OPTIMISM IS A HORSE IN THE STARTING GATE”

THE VIRGINIA RACEHORSE NETWORK

CHOOSING THE COLTS, FIGURING THE FILLIES, MONITORING THE MARES, PICKING THE PONIES, HANDICAPPING THE HORSES, EQUATING THE EQUINES - While Derby Bill and Nick consult, Cruisin’ Cool Kyle is quietly drawing off in wins.

COLONIAL TURF CUP

 

9) SAILOR’S CAP

Alan Garcia; James Toner

Will be back for the Virginia Derby.  Last 3 starts over the yielding turf.  Impressive all the same.

 

6) NISTLE’S CRUNCH

Robby Alvarado; Kenneth McPeek

Might have had the lead for only a moment.  Ran second, all the way around the track

 

3) YOUR ROUND

James Lopez; Mark Hubley

Longest shot on the board ran well late but was out of the race early.

 

2) COURT VISION

Garrett Gomez; Bill Mott

Had a clear shot after moving through traffic at the top of the lane.

 

10) ADRIANO

Edgar Prado; Bill Mott

Edgar had him in the right place but didn’t appear to like the surface.

 

5) BALTIMORE BOB

Horatio Karamanos; Carlos Garcia

Ran even with Adriano up the backstretch, moved with him on the turn but didn’t like the tight quarters at the head of the lane.

 

1) EL SULTRY SUN

Elbar Coa; John Kimmel

Moved with the eventual winner but couldn’t stayed with him out of the turn.

 

4) SPORTING ART

Javier Castellano; Christophe Clemente

Just doesn’t appear to be running as well as he was earlier this spring.

 

8) BOSS LAFITTE

Julien Lepareaux; Thomas Amoss

Would have been a larger threat if the race was pulled off the turf.

 

7) KENTUCKY BEAR

Elvis Trujillo; Reade Baker

Did his Kip D’ville impersonation early and appeared to be in good shape.  Ran the 3rd quarter in :27 and still had the lead.  No troubled trip here.
