Magic Wallet Rallies to win Dover Stakes * The Racing Biz

Magic Wallet announced himself as a foal to watch in Delaware Park on Thursday, giving him his first bet victory in the $ 75,000 Dover Stakes.

A homeboard for Bill Bayne, the son of Divining Rod broke out of the rail under Victor Carrasco and settled just behind the leaders in the early stages. After he had fallen somewhat in turn, he launched a radical five-wide rally in the play, while he increased past leader Majestic Blue to win with 2 3/4 lengths in 1: 12.07 for six Furlongs about a good job.

It was the second victory in the same number of Starts for Magic Wallet, who heated death for the victory in his debut in July in Colonial Downs. From the seven -time winning mare in Papa’s wallet, by Medaglia d’Oro, the Colt has already earned more than $ 80,000, a handy return on a runner by a $ 2,500 father.

“He is like a quiet horse, nothing crazy,” said trainer Claudio Gonzalez. “He even looks like he’s a five -year -old. He does everything in the morning. You can also see in the afternoon.”

Majestic Blue held second place in the piece, while Blue leaves out forty -two from Put for third place. Wall Art stopped halfway through the race and walked away.

Magic Wallet paid as the 7-5 favorite, paid $ 4.80 to win. The Exacta, with the top two insert choices, returned $ 10.80 on a deployment of one dollar.

The duration was seven hundredth slower than the blue chicken, for 2-year-old mares, two races earlier.

Gonzalez is not yet ready to map the next step for Magic Wallet, but he is hopeful.

“It’s too early to know. It depends on how he returns,” he said. “Maybe we will know next week. But I think we will be happy.”
