High Price(Ire) Lives Up To His Name

White Stripe and Dumb Donut(GB) may have broken first, but they seemed to have forgotten the old adage that patience is a virtue. E. C. Doyle lives by that virtue every time she gets on a racehorse. It pays off more often than not, as she sits behind the pace and waits for the perfect moment to let her mount loose. The colt benefitting from her style this week was High Price(Ire), who lived up to his name as the longest shot in this race. He passed the leaders in the stretch and pulled away to a 2 length victory. His beautiful 98 speed figure suggests that High Price may soon refer to his value instead of his morning line. Big Stud rallied to get up for second, with White Stripe holding on for third. Beau’s Pegasus and Dumb Donut(GB) rounded out the field.
