Ozone Park, NY – Napoleon Solo Dominated at the front under Hall of Famer Joel Rosario to post a thunderous score of 6 1/2 length in the grade 1 of Saturday, $ 500,000 champagne, a kilometer for a turn for 2-year-olds, in Belmont at the Big A.
In the victory, the Chad Sumbers Trainee for owner Al Gold’s Gold Square earned a “win and you’re in” berth in De Graad 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on October 31 in Del Mar and also claimed the maximum allocation of 10-5-3-2-1 qualifying points that were offered at the Top-Vijf Finishers to the Grads 1 DOGNS.
“We tried to get grade 1 horses and try to go to the Kentucky Derby, we were there a few years ago with Cyberknife … so this is great,” said Summers. “I am just so happy for all and his family, the time, effort and the money they have put into it. He loves his names, horses and the game. To have such a horse is inspiring, it can even be inspiring enough to get on a plane.”
Napoleon Solo, at Liam’s map, went on 8 August on 8 August on a limited Maiden Sprint in a limited Maiden Sprint in a limited Maiden Sprint in a limited Maiden Sprint under Kendrick Carmouche under Kendrick Carmouche in a limited Maiden Sprint. Rosario, who won the grade 1 Frizette One Race earlier with Iron Orchard, picked up the mountain here and sent Napoleon Solo forward by splits of 22.53 seconds and 44.24 with 2-5 Mutuel Favorite It’s our time stalking from Second Position.
Napoleon Solo led the field in turn when 17 3/4-length debut winner It’s Our Time was scrubbed by Luis Saez while trying and failed to make a dent in the ever-increasing lead of the leader. Napoleon Solo opened with five lengths at the Stretch Call and remained strong on the thread to make the victory in a recent period of 1: 34.57 on the fast main track.
“He broke out very well. It seemed that the song was a bit [fast]. They keep going on, so just try to stay there [up front] – It seemed easy for him, “said Rosario.” I honestly thought he would be third or fourth, but he broke so well, and I try not to take anything away because it was easy for him. Then I went a little to another plan. It seemed that he did it nicely and easily, so I just drove him and hopefully nobody was faster than him. “

Gargan said that Kentucky’s talk, who placed an impressive debut girl in the SPA on 30 August, perhaps earned a berth in the Nine-Furlong Grade 2, $ 250,000 Remsen on December 6 here that offers 10-5-3-2-1 Kentucky Derby qualifying points.
“He ran enormously. Went there, I thought there would be more speed. I would have liked two class 1’s today, but when I am second, I’m right,” Gargan said. “I didn’t want Kendrick to move him early and use him and faded. I said,” I try to teach this horse because I think he will be a two -part horse. ” This horse could win the brake, give him a good education today.
Summers said he loved the way Napoleon Solo, who is named after a fictional character from the TV Spy series The man of uncleEarly after sharp splits, an important break of his debut score ended.
“You don’t have many horses that go 44 and change and continue,” said Summers. “He did it, it wasn’t really the plan, but Joel said that he broke just as easily and he had so much horse in his hand,” he goes, “with the way the song plays, let’s just keep going.”
“We were worried because we had free time, 24 days to the hopeful, 60 days before this race,” Summers added. “What are you doing? You are in no man’s land. He is a 2-year-old, he is a nice horse, he is developing, although such a great owner, we work together to make that plan and think what is best for the horse now and for the long term.”
Summers said he would sit with the team to discuss the possibility of a trip to Del Mar for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
‘Don’t know. Look, [with] A race like this, you want to go. But that was a fast time with a young horse that only ran two races, we will look at all the numbers, see how the numbers come back, come together with all, “said Summers.” Again, the Breeders’ Cup is in California, I wish it was once or twice on the east coast. Go on a plane and go there, there are many things to consider. ”
