Analyze the Odds goes last to first in NY Breeders’ Futurity

By Sarah Mace

Shipping west Saturday to Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack for owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher, Analyze the Odds unleashed a powerful last-to-first rally in the stretch to win the 55th running of the six-furlong, $216,875 New York Breeders’ Futurity by a neck over Mr. Pete, winner of the Aspirant Stakes on September 9.

Following a good break for all six 2-year-olds, the field settled into a clearly demarcated “first flight” and “second flight” separated by two lengths.

In the first flight, 3-2 favorite Indy’s Lady, winner of the Lady Finger Stakes on September 9 in her career debut and the lone filly in the field, vied for the lead with maiden Collective Effort (7-2) and Lover’s Leap (10-1) through a 22.87 opening quarter and 46.80 half. Mr. Pete and Tender Boy followed two lengths back. Analyze the Odds, 5-2 at post time under Chris DeCarlo, was outrun early and brought up the rear.

Analyze the Odds picked up steam rounding the far turn and fanned wide at the head of the stretch to rally on the grandstand side.

The bay colt passed his first two rivals approaching the furlong marker. Building on his momentum under a drive, Analyze the Odds passed the remaining three horses in the shadow of the wire for the neck victory. Another neck back, the next two New York-bred juveniles across the line – Collective Effort and Aspirant runner-up Lover’s Leap – were also separated by just a neck. The final time for six furlongs was 1:12.73 over a fast track. [VIDEO REPLAY[2]]

Analyze the Odds, who has earned $204,625 from two wins and a third in five starts, won his unveiling early in the year, taking an open 4 1/2-furlong maiden special weight at Aqueduct on April 20 with a professional rating trip. Unplaced in the open Tremont at Belmont on June 9 and third in the Rockville Centre at the same venue, he finished fourth behind Aveenu Malcainu in the Funny Cide, his only Saratoga appearance.

Aveenu Malcainu, who was entered for New York Breeders’ Futurity by trainer Jeremiah Englehart, scratched from the race, scheduled make his next start instead next weekend in the Grade 1, $500,000 Champagne Stakes.

The first foal out of The Sense Angel, Analyze the Odds was bred by Lansdowne Thoroughbreds and foaled at Saratoga Glen Farm[4] in Schuylerville. Repole Stable purchased Analyze the Odds, who is by Repole stallion Overanalyze, for just $15,000 at the 2016 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October yearling sale.

A winning daughter of Mineshaft, The Sense Angel has a yearling colt by Noble Mission (GB), a weanling colt by Honorable Dillon and was bred this year to Animal Kingdom. The family tree includes El Gran Senor and Castle Gandolfo.

Fourstar Crook repeats in John Hettinger Stakes

By Sarah Mace

At Belmont Park on Sunday, for the second year in a row, Michael Dubb, Bethlehem Stable and Gary Aisquith’s Fourstar Crook (Freud) won the 1 1/8-mile, $125,000 John Hettinger Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares. To do so this time around, however, the mare had to overcome a 22 1/2-length deficit behind a blistering pace.

The dramatic victory, which Fourstar Crook made look easy in the end, was a more-than-fitting tribute to the race’s namesake, who bred her dam Avril a Portugal.

A Chad Brown-trainee, Fourstar Crook had an eight-race winning streak snapped at Saratoga on August 25 when she was beaten 1 1/4-lengths by Bar of Gold in the Yaddo Stakes, but was well-backed at .75 cents on the dollar to find her way back to the winner’s circle in the Hettinger.

For the first half-mile of the race, Barrel of Dreams spurted off to lead a spread-out field through testing opening fractions of 23.38 and 46.07, while Fourstar Crook trailed by nearly 23 lengths. Even with just three furlongs to go after Barrel of Dreams clocked six panels in 1:09.17, Fourstar Crook still had nearly 20 lengths to make up. She entered the stretch three wide with lots still to do.

Fourstar Crook inhaled the deficit in the stretch and, at the sixteenth pole, overhauled the leg-weary pacesetter, as well as Tizelle, who had been chasing 10 lengths behind in third. Edging clear, Fourstar Crook kicked away to win by 3 1/2 lengths. After a blistering mile in 1:33.73, the final time was 1:46.05.

