Recap of the Claiming Crown in Louisiana<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I gave you the cold exacta in the Cinderella, dudes. \u00a0THE IN CROWD<\/b> over favorite BLACK DIAMOND STAR<\/b>! \u00a0The new trainer of the latter of the claim, eternity, decided to send her early, and she did battle with pacesetter HAPPY TIME<\/b>. That left an opening for the winner to pull through and win in a mild upset.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Green with Envy, DIESIS LEGACY<\/b> dawdled along almost twenty lengths in arrears, with only YOU ARE PLEASANT<\/b> in his neighborhood. \u00a0But when the real running began well past the twelve furlong mark, DIESIS LEGACY<\/b> kicked into gear and put them all away rather easily. \u00a0YOU ARE PLEASANT<\/b> followed his charge home, and GREYHUNT R.<\/b> stayed on reasonably after setting the pace to keep third.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bernardini product HARD TO TELL<\/b> took the Long John Silver, satisfying the betting public. \u00a0He didn’t need to equal the best of his recent career to win, running just a 97 with a blazing late charge. \u00a0I had tabbed 38-1 longshot MR. CADET<\/b> for the show, but instead he ran the race of his life from the outside post to $277 exacta. \u00a0Distance specialist I BEN SUCKERED<\/b> checked in third.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Showstopper Division 1, MICHAEL CRICHTON<\/b> followed DIGNIFIED ROBOT<\/b> all the way around the track, and even third place runner WHISTLING SPIRIT<\/b> never deviated from that position the entire nine furlongs. \u00a0DIGNIFIED ROBOT<\/b> posted a juicy 107 speed in his win.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Division 2 went to OZZZY DAZZLER<\/b>, as the only sophomore in the field showed his last out win was no fluke, even off the claim. \u00a0EXBOURNE’S COURT<\/b> couldn’t hold off the winner, but did just outfinish late-moving OLD PRO PRADO<\/b> for the place.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was NOYES NO NO<\/b>‘s turn to step up in the Ruby Tuesday, posting a career-high 103 speed. \u00a0Rowdster had LAZY BARB<\/b> laying back early in his first race in that barn, and he put in his usual quality performance to take second. \u00a0Longshot RATTLE THE SABRE<\/b> held on for third.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SPEED DAEMON<\/b> defied her name to give Trotter201 a win in the Grass Gown, sweeping by GIVE HER A SHOT<\/b> and BARB’S SOPPRESETTA<\/b>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Favored MICHIGAN <\/b>turned in another impressive performance to win the Get Going Fast over COSTA ME CREDITS<\/b>. \u00a0PLANET BEATER<\/b> outran his odds in the pacemaking style to secure the show spot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Midnight Express first division, I’D BE LION<\/b> stayed enough off the pace to put away BELIEVE N MUSIC<\/b> at the top of the stretch and draw away. \u00a0FANTASTIC SPECIAL<\/b> split those two late to finish second.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the next division, MY PROJECTS<\/b> parlayed an allowance win in his last out into a Claiming Crown title. \u00a0He and HEAD N OUT <\/b>came thrillingly through the pack late to finish one-two.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Favorite MIRA MESA<\/b> couldn’t respond when needed in the Steel Horse, so it was the senior horse in the race, STRONG RIVER<\/b>, who won a three-way photo with pacesetter FINDING FAULT<\/b> and deep closing DIAMOND SHIELD<\/b>.<\/div>\n
