran 1 1/16 miles on turf in a quick 1:39.72.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - A trio of stakes wins across the nation on Friday, ending with The Leopard's victory in the $111,800 Generous Stakes at Hollywood Park, gave trainer Todd Pletcher a single-season North American earnings record of $26,850,873.
With five weeks left in the year, and the stable operating in California, Florida, and New York, Pletcher is likely to go well past the previous mark of $26,820,243, set in 2006.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - When it comes to his undefeated New York-bred juvenile Giant Moon, trainer Richard Schosberg believes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
While Giant Moon has not contracted the upper respiratory virus that most of Schosberg's young horses have gotten, Schosberg elected not to enter Giant Moon in Saturday's $200,000 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct. Instead, Schosberg will point Giant Moon to the $75,000 Damon Runyon Stakes for New York-breds over the inner track on Dec. 9.
NEW ORLEANS - Jockey Miguel Mena made a timely shift in venue from Chicago to Kentucky about 15 months ago, and so far, his move to Fair Grounds is working out well enough.
Mena, 21, has been riding the early Fair Grounds entrants for trainer Steve Asmussen, who put Mena on a stakes winner opening day. Stormin Baghdad, with Mena turning in a solid tactical effort, won the Thanksgiving Handicap by a neck here on Thursday.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Eibar Coa is living the good life these days.
One day after his mount won the Fall Highweight Handicap by a head, Coa was again on the right side of a photograph, getting Mini Sermon up by a head over a stubborn Lady Marlboro in Friday's Grade 2, $150,000 Top Flight Handicap at Aqueduct. It was another 2 1/4 lengths back to Golden Velvet, the 2-1 favorite, in third.
Cindy's Mom finished fourth and was followed by Altesse, Pool Land, Lost Etiquette, and Baby Bird.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Todd Pletcher sent out three horses Friday in the 133rd running of the Grade 2 Clark Handicap, and two of them ran okay. The third, A.P. Arrow, raced to the greatest victory of his career when he turned back Brass Hat for a three-quarter-length win in the signature race of the Churchill Downs fall meet.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Jockey Rafael Bejarano has gotten the hang of making favorable first impressions in California.
On Santa Anita Derby Day in April 2006, Bejarano won six races, one short of the track record held by Laffit Pincay Jr., and finished second in the Santa Anita Derby aboard Point Determined.
The Polytrack honeymoon ended abruptly last February at Turfway Park with several cancellations at the Florence, Ky., track. Although track president Bob Elliston said only one cancellation was attributable to the racing surface, some jockeys said the track was unsuitable for racing during a span of several weeks when weather conditions were nasty.
Elliston doesn't think a similar problem will occur during the Turfway meet that begins Sunday.