Tizelle kept a nose ahead of Brown-trainee Ack Naughty in third, while Barrel of Dreams hung on for fourth. Next across the finish line were Feeling Bossy, Flipcup, Summersault, Jc’s Shooting Star and Bonita Springs. [VIDEO REPLAY[2]]

“It was kind of a funny race,” said jockey Javier Castellano. “I didn’t expect [it] to be that way on paper. I was kind of concerned the horses in front spread the field and I had to use my filly a little before than I’m used to.”

Castellano continued, “I had start going by the half-mile pole and she had a good, strong kick. I’m very fortunate to be the pilot because no matter what you do she always shows up and gives you a consistent race. I really have to give credit to Chad and his team for how good she’s been this year.”

Brown also felt uneasy as the race unfolded. “I was a little concerned with the pace in front. Both of our horses were so far back and the turf’s been very firm this week. We were concerned as they were heading for home that [Fourstar Crook] might not be able to reel them in, but she’s something else.”

“She’s amazed me,” Brown continued. “She has a big strong kick and she got there in plenty of time.” The conditioner is considering Woodbine’s Grade 1 E.P. Taylor on Sunday, October 15 for the mare’s final start of the year.

The 2017 Hettinger was Fourstar Crook’s fifth career stakes victory. She also earned graded black type this year on July Fourth when she won the Grade 3 Dr. James Penny Memorial Stakes at Parx. From nine wins and two seconds in 13 starts, she has earned $649,050.

Bred by Kathleen M. Feron, Fourstar Crook sold as a yearling to Allied Bloodstock at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred yearling sale for $55,000. Michael Dubb bought her the following year at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Spring sale of 2-year-olds for $110,000.

Of her five winning siblings out of the Hettinger-bred mare Avril a Portugal by D’Accord, Coaltown Legend (Jump Start), earned over $325,000. Avril a Portugal mare currently has a yearling filly by Freud and delivered a Freud colt on April 19, 2017.

The renowned Hettinger breeding program also stamped the male division of Sunday’s paired New York-bred turf races. The Ashley T. Cole run earlier on the card was won by Get Jets[3], out of Sunny, another Hettinger-bred mare. Both horses were foaled at Hettinger’s Akindale Farm[4] in Pawling.

Highway Star picks up second Grade 2 in Gallant Bloom, heads to Breeders’ Cup

By Sarah Mace

Chester and Mary Broman’s homebred Highway Star (Girolamo), who has gone from strength to strength this year for trainer Rodrigo Ubillo, picked up a second Grade 2 stakes victory Sunday with a strong finish in the featured Gallant Bloom Stakes at Belmont Park. The win was Highway Star’s fifth career stakes score and fourth graded win overall.

When asked by the NYRA Communications team about whether he was planning to ship Highway Star out west to compete in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint on Saturday, November 4, Ubillo said, “We’ll have to sit down and talk to [the Bromans about her next start]. Probably the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, but we’re not certain as of yet.” The conditioner had a more definitive answer ready when asked by the DRF’s Dave Grening: “I had a hint, but I wasn’t sure, I was going to wait until after this race. Now, we make it official.”

Jockey Luis Saez had the call on Sunday, subbing for regular rider (and cousin) Angel Arroyo because, as Ubillo explained, “Unfortunately, Angel took a spill [on Friday] and he wasn’t ready. Luis is his cousin and he talked to him about the filly so I felt pretty good.”

Highway Star broke from the inside post of six as the 2-1 second choice and navigated the backstretch at the rail in fourth, then fifth, losing a spot to fellow New York-bred Absatootly while pinned down inside.

Moving out into the two path in the approach to the turn, then three-wide around the bend, Highway Star made up ground and was set down for the drive four wide. She set her sights on odds-on favorite and Chad Brown-trainee Carina Mia, who took over the lead just past the quarter pole after Lucy N Ethel set early fractions of 22.59 and 45.94.

Asked for another gear in the lane, Highway Star found it. She closed the gap to Carina Mia, got the lead with less than a sixteenth of mile to go and inched away to win by a neck.

