SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2016 A >MASTER=-FUL VICTORY AT DEL MAR GUNNEVERA SWEEPS TO Mastery (Candy Ride {Arg}) lived up to the ATDN Rising Star@ DECISIVE JACKPOT SUCCESS moniker he earned in his Arcadia unveiling with a victory in the Bob Hope Saturday. Shedding blinkers for this step up to stakes company, the 1-5 chalk broke on top and ticked off easy opening fractions of :23.23 and :47.07. Swarmed by California Diamond (Harbor the Gold) and Ann Arbor Eddie (Square Eddie) exiting the bend, the dark bay briefly appeared beaten in early stretch, but readily responded when asked for more by Hall of Fame pilot Mike Smith and skipped clear to score. AWe knew he was a nice horse when he broke his maiden, but from what we saw today he could be something,@ winning conditioner Bob Baffert said. AThe second out is so important. They can run well in the first outing and then take a step back. We didn=t have him super cranked for the first out and this one was a lot of him [talent]. He just shipped down this morning and he shipped well. Now=s he=s got that experience. He didn=t look exhausted afterwards, but he didn=t really have to exert himself.@ Cont. p9 Gunnevera sustained a long run to win the Delta Jackpot | Coady IN TDN EUROPE TODAY JUSTICE FOR WHYTE IN AUSTRALIA In its relatively brief history, horses making the trek from Jockey Douglas Whyte bounced back after a quiet time to land South Florida, across the panhandle and over to Vinton, the G1 Railway S. in Australia on Scales Of Justice (Aus). Louisiana, have featured prominently in the GIII Delta Downs Jackpot S. In 2008, future GI Breeders= Cup Sprint winner Big Drama (Montbrook) completed a six-for-six season in the Jackpot, while two years later, Gourmet Dinner (Trippi), a 20-1 chance, got the better of 48-1 Decisive Moment (With Distinction), keying a Florida-bred exacta that paid nearly $760 and a triple that was worth better than $9700. There were no such exotics payoffs Saturday afternoon down on the Bayou, as Gunnevera (Dialed In) exploded around the field on the second of Delta Downs=s two sharp turns and blew the field away in the stretch for a 5 3/4-length defeat of California shipper Hot Sean (Flatter). A second Golden State raider, Dangerfield (Into Mischief), added some pari-mutuel spice on the bottom at 18-1. AI really liked the way he did it today, it was a great performance,@ commented winning jockey Javier Castellano. AHe got it going on the backside and I was very impressed with the way he finished.@ Cont. p3 PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected] SR.

    Toyota Blue Grass Stakes® (G2) Sponsored by Toyota 94th Running • Spring • 1 1/8 miles • 3-year-olds The Blue Grass Stakes was named for the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, which is characterized by grass having bluish-green culms and is known as the heart of the Thoroughbred breeding industry. First run at the Kentucky Association track in Lex- ington in 1911, the Blue Grass has, from its inception, served as an important prep for the Kentucky Derby. At the Association track, the Blue Grass was staged from 1911-1914 and 1919-1926. The race was revived at Keeneland in the spring of 1937. In 1943-1944, the Blue Grass was renewed as a part of the Keeneland-at-Churchill Downs meetings. In 1945, the Blue Grass was run as a part of the Churchill Downs meeting. Toyota became the sponsor in 1996. The purse of the race was increased to $1 million in 2015.
