Did you see 2-year-old filly ONE HOT WISH Thursday at Keeneland? In probably the most impressive debut race by a juvenile that I’ve ever seen, the Wesley Ward-trained filly crushed her opposition while running a world record :48.87 for 4 1/2 furlongs. She shot out of the gate quickly, got loose through an opening quarter in :21.3, opened up many while going the half-mile in 43 flat, then extended through the lane while running her final 1/16th in :05.4. The Cal-bred by Bring the Heat will be sold Tuesday in the 2-year-old in training sale at Keeneland. How much will she bring?
Yesterday at Santa Anita: Two wins by Smokin Joe Talamo…trainer Ben Cecil has had a very nice meet and got another win when AINAMAA dominted turf maidens in race 5…SEEKING ANSWERS split horses and was an impressive winner of the 7th race. How come he couldn’t punch it in like that last time when I had him “singled” on Pick 4 ticket (Mar. 17) that had winners paying $19 and $47?
On Wednesday: Two wins for Victor Espinoza and two more for Michael Baze, who has been on a terrific role since joining forces with agent Nick Casato six weeks ago. Listening to these two talk about each other makes you believe they are going to have a long and productive relationship…congratulations to Peter Lurey and Black Diamond Racing partners, who got off the schneid at this meet when recent claim ROCKELLA stepped up two levels and proved a handy winner in the 6th. She was taken by Jerry Hollendorfer, who figures to leave her down here since she has shown an affinity for the Cushion Track at HP…nice U.S. debut win by YARIO coming down the hill (4th race) for trainer Eoin Harty.
Into Friday’s’ card, three still alive in the ShowVivor II contest.