New York-bred Quezon finished a half-length back in third and, after a gap of more than six lengths, Absatootly, Friend of Liberty and pacesetter Lucy N Ethel completed the order of finish. After six furlongs in 1:10.31, Highway Star Stopped the clock at 1:16.91. [VIDEO REPLAY[2]]

Saez said, “They told me to break and see how I was and go from there and see what happens. I was a little worried because I had the one hole and I knew everyone was going to come down and we’d be stuck down [on the rail].”

Saez continued, “As soon as I got the opportunity, I came out and followed [Carina Mia] for Javier [Castellano]. When we came into the stretch, [Highway Star] took off. I was watching the replay of how she ran last time [second by a head in the Grade 1 Ballerina on August 26]. That was a big race she ran and I knew she was going to be tough to beat.”

Said Ubillo, “She broke good and then something happened on the backside so she fell back a little bit farther back than I wanted her to. Luis then took her to the outside and she made up a little ground. By the end of the race she came on again to finish strong.”

Highway Star is now five for six over Big Sandy. As Ubillo explained, “She trains here and I gallop her in the mornings and you can tell she really loves this track.”

Highway Star, who has won eight of 13 lifetime starts, finished second once and third twice, has made her last five starts in graded company. The Gallant Bloom victory brings Highway Star’s earnings in the neighborhood of $1 million ($969,000).

Unraced at two and winner of five of seven starts at three, Highway Star has blossomed at four, holding her own with the best female sprinters in the country. In the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps Stakes, she finished third to Songbird and Paid Up Subscriber. She missed winning the Grade 1 Ballerina by just a head to By the Moon.

Highway Star is one of three winners out of Stolen Star, a multiple stakes-placed homebred for the Bromans by Cat Thief, and is a half-sister to the Bromans’ multiple stakes winner and Friend or Foe, now a sire. Chester Broman purchased Stolen Star’s dam, Unbridled Star (Unbridled), for just $115,000 at the 2002 Keeneland November Sale.

Stolen Star currently has an unraced juvenile colt by Into Mischief named Fast Getaway and a weanling colt by Forty Tales. She was breed to Alpha in 2017.

Highway Star’s sire Girolamo, a Grade 1-winning son of A.P. Indy owned by Darley, began his stud career in 2012 at Becky Thomas and Dennis Narlinger’s Sequel Stallions New York[4] before relocating to Kentucky.

Get Jets all determination in Ashley T. Cole

By Sarah Mace

With only yards to go in Sunday’s running of the $125,000, 1 1/8-mile Ashley T. Cole for New York-bred turf runners three and up, five of six horses were stacked across the track and the three main contenders were rallying with intent.

Eight-year-old millionaire Kharafa (5-1) had good momentum at the fence, odds-on favorite Get Jets was rallying from fourth four-wide, and, on the outside, Call Provision (5-2) was surging toward the finish line in the clear.

In the end, Get Jets (Scat Daddy) had “that little extra something,” and edged Call Provision by a nose for the win. Kharafa finished 3/4 lengths back in third. Cloontia (9-2) completed the superfecta, followed across the line by longshots All Is Number, who set the pace for the first three-quarters of a mile, and Pat On the Back.

The race, which began in a leisurely way (24:19, 49.06 and 1:13.26), ended with a rush. The final furlong was clocked in 11.27, and the final time was 1:47.74. [VIDEO REPLAY[2]]

Before launching his winning rally, Get Jets traveled in fourth place in the four path around both turns and into upper stretch.

“Perfect trip. I landed where I wanted to be,” said winning jockey John Velazquez. “I had two horses coming from behind and one [Kharafa] got to the inside and the other one [Call Provision] went to the outside. I liked the one coming on the outside, so I stayed out there.”

Velazquez also loved Get Jets’ competitive spirit in the drive: “He put in a really good fight down the lane. As soon as we got head and head, I got after him.” The pilot continued, “I like that feeling when you get after the horse and your horse is giving it to you. They give a really good fight and as soon as they put a head in front, they’re like, ‘Nah uh, you’re not passing me.’”

