The LEZBAYBE IS LOADED Handicap\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG> Purse: $30,000
All horses, 4 years old and up
Six and one half furlongs — Firm Turf <\/P> <\/P>
SITTIN IN A TREE G<\/B> out of the medusa barn looked to dominate this field early in the race, pulling out to a huge 3+ length lead at times. The rest of the field toiled as SITTIN IN A TREE G looked to go wire to wire.\u00a0 MADE SIMPLE(IRE) of plstable1 fame and DANZIG’S BUDDHA from vicki’s stable fought for second early but MAD SIMPLE (IRE) simpley couldn’t keep pace.<\/FONT> <\/P>
GIVELOVETHEBOOT (safbred) and DIXIE DOODLE<\/FONT> (sopark100) sat in just behind the leaders stalking the pace. RAIN BURST(kevoman3) and YOKEL ACTING(GB) (redmarilyn) meanwhile trailed and never really threatened to be a factor. GIVELOVETHEBOOT had passed DANZIG’S BUDDHA by the third call, but it still appeared that he was racing for place money as SITTIN IN TREE G still had a commanding lead.<\/FONT> <\/P>Almost out of no where however, GIVELOVETHEBOOT turned it up a gear and tracked down SITTIN IN A TREE G during the last furlong and a half. He poked his nose in front just strides before the finish line. It looked from this observer that I was watching a monumental comeback by GIVELOVETHEBOOT, but SITTIN IN A TREE G showing a true toughness that only champions have regained the lead at the wire and won by a head.\u00a0<\/FONT> <\/P>SITTIN IN THE TREE G paid 11.30 to win and the exacta with GIVELOVETHEBOOT paid 99.70. Both horses scored a huge 107, which just might propel both into graded company soon.<\/FONT> <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grand stretch run just not enough <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":109,"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-2252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2252","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\/109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2252\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
