Buzzbringsthebeers to Illinois

He won as a short priced favorite would be expected to, silencing forever the cynics who doubted his ability to maintain his run over the thirteen furlongs. Buzzbringsthebeers had the punters heading to the bar in celebration after demolishing the opposition, without creating any heart palpitations for those who had taken the short price. .

King Record won the jump impressively from the two gate and quickly set up a clear gap. The remainder of the field jumped as one and raced in a line for the first furlong, before Grave Point Made moved into a clear second. Lara’s Saintly, Mudstone, Buzzbringthebeers, Blarney’s Gift and Dela Groom T made up the order in the run, with very little between them at the first call.

The feild remained unchanged until the half way, although the gaps had widened a bit. King Record holding a five length lead when the opposition began to move. Grave Point Made was first to step on the gas, and it was soon clear that he had the leader covered. Lara’s Saintly was making  good ground, but it was Buzzbringsthebeers causing the buzz amongst the crowd, as he was stylishly closing the eight lengths he had give up during the early stages of the event.

Rounding the turn, and Grave Point Made had hit the lead, with just the one challenger threatening. As soon as they straightened, D. McCants gave Buzz a gently nudge, and the race was quickly put beyond doubt. Buzzbringsthebeers cruised home to victory by three and a quarter from a gallant Grave Point Made.

Lara’s Saintly had run an even race for third without ever looking a winning chance, while the remained of the field toiled in a group ten lengths back

Dela Groom T and King Record took the minor spoils, just ahead of Blarney’s Gift and Mudstone
