Stakes Recaps for 10-9-22
Surfer Girl (G3): Queenzy set the pace but could not hold the advantage. My top choice Sell the Dream stalked, led, and was tagged by race favorite Comanche Country ($3.60). The top two were clear of rallying show finisher Bolt’s Broad (43-1). Fast and Shiny, Queenzy, Bolts Babe, Court Snort, and Excelia (IRE) also ran. The final time for 8T was 1:35.20.
Swingtime (8T): Hamwood Flier ($3.60) was just too fleet for her rivals. She stumbled out of the gate, took the lead, opened up, and coasted home to score by 2-1/4 lengths. My top choice Counterparty Risk (IRE) just got up for 2nd over Sugar Fix, and Warrens Candy Girl was right behind those two. Javanica, Rocking Redhead, and Natural Cooler (GB) completed the order of finish. The final time was a solid 1:33.34.
Zuma Beach (G3): 44-1 longshot Castleknock was in front for quite some time but strong favorite Packs a Wahlop ($4.00) always had his measure and kicked away to score by a bit less than three lengths. Castleknock was second best and Malibu Coast stalked from the inside post and finished an okay 3rd. Gas Me Up completed the superfecta and was followed by For a Laugh (IRE), maiden Dandy Man Shines (IRE), Ah Jeez, Russells Hustle, Giver Not a Taker, Suburban Prince, and De la Luna. The winning final time for 8T was 1:34.07.
The 20 cent Rainbow 6 pool was $214,056, and multiple tickets with six winners paid $46.96. The jackpot carryover stands at $216,486.
