Vernon, N.Y. – Eugene Landy’s Let’s Foal
Around ($17.80) earned his second win in as many starts for trainer-driver
Harry Landy, pushing to the fore in the last 70 yards of Saturday (September
10) evening’s $9,100 top-level Miracle Mile pacing event at Vernon Downs.
The 5-year-old Admirals Galley gelding
tracked a hot early pace, ceding early command to odds-on favorite Major War
(Truman Gale) through a blistering :25.2 first quarter while All Stienam (John
MacDonald) tracked from the pocket. Let’s Foal Around enjoyed a clear stalking
journey through middle splits of :55 and 1:22.3 before edging off the pegs on
approach to the top of the stretch. Let’s Foal Around made steady gains the
length of the stretch under strong encouragement, sustaining his progress while
carried three-wide by pocket rival All Stienam en route to a 1:50.2 score. In
the end, Let’s Foal Around earned his 16th career win by a length
over All Stienam, while Major War was a worn-down third.
Live racing returns to the Miracle Mile
on Thursday (September 15) evening, with the first of nine races due off at
6:45 p.m. Eastern.
