As the dust settles after a great Equinics weekend, I would like to congratulate all the residencies who made the event so great. This was the first Equinics I followed (Now that I belong to a rez) and what a show it was. Again, we have a great community here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juvenile Division Race Recap<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n G3 Trixy Delight’s Special – August 2, 2020 :<\/strong> The forgotten race on a day of big ones. The first juvenile stakes that goes a mile. Fleetwood Cole used a huge move down the stretch to seal the win and a 91 speed figure. Nothing To Justify came from even farther back and got up for a second place finish, still 1 1\/2 lengths behind our winner. Teslagrad rounded out the top 3 and seemed to like the added distance after his 4th place showing in the Manor of Bashford last start. The Crafty French, the upset winner of the Montana Futurity, ran a disappointing 12th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n G1 Equinics – August 2, 2020 :<\/strong> Catch me if you can and they couldn’t. Fleetwood Flatline lead the whole way and cruised to a 1 1\/4 length and a 91 speed figure, much like his stablemate earlier in the Trixy. Find the Code came from much off the pace to get up for second, while Dragon’s Deputy had the chance for first run on our leader, but steadied out and finished third. Previously ranked #3 Sweet Sweet Song never fired and ran a disappointing 8th, and #8 Awesome Ghetto ran a consistent 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jwest44\u2019s Top 10 Juvenile Males – Updated August 3rd, 2020<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Disclaimer : To qualify for my rankings, you must have run in a graded stakes race)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 ) Militarization<\/strong><\/a> : Best of the best.
