Saratoga Springs, Ny-the Estate of R. Larry Johnson’s Multiple Graded Stakes-Winner Future is now Earned her 10th career victory in 18 Starts, successfully defended her title in the mentioned $ 150,000 Slim and Chic on Friday, a 5 1/2 Furlong Mellon Turf Sprint for Marries and Marries 3 years old, on Saratoga Race Course.
Trained by Michael TrombettaThe 5-year-old Great Notion Bay took this event with half a length last August and has since won 4-of-5-student, including a final score in the grade 3 tendency on the race and distance on July 19. Her extra graded scores in that Span include Keeneland’s Grade 2 Franklin in October and grade 3 Giant’s Causeway in April, and she also won the grade 2 Intercontinental here in June.
“We all know how rare they are,” said Trombetta. “So if you get one like this, just try to do everything right and give her every chance to appear.”
Driven by the regular driver Paco Lopez, who has navigated all Graded scores of the mare, the future is now broken alert from post 5 and settled in third position outside the Twirling Queen when the risk threshold went from the front of the inside of the inside of the good grass.
“Today, a little nervous in the gate when she goes inside, but she is her – she always breaks well, she always breaks in the top,” Lopez said. “I let her go on three and a half, pick it up, pick it up at the eighth pole.”
The future is now being maintained its dense third position in turn and soon rotating queen, while the risk threshold remained strongly on the lead to complete the bend. At the top of Lane, the risk threshold and the future is now on even terms, while Dontlookbackatall improved on the inside and was ready for her run after half miles in 45.40.
The future is now an advantage of 1/2 length built by the stretch call without movement from Lopez, who then checked over each shoulder looking for who can challenge his load.
“I had enough horse. She went well. She’s a very good mike mike. She’s doing better and better for him,” Lopez said. “She likes competition … she is waiting a bit for the horses.”
The Manny Franco-Pilotated Dontlookbackatall fought at the most important danger in the middle of the track, but the future is now strongly reacted in the lane and is fed to the wire to beat her with 1 1/2 lengths in a recent period of 1: 02.71.
Ellen Jay finished third half a length behind Dontlookbackatall, with a risk threshold that landed fourth. Too late, Twirling Queen and Sunday Girl completed the order of finish, while Benedetta was pulled into the play and gave a ride back to the barn area via the Equine Ambulance.
Gal in a hurry, crossed in the satin and side on August 18 at Presque Isle Downs, and the most important participants in the Legadema main track and small joker were scratched.
Trombetta said his most important care was the gate, but his stylish mare broke smoothly today.
“She sometimes gets a bit picky in the gate. That is something we have worked on, but I can’t duplicate the afternoon vibes in the morning,” Trombetta said. “I think she was well broken. Paco was not sure how things would unfold in the paddock and to be honest not either.
Trombetta added that a different title defense can be in order, this time in the 2 Franklin degree on October 12 in Keeneland.
“We hope so. That has always been the goal of getting there in the fall,” said Trombetta. “We bring her back to Fair Hill, let her relax a bit and prepare for what the next one is. She had had a good season last year – I think she had driven nine times – we will look at everything.”
Franco said that the Dontlookbackatall game trained by Miguel Clement was in the defeat after a stumbling start. The 5-year-old Peace and Justice Dark Bay won the degree 3 from last year, where the future is now a dense third.
‘Stumble a little [of the gate] And then I just take my time, “said Franco.” Then, after half miles, she took it a bit strong, so she wanted to move forward. I got the place, then got a good journey, I was just the second best. She was there for me. “
Bred in Maryland by the late R. Larry Johnson, Future is Now, a half-sister of Graded deployment that has a different play and several bets placed continental congress, is from the Trombetta-educated Johnson-home prayer past as Prelude, a half-sister Magician.
She won $ 82,500 in the victory to increase her career-bankroll to $ 967,160 while improving her record to 18-10-2-1 and $ 3.60 for a $ 2 win as the post-time favorite.
