Saturday’s two year olds
began with two very impressive trotting colts both winning in 1:57.1 from
different angles.
Nuncio, an Andover Hall colt from the Jim Oscarsson barn, away close and then shuffled, rolled by under no urging from young Kevin Oscarsson to win impressively to win the first. The second saw Southwind Spirit lead all the way to win by open lengths for Yannick Gingras with a 27.4 close to his mile. This Muscle Hill is from the Burke barn, owned in partnership with Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Stable 45.
Derby won the third after an up close trip for Ray
Schnittker in 1:59-. This Deweycheatumnhowe colt is owned by Ray with Kelk’s
Inc, Ted Gewertz and the breeder, Jeff Gural’s Little E LLC.
The highest price trotting yearling sold last fall, a
Muscle Hill colt named Trixton, won this morning in 1:59.2. Gingras held him
third behind a gapper and closed up nicely to get the win. He is from the
Takter barn and is owned by Brixton Medical and Christina Takter.
Shake It Cerry won for the third time in these morning
sessions and she looks like something special. Today’s romp was a front end
tour for Ron Pierce in 1:56.4 / 27.4 with the greatest of ease. Another Takter
pupil, she is owned by her breeder, Solveig’s Racing Partners.
Pacers began in race 10 and Avalanche Hanover was an
impressive 1:57.1 / 27.2 winner in his first outing for Tim Tetrick and Linda
Toscano. He is a Somebeachsomewhere colt that required only one bid by Myron
Bell to secure him for Brittany Farms, Katz, Libfeld & Goldband, Sbrocco
and Little E LLC; granted the amount of that single bid was $200,000.
Tetrick and Toscano came right back with the filly JK
Molly, an Art Major filly who finished her 1:56- mile in 27.3. She’s owned by
the 3 Brothers Stables.
Put On A Display charged home from well back for Tetrick
to win in 1:58.3 for the Put On A Show connections of trainer Chris Ryder and
owners Richard and Joanne Young. She’s a $175,000 Somebeach filly from the
Lexington Select Yearling Sale.
Ideal
Magic zipped to an effortless 1:53.3 win for Tetrick and Tony Alagna. He’s an
impressive American Ideal colt owned by Cheap Speed Stable, Joe Sbrocco, Eagles
Soar Partners and Louis Willinger.
Tellitlikeitis is the Well Said from Kikikatie, who has
thrown nothing but fast horses, and this colt is no exception. He was a geared
down 1:53.3 winner for Yannick, never asked for speed. Takter trains for
Lothlorien.
West Matters romped in
the finale for Andy Miller in 1:53.4. He's owned by Andy and Omer Miller and
Julie Miller is the trainer.