Tony Dutrow, who is the colt’s trainer as well as a partner in Get Jets’ ownership group, Team D, commented, “I thought Jets broke well. On paper, it set up the way the race went. He settled some four or five lengths behind the speed of the race. Johnny [Velazquez] was content to keep him in that position and he knew the horses behind him we’re going to be the competition, so he waited for them and when they made their move, Get Jets did as well.”

Dutrow, like Velazquez, singled out Get Jets’ final push for praise. “When Call Provision came to Get Jets there at the eighth pole, they ran to the wire together and Get Jets maybe was a little too much today. I’m very happy with his effort today. I felt really good about [the distance]. But it was a test. He was also picking up some weight. I have to feel good about the result of today.”

As the 123-pound highweight in the race, Get Jets spotted rivals 3-11 pounds. The Ashley T. Cole was also the colt’s longest distance test to date by a sixteenth of a mile. Following a brief freshening, Dutrow will target the 1 3/8 Grade 3 Red Smith on November 11.

Winner of his debut at Saratoga and the Sleepy Hollow at Belmont in 2015, both on dirt, Get Jets did not revisit the winner’s circle until he switched over to turf in his final race of 2016. In six starts on grass, he has four wins and two seconds. Get Jets was last seen on August 25 at Saratoga closing like a rocket to collect a second career stakes victory in a highly competitive edition of the West Point at Saratoga.

Bred by Pat Pavlish and foaled at Akindale Farm in Pawling, Get Jets, whose earnings are $525,850 from 11 starts, with six wins and three seconds, fetched a gaudy $300,000 purchase price at the 2015 OBS April sale of 2-year-olds in training. Consigner Cary Frommer bought the colt originally for $162,000 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred sale in Saratoga.

The chestnut colt is one of two winners from two foals to start out of Sunny, a winning New York-bred daughter of Dixieland Band bred by John Hettinger. Sunny is a half-sister to multiple stakes winner and Grade 1 producer Wake Up Kiss and is from the family of Grade 1-winning millionaires Dare and Go and Go Deputy, and sire Quiet American.

Sunny has a 2-year-old colt by Caleb’s Posse named Ride to the Sunset who has not yet started, a yearling Broken Vow colt and foaled a Tapit colt on April 18. In the spring, Sunny was bred back to Tapit.

Battle Station romps in Bertram F. Bongard

By Sarah Mace

At Belmont Park this past Wednesday, Held Accountable parlayed a debut turf sprint victory into a 2 1/4-length win going seven furlongs on dirt in the Joseph A. Gimma Stakes[2]. Not to be outdone, Battle Station replicated the achievement in the male division of this week’s paired New York-bred juvenile stakes, Friday’s $150,000 Bertram F. Bongard, but, in his case, romped by nearly 10 lengths.

A dark bay colt by Warrior’s Reward campaigned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey and trained by Wesley Ward, Battle Station graduated at first asking at Saratoga on August 25 on the front end, earning an impressive first Beyer Speed Figure of 72. Returning to the races for his stakes debut after four weeks and with one interim drill under his belt, the colt was reunited with debut rider Kendrick Carmouche and sent off as third choice of five at odds of 5-1.

It took a while for the Bongard field to get on its way, and Battle Station was the culprit. He broke through the gate and got What a Catch (next door) stirred up enough to break through as well.

As Carmouche explained after the race, “My horse trigged the gate because he just wanted to come out so bad, and it just caused a chain reaction with Johnny [Velazquez]’s horse [What a Catch]. The good thing is both of them were OK and fought through the race.”

The assistant starter Miguel Ramirez was also heroic in holding on to Battle Station to keep him from running off, but hit the ground hard and had to be taken back in an ambulance for his trouble. Luckily, he was able to walk to the vehicle under his own steam, but it was fully ten minutes past post time before all systems were go again. [UPDATE per DRF: Ramirez, the assistant starter, was taken to a local hospital with shoulder pain.]

