KOBE’S BACK RALLIES FROM FAR BACK TO WIN GRADE II, $200,000 PALOS VERDES STAKES

BY A HALF LENGTH; STEVENS & EURTON TEAM FOR SIX FURLONG WIN IN 1:08.70

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 7, 2016)—Idle since running seventh in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint Oct. 31 and fitted with blinkers by trainer Peter Eurton, Kobe’s Back rallied from far back under Gary Stevens to take Sunday’s Grade II, $200,000 Palos Verdes Stakes by a half length while covering six furlongs in 1:08.70.

As is his custom, Kobe’s Back, who broke from the rail in a field of five older horses, was away slowly but was in high gear while four-wide turning for home, about nine lengths off the lead.

“Gary said the blinkers did make a difference,” said Eurton, who trained “Kobe” in his last eight starts.  “They probably need a little more cup to them.  He tends to focus on the handlers in the gate…He tends to forget about the front part of the gate when it opens, so we’re going to add just a little more shade to them.”

When asked if he was concerned about being so far back early, Eurton responded, “I know him, so we’re used to it.  Six furlongs is just a little short…I never felt he was completely out of it, knowing...

Royal Max – Pompano

Pompano Beach, FL.February 9, 2016.Royal Max, driven by George Napolitano, Jr., justified the 4 to 5 tote-board confidence of the betting crowd by scoring a handy 1:54.1 victory in Pompano Park’s $15,000 Open Handicap Trot on Tuesday night.

The lightly raced five year-old gelded son of RC Royalty, trained by Chris Oakes for owner Albert Crawford, brushed up strongly from his seven post to take command prior to the hot :26.4 opener then proceeded to post fractions of :56.1 and 1:24.2 in route to a victory measuring 2 ¾ lengths over the late surging Winding Hill, handled by John MacDonald.

She’s All In, prominent in the garden spot all the way, wound up third for Rick Plano while Sailer Eddie finished fourth, nine lengths away from the winner. My Revenuer, assigned the outside post off of two straight wins in the company, rallied to pick up the nickel.

In a post-race interview, driver George Napolitano related, “Ya know, he was really good last week off of only one qualifier and I told...
