Lucky 13 in American Oaks (Cont THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2016 >BISCUITS= A TRUE OVERACHIEVER LUCKY 13 IN by Alan Carasso AMERICAN OAKS Managing a Thoroughbred is rarely straight-forward. Sure, you set some goals and devise a strategy to achieve those objectives, but more frequently than not, you have to dip into the bag for plans B, C and sometimes D.

AThat day at that time, the times were slow. If you watched the breeze, it was a really nice video and I had a lot of New York trainers look at him and they all seemed to like him. He continued, ABut between the time [:10 3/5] and getting lost in the shuffle a bit being like 60 hips from the end of a five-day sale actually ended up working to our benefit. We were always going to protect him for a lot more than the $47,000 he RNAd for. I told the partners I wanted to keep him and run him and gave them the option and they decided they wanted to sell their piece. I was able to bring [Joaquin Guerrero=s] J Stable aboard at that time and we took him to the track straight from the sale.@ Armed with a horse they believed could take full advantage of the lucrative state-bred program in New York, Summers and his team sent Mind Your Biscuits to Saratoga and the colt validated their collective faith with runner-up efforts in his first two starts. It was after that second trip to the post that Summers admits he began to get excited. A[Jockey] Joel [Rosario] had breezed the horse for us a couple of times and told one of the gate crew going into the gate, >It=s going to take a freak or a monster to beat us,=@ Summers recollected. AAnd when he got to the gate for the next race he told them, >A Mind Your Biscuits being led in monster did beat us.= When he Benoit photo ran second in what became the fastest 2-year-old race of the meet [6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.71]--open or otherwise--we thought that he could be a really nice horse.@ The winner that day was Championofthenile (Pioneerof the Nile), the $840,000 second highest-priced lot at the 2015 Fasig- Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. Third in the $206,000 New York Futurity--the colt=s major goal for 2015--and fourth to Governor Malibu (Malibu Moon) in a subsequent maiden, Mind Your Biscuits was given a six-month break and returned in 2016 with a pair of blowout wins against his fellow New York-breds around another stakes placing in the Mike Lee S. while now under the care of trainer Robert Falcone, Jr. With a couple of apparently softer options available, Summers and team opted for the most ambitious route, and it paid off with a decisive score in the GII Amsterdam S. at the Spa.
