This past weekend in the state of Louisiana was the mile and one eighth Saints Handicap run on the dirt course. The weather was pleasant on Saturday for the running and all twelve entrats loaded into the starting gates easily. These seconds went by until the bell sounded and the twelve sets of pounding hooves went thundering out onto the track.
Out to the lead early was early line favorite Quincannon <\/b>, owned and trained by lilbitfarm <\/i>, with a one-fourth length jump on the rest of the field. Tucked in behind in second was Road To Isengard <\/b> owned by glendowr <\/i>. Bigkev <\/i> owned and trained Canungra Folly <\/b> was three lengths back in third. In fourth and fifth were Hate The Drake <\/b> and Gracepointe Prayer <\/b> trianed by 501farms <\/i> and pazfour <\/i> respectively. Off the pace early and trailing the pack was Act Of God <\/b>, owned by lenny13 <\/i>
Quincannon <\/b> continued to have a lead on the field, still holing on by one-fourth of a length. Road To Isengard <\/b> was still in second as was Canungra Folly <\/b> in third. Hate The Drake <\/b> and Gracepointe Prayer <\/b> continued to fight over the fourth and fifth place positions. No horse in the field was giving an inch.
At the final turn Quincannon <\/b> was still in the lead, no by three-fourths of a length but with the rest of the field quickly gaining ground. Road To Isengard <\/b> maintained his second place position along with Canungra Folly <\/b> in third. Moving up into fourth from way off the pace and overcoming the far outside post position was karen <\/i> owned Formulated Risk (GB) <\/b>. In fifth was late charging Rude Boss (AUS) <\/b>, trained by million <\/i>. Secret Quality <\/b> had moved up slightly and was now in sixth, making a bid for owner aintree <\/i>. Gracepoint Prayer <\/b> and Hate The Drake <\/b> were now rapidly loosing ground and were stuggling to hold on to seventh and eigth positions. Also dropping back further was Mellow Yellow T (F) <\/b>, owned by teefarms <\/i>. Holding ground in tneth was theaxell <\/i> trained Twist Of Lemon <\/b>. High Otto <\/b>, trained by venezolano was nine and three-fourth lengths back in eleventh and now trailing the pack coming for home was Act Of God <\/b>.
At last the field of twelve horses came charging towards the wire and it was Formulated Risk (GB) <\/b>, owned and trained by karen <\/i> to stage an upset in the Saints Handicap and win by half a length with a recorded speed figure of one hundred nine. Coming in for the place was Act Of God <\/b>, making an unbelievable bid from last place coming to the wire and almost clinching the victory. In third was early leader and pre-race favorite Quincannon <\/b>.
