Santa Anita Stable Notes – Ed Golden – Friday, Feb 19th

  • GOOD SPORTS HEADED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS
  • SON OF ZENYATTA MAKES HIS DEBUT ON SATURDAY
  • TRIP MAKES RACE IN BUENA VISTA, SHIRREFFS SAYS

 

NYQUIST GOING TO FLORIDA, EXAGGERATOR STAYS HOME

Exaggerator image001 (10)

Keenly competitive on the track, both Doug O’Neill and Keith Desormeaux were uncommonly gracious and magnanimous after O’Neill’s unbeaten champion two-year-old colt of 2015 Nyquist defeated the Desormeaux-trained Exaggerator in Monday’s San Vicente Stakes.

Good sportsmanship aside, now each three-year-old is headed in a different direction on the Triple Crown trail.

“Goodness gracious,” Desormeaux said after Nyquist held off Exaggerator by a length and a half as the 2-5 favorite in the $200,000 San Vicente at seven furlongs. “Anybody not a believer in Nyquist now, that was an awesome race.

“To set those kinds of fractions and still finish in close to track record time for a three-year-old in February. Wow! Hats off to Nyquist.”

Said O’Neill Friday...

Free Gear At IdaBet.com; Crosbys Clam Bake upsets in Big M Open Trot; 11 favorites defeated

IdaBet.com horseplayers should know that if you play the Meadowlands and win Free Gear Exclusively at IdaBet.com!

Recent harness racing programs at The Meadowlands have been full of upsets, and Friday (February 19) evening’s 14-race card was no different.  Only three favorites proved victorious, and of the 11 non-favorites to prevail, Crosbys Clam Bake ($19.20) kicked clear authoritatively in the night’s featured $25,000 Open Handicap Trot–his second such win of the meet.
Competitive racing and healthy dividends–including a $12,520 trifecta headed by 19-1 outsider Montalbano Bi in race five–incentivized punters to wager a total of $3,201,415 on Friday (February 19) evening’s harness racing program at The Meadowlands, marking a sixth straight card with over $3 million in all-sources handle.
 
In the night’s featured event, Crosbys Clam Bake ($19.20) emerged out of traffic in mid-stretch, going away to a 2-1/4 length victory in 1:53.2.  The 6-year-old Kadabra gelding was hemmed in at the pegs by first-over challenger Opulent Yankee (Andy Miller) on the far turn as lukewarm 3-1 favorite B Yoyo (Joe Bongiorno) controlled the terms, only finding room in the final 150 yards as he wedged between the laboring pacesetter and a one-paced Uva Hanover (Tim Tetrick) before kicking clear.  Can Do (Anthony Napolitano) mounted a stand-side rally to take second, while Rock of Cashel (Brett Miller)–the middle cog in a chain reaction which forced Cash Me Out off stride–rallied off cover to take third after forced to check by Opulent Yankee just...

HAMBURG, N.Y. — It’s a good thing Buffalo Raceway’s $10,000 Open Trot is raced at an even mile because an inch longer, the result probably would have been different for the front-running Lutetium on Friday evening (Feb. 19).
Leading nearly every step of the way, Lutetium (Truman Gale) found the wire just in the nick of time to hold off the hard-charging Cold Certified (Shawn McDonough) by a nose in 2:01.0 over the sloppy track.
Lutetium ($4.60) managed to open up a 12-length advantage over Cold Certified who sat fifth after the first quarter mile. He needed every bit of that as Cold Certified, the winner of the past two Open trots, made steady forward progress through the final three panels.
In the drive to the wire, Lutetium was begging for the wire while Cold Certified launched a vicious rally in deep stretch only to come up a nostril short. Northern Bullet (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) was a mere neck behind in the blanket finish.
Owned by Colleen Girdlestone and trained by Mark Laidlaw, Lutetium (Credit Winner-Luby) has posted two victories in six seasonal starts, earning $14,750 in 2016. The 9-year-old gelding has bankrolled $371,367 lifetime.
Ronnie Wrenn Jr. tripled in his first appearance of the season at Buffalo Raceway while Jack Flanigen and Drew Monti each scored a pair of victories....

Kyle DiBenedetto 4

On Thursday afternoon Kyle Dibenedetto scored his 6000 win at Monticello Raceway, Kyle

notched the win with Simply Rockin. The son of Rockin Image made his Monticello Raceway

debut a winning one after recently competing at Northfield Park. The gelding won in wire to

wire fashion for Owner – Trainer Michael Weiner of Woodridge NY. Sent off at 1/5, he did not

disappoint the betting public as he was any easy 10 length winner in 2:01:2.

Back in November when Kyle was starting to get close to the milestone, the wins were spaced

far apart. A jubilant Dibenedetto said in the winners circle “my daughter was joking with me

when I was 15 shy of he milestone, she said Dad in the old days it would have only taken you 4 –

5 days to get 15 wins, now’s it’s takes 4 – 5 weeks!”

Kyle was welcomed to the winners cir
