Good to see that I can still jinx a race!<\/P>
The gauntlet was flung down in the first steps of last Saturday’s GIII Jockey Guild Stakes<\/EM>: the gates swung open and four fillies bolted to the lead.\u00a0 Moon Queen(SAF)<\/STRONG> maintained a narrow lead over Little Ghost<\/STRONG>, K’s Stand Tall<\/STRONG>, and Golden Tale<\/STRONG>, with favored Baldo Hollandia<\/STRONG> stalking in fifth., but the fractions were sizzling and no one was giving up.<\/P> Golden Tale made her move around the turn, getting first jump on the rest as Moon Queen and Little Ghost began to falter, and though K’s Stand Tall made a game bid and once grabbed a narrow lead, Golden Tale prevailed under a strong ride from A. Ching and hit the wire a length in front of late-flying Soultrapper(Ire)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 K’s Stand Tall hung on for third, with the favorite in fourth and Papua Theft picking up the pieces for the last small check.<\/P> Golden Tale is a Tale of the Cat daughter out of a GII-placed Coronado’s Quest horse.\u00a0 The Jockey Guild is her fourth win in nine career starts and pushes her career earnings over $225,000 and her classic division rank to thirty-first.\u00a0 She covered the mile and one-sixteenth in 1:42 and 4\/5 for a career-high 99 speed rating.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GIII Jockey Guild Stakes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"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-2260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260","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\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
