A Rags to Riches Story... All Squared Away couldn=t get it squared away in lower-level maiden taggers at Hollywood last spring and summer, finishing a debut fourth for $40,000 May 5, third May 26 and runner-up June 9. Away a little more than six months, the bargain-basement purchase missed by a head when third in his Dec. 17 comebacker in Inglewood, then shipped to Northern California to graduate by a length going two turns at Golden Gate Jan. 22. Seventh after leading to the three-eighths point of the GIII El Camino Real Derby in Albany Feb. 18, he shed blinkers and was second in a Mar. 15 starter-allowance at Santa Anita ahead of his Turfway engagement, which came just nine days later. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, but the tote read 70-1 at post time here. Tough It Out... GIII Southwest S. winner Castaway (Street Sense), a drifter in the market, was fractious in the stalls, but was ridden for speed once the gates were sprung and rushed up to join impressive Turfway maiden winner Johannesbourbon (Johannesburg) and Hammers Terror (Artie Schiller) in a three-pronged war on the front end. All Squared Away was trapped outside that trio and four deep into the clubhouse turn before dropping in a bit to let the pacesetters break the wind. The longshot was still traveling comfortably just off the pace and edged back out to the four path, just beating favored Summer Coady Photography Front (War Front) to that spot and forcing that one a touch wider into the far turn. Castaway dropped away tamely with about three furlongs to race, and Johannesbourbon and Hammers Terror boxed on gamely into the stretch. But, despite doing it tough most of the way, All Squared Away came off the heels of Hammers Terror at the sixteenth pole and staved off a late run from Summer Front for the upset. ASince the horse got here--as most horses do when they get to Keeneland--this horse just flourished,@ Ward offered. AHe just put a lot of weight on. He=s eaten the bottom out of the feed tub. When we worked him, the last couple of works have been just outstanding. He=s just thriving being here. @ P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 4/22/12 • PAGE 4 of 14 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Saturday, Aqueduct Jerome S. cont.
