In a slashing effort in this week\u2019s Salty<\/I> Boundary Bonanza<\/I>, Army of One<\/B>, in his first appearance in a black type event, left no doubt that stakes racing is what he\u2019s all about, and that he\u2019s going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. After jumping cleanly, Army of One<\/B> settled in the perfect position, traveling in fourth place and sitting comfortably on the fence a couple of lengths behind the leader. Asked for his effort approaching the turn, the talented four year old made his move, putting the race beyond doubt within a couple of strides. He was untroubled in the latter stages, cruising to the line a comfortable three length victor. <\/P>
Dashing Dooter<\/B> displayed a welcome return to form in running second. Living up to his name, he dashed to the front as the gates opened, setting up a comfortable lead and outclassing all but the winner who took every advantage of the smart pace set. Connections must be relieved, and he leaves the course today well on the comeback trail.<\/P> Harbor Patrol T<\/B> settled back in the field early, and outplugged the rest of the field, taking the minor money some five lengths in arrears of the second horse<\/P> Hawkbone<\/B> and K\u2019Aguaitakamino<\/B> took the minor checks, both working home solidly<\/P> Clue in Dare T<\/B> and Alylado<\/B> took forward positions early, but had their hearts broken by the pacemaker, and weakened in the run home.<\/P> All Indy<\/B> was up there early, but had nothing when asked for an effort<\/P> Internal Fire<\/B> and Born in a Barn<\/B> were both disappointing, never getting into the race <\/P> Army of One<\/B> is a superbly bred individual, carrying Forty<\/I> Niner \/ Storm Cat<\/I> lines, and is raced by his breeder. He covered the 7.5 furlongs in 1.28.4, returning a speed figure of 108. He now has 6 wins from 14, and no doubt many more to come. This win increases his lifetime earnings to more than $200,000. <\/P> Army of One<\/B> is the fourth stakeswinner currently stabled in the very successful jonsnow<\/B> barn, sharing black type glory with Stronghold, Street Sweeper <\/B>and Mine Me. <\/B>A fifth runner in the stable populated primarily by four year olds, Cuchulain\u2019s Stand<\/B>, has 2 Graded and 1 stakes ITM. The barn has an enviable strike rate, with 41 of its185 lifetime starters being victorious. With horses of this caliber, the run must continue.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Army of One invades Montana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":261,"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-1746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1746","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\/261"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1746\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
