AHe=s trained well and has done well, and it just looked like the right spot for us.@ The versatile Itsmyluckyday, no worse than third in five career trips to the post, earned his diploma by two lengths at Monmouth Park in June. He certainly held his own in his lone try on grass, placing a close third in the Jersey Shore=s Tyro S. Aug. 5. Subsequent GII Summer S. hero I=m Boundtoscore (Even The Score) was second that day, beaten only a half-length. What does Plesa think Itsmyluckyday=s best game will be going forward? AI think two turns--that=s what I thought before his last race,@ Plesa replied. AI was dying to get him into a two-turn race and I just didn=t have an opportunity to do so. I was chomping at the bit to get him in a distance race and he proved me right. It will be interesting when we can stretch him out on the turf, whenever that may be.@ Cont. p3 In This Issue
