Betting favorite Best Of The Sun(IRE<\/STRONG>) blazed through the fog, in\u00a0Psycho Clown<\/EM>\u00a0 tradition, in a\u00a0wire to wire effort to take The Psycho Clown Stakes Bananza. The 4yr old\u00a0sunline stables<\/U> trained colt broke sharply from mid-gate\u00a0and was never headed in his run of 1:41 3\/5 seconds. Leading throughout, he\u00a0held a 5\u00a0& 1\/2 length lead at the head of the stretch. Jockey B. Scott had enough horse to hold off a late closing charge from colonelbr2 stable’s<\/EM> Allen N. Iverson<\/STRONG>. After picking up a fading Call Of The Canyon<\/STRONG>, Allen N. Iverson closed to within 1 & 3\/4 lengths of the pace setter\u00a0and had to settle for place. <\/P> \u00a0\u00a0 Near the jock’s dressing room, I overheard the befuddled Allen N. Iverson’s rider saying to the trainer and owners..”I just don’t understand what happened, he was all out in the turn”\u00a0he stated while shaking his head, waving\u00a0and\u00a0pleading with his hands..”we had the\u00a07 horse cold..the pace had him played out,\u00a0when we passed Call Of The Canyon,\u00a0Allen was in full run…we were gaining ground and would have picked up Best Of The Sun(IRE) at the 1\/16 pole” the jock proclaimed..then continued..\u00a0“but\u00a0Allen paused..and stepped\u00a0in,\u00a0as if there was something going by and moved in front of us. A second later, he dug in and went back to a full run..whatever happened ..it cost us the race”..After hearing this explaination, I went back through the clubhouse to trackside and looked at the tote board. It still regestered the time of 1:41 & 3\/5 seconds…5-7-8..official. A piece of paper blew in front of me and settled at my feet. When I looked down I saw the BTB heading Psycho Clown Myth, I thought of Charlie Bates and his story\u00a0and smiled.\u00a0My gaze returned to the tote board and for an instant, just before the board went dark,\u00a0I though I saw 1:40 & 2..12-5-7 official. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Best Of The Sun(IRE) Burns Through Fog In 1:41 & 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