Gunned out of post four at the bell, Battle Station took control of the pace right away, and led What a Catch by a length up the backstretch through a first quarter-mile in 22.94. As the field rounded the far turn, these two had separated themselves from the rest, with Battle Station firmly established in the top spot and plenty in the tank.

By the quarter pole, the outcome was in no longer doubt. Battle Station opened up his lead then drew away under a drive, ultimately cruising under the wire a 9 1/4-length winner.

Inalienable Rights, last for the first quarter-mile, closed to finish second, passing What a Catch in late stretch. Completing the order of finish were Untimateenticement and Alien Invasion. After six furlongs in 1:11.30, the final time for seven panels over the fast track was 1:24.83. [VIDEO REPLAY[4]]

“My horse ran very good and I’d like to thank Wesley [Ward] and the Ramseys,” said Carmouche. “I kept him nice and calm throughout and he ran really good. I’ve been working this horse since Saratoga. With Wesley training him and how he gets his 2-year-olds ready, they can do either/or [turf or dirt].”

When the race was drawn, Wesley Ward also commented on the surface switch. “I think he just won on the grass because he’s a good horse. But he’s really a dirt horse.”

Ward also said at the time that he was surprised by how much speed Battle Station showed winning his debut. “This guy is a big, imposing colt – a big, galloping guy. For him to do what he did was an eye-opener for me. I really didn’t expect him to do that.”

Battle Station, bred by Lansdown Thoroughbreds, is one of five winners out of Uriel, a 16-year-old unraced daughter of Unbridled, who was purchased in-foal with Battle Station at the 2014 Keeneland November sale for $17,000. This year Uriel had a filly by Amira’s Prince (IRE) before being bred to Anthony’s Cross.

The Ramseys bought Battle Station, now a perfect two-for-two and winner on both turf and dirt with $133,800 in earnings, as a weanling at the 2015 Keeneland November sale for $50,000.

Held Accountable perfect on dirt and turf with Gimma score

By Sarah Mace

Chester and Mary Broman’s homebred juvenile filly Held Accountable (Exchange Rate) debuted a 2 1/4-length winner in a 5 1/2-furlong state-bred turf contest on August 17 at the Spa, finishing with an extra gear after stalking the pacesetter.

Even before her debut, however, she performed well enough on dirt in the morning to leaver trainer Phil Serpe second-guessing his decision to start her on turf.

“We were at the starting gate with Mr. Broman, his farm manager Greg, and myself, and the filly was about to get her gate card,” said Serpe. “She popped out of the gate and we watched her outwork two of our other 2-year-olds that were pretty nice horses in-hand. We’re all looking at each other, asking ‘So, why are we running this filly on the turf first time out?’ But, she had turf pedigree and we had another filly to run on the dirt.”

Flash forward five weeks to Wednesday’s 7-furlong, $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma Stakes at Belmont Park. Serpe and the Bromans were all-in to take a shot with a surface switch.

Relatively dismissed at odds of 9-1, Held Accountable stumbled at the start out of post two under Luis Saez, but collected herself by the third stride, and ran the 47.13 first half-mile in the clear in fifth, four-wide and four lengths behind 94-1 pacesetter Beaux Arts.

Saving a little extra ground in the two-path midway around the far turn, and asked for run by Saez, Held Accountable rallied past two fillies, moved out into the four-path in upper stretch and targeted fellow Broman runner Pauseforthecause, then Berning Rose, who took over the lead in succession.

With a sixteenth of a mile left to run, Held Accountable took over, then edged away to win by 2 1/4 lengths. After six furlongs in 1:12.66 over the fast racetrack, Held Accountable completed seven furlongs in 1:25.27.

Berning Rose, who had closed from midpack, ended up second, followed by 6-5 favorite Newport Breeze 1 1/4 lengths back. Completing the order of finish were Pauseforthecause, Miss Mystique, Aunt Babe, Girl’s Dance Party and pacesetter Beaux Arts.

“The last time she ran, she was a little green running on the turf, but today was a different story,” said Luis Saez, giving the jockey’s perspective. “She was rating well and when I had the opportunity to put her in the clear she took off. It was the perfect distance for her. She broke pretty good and everything came together.”

