The colt divisions began
the evening with Mavens Way scoring a $37.20 upset for young Oskar Florhed
taking a nice record of 1:55.3 in the process. The son of Muscle Hill from
Doris Deo sat close up early then wore down Dominion Beach in the shadow of the
wire for the win. He is trained by Ake Svanstedt for his own interests along
with partners al & Janet Burroughs and TLP Stable.
Charlie Norris worked
out a perfect pocket trip for Cloud Nine Hanover in the next division for a
huge $54.40 upset after favored Southwind Flash broke on the final bend.
Charlie trains the son of Muscle Massive who was winning for the first time on
behalf of his wife Carrie, Acadia Farms and G&B Racing. Celebrity Express
rallied from well back for the place.
Hollywood Highway struck
a blow for favoritism winning right back for Dave Palone in a new record of
1:55.2 in the third and last colt split. He’s
another by Muscle Massive who has found his best form here on the clay for
trainer Staffan Lind. Marvin Katz and Al Goldband share the ownership.
Palone won the very next
race with Haughty, who has clearly been the class of the Kindergarten filly
races in Lexington. Jimmy Takter conditions the winner and had the second place
finisher as well in Hollywood Hill. Haughty was well within herself tonight in
a measured 1:55.4 tally. She races for the ownership group of Al Libfeld,
Marvin Katz and Sam Goldband.
Howie Okusko, Jr steered
Sweet Ashley T to yet another upset in the last of the Kindergarten races
returning $38.60 to her small legion of backers. The Conway Hall filly took a
1:56 record in the process for trainer Homer Hochstetler who owns her with South
Of The Tracks Racing.
The Kindergarten goes on
hiatus until leg five set for October 23 at Vernon Downs with the finals the
next week.
Red Mile racing resumes
on Saturday before going dark for week. The Grand Circuit kicks off on
Wednesday, September 30 racing at 7pm through Saturday, October 3 then matinee
