This son of Danehill Dancer has now won 11 races and earnings of $3.3 million in his career. The Grade I Good Day victory is now Mount Samson\u2019s third win in his last four starts, all in graded company. Remarkably he has now won his last three starts at Grade I company. The secret I guess is run him in Grade I\u2019s because he will probably keep winning if he can post another 111 speed figure. Mount Samson maintains his #1 ranking in the Turf Classic Division and actually extends his lead in the division. In my preview I said \u201c<span class=\"apple-style-span\"><span style=\"color: black; \">he is the class runner, and I can\u2019t see anything beating him. Empty the wallet and put it on Mount Samson to win.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"color: black; \">If you took my advice I expect some commission because he paid $11.80 for the win. If not I guess you know what to do next time. Can\u2019t wait to see him in a race later in the year like the Cox Plate.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font class=\"Apple-style-span\" face=\"Verdana\">Second placing belonged to former champion Portman\u2019s Perfect from the nijinsky4 barn. He settled nearly 8 lengths off the pace and he did a great job to run \u00be of a length to Mount Samson. It just shows that you can\u2019t give a class animal like Mount Samson a start.<\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font class=\"Apple-style-span\" face=\"Verdana\">From the tripwire stable, Light Tripper put up a gallant fight, setting a solid pace up front. Finishing in 3<sup>rd\u00a0<\/sup>place, he couldn\u2019t withstand the finishing speed of Mount Samson and Portman\u2019s Perfect but the 108 speed figure wasn\u2019t too bad. His last two starts in G1\u2019s at 10.5f he has been just run down so maybe 10f is the furthest he wants to go.<\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font class=\"Apple-style-span\" face=\"Verdana\">Congratulations the winner and good luck to the future!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turf Classic division lights up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"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-9134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9134","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\/53"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