Phil Serpe said, “We were very confident today that this filly could do this. We were not surprised that she won this race. You have to be hopeful and we’ve always thought a lot of this filly.”

Serpe also thinks that dirt success opens some doors for Held Accountable this fall. “I would say [she’ll stay on dirt], given that for 2-year-olds at this time of year, there really isn’t a lot of turf races available, especially for the New York-breds until they turn three. I’ll have to talk to Mr. Broman about it. She’s another nice-bred horse by the Bromans.”

Finally, the winning trainer acknowledged the good start Held Accountable had with the recently retired Mike Hushion. “I’m sorry that Mike Hushion retired, but it created an opportunity for us. This was a horse Mike had and he always thought a lot of, for the record. It’s just great training for people like the Bromans. They’re all well-meant horses and they’re very good people to deal with.”

Held Accountable, who has earned $133,800 from her two victories, is one of six winners produced by New Harmony, an unraced daughter of A. P. Indy purchased in foal to Smart Strike by Chester Broman at the 2008 Keeneland November Breeding Stock sale for $190,000.

The resulting foal, Strike Accord, is a stakes-placed turf runner and earner of $263,523. The following year, New Harmony produced multiple stakes-placed In Harm’s Way (Hook and Ladder), third in the 2012 Grade 2 Saratoga Special. The female family includes Grade 1 stakes winner Military, multiple graded stakes winner Parade Ground and graded stakes winners Parade Leader and Speed Dialer. The Bromans sold the mare for $20,000 at the Fasig-Tipton New York Mixed sale in 2015.

Gate-crashing, late-running Therapist up in time to win Laurel Futurity

By Sarah Mace

Oak Bluff Stables homebred Therapist (a colt by Freud, as his name implies) provided some pre-race drama for Saturday’s $100,000 Laurel Futurity by breaking through the starting gate sans rider, and balking while being reloaded before finally getting on his way, but that didn’t compare to his stirring late-race theatrics.

In the final strides, Therapist, who had raced near the rear of the field for the first half-mile, powered past his four remaining rivals to win Saturday’s six-furlong turf dash for 2-year-olds by a head.

In the Futurity, Therapist was making just his second career start for trainer Christophe Clement. For his debut, the chestnut colt shipped from his Saratoga base on July 2 to go the same trip at Belmont Park. There, Therapist rallied to victory over nine New York-bred maiden special weight rivals, winning by 1 3/4 lengths going away. His three most recent timed workouts, including a tempered four furlongs around the dogs on turf, were posted at the Spa.

Bet down to 5-2 second choice and ridden by a patient Daniel Centeno, Therapist was unfazed when he got squeezed back after the start, content to cruise along nine lengths from the front with only one horse beaten, as Nauti Boy led the way through an opening quarter-mile in 22.95.

Saving ground through the far turn and gaining a couple of spots late in the bend as the half went in 45.81, Therapist angled out with an agile move in upper stretch and passed two more horses. In the final stages of his rally, under a vigorous drive midtrack, the colt collared the four remaining rivals in the closing strides to secure the head victory.

“I got lucky he didn’t get hurt in the gate, said Centeno. “It was only his second start and he got nervous. He broke a little slow and I put him on the rail and I saved all the ground. I was watching the favorite and turning for home, I put him into gear and he responded. He galloped out strong. He ran big after breaking through the gate.”

Stroll Smokin, a 20-1 longshot, who raced up on the pace from the start, held for second, while 4-5 favorite Majestic Dunhill had to settle for third. The final time for the six furlongs was 1:09.50. [VIDEO REPLAY[2]]

Therapist, who has run Lasix-free in both career starts and earned $97,200 from two victories, was foaled at Berkshire Stud[3] in Pine Plains. He is the one of two winners and the first stakes winner out of Lady Renaissance, a winning Kentucky-bred daughter of Sharp Strike.

Owner/breeder Oak Bluff Stables bought Lady Renaissance for $15,000 at the 2009 Keeneland November sale. Her first winner is Gio’s Lady (Gio Ponti), a sophomore who has won twice in California. Lady Renaissance has a weanling full sister to Therapist and was bred this year to Temple City.
