Today is Sunday and I am just about to head to Keeneland for the third day in a row! I always have such a nice time there. Our handicapper friend drew my attention to today’s 6th race.
“Beach Walk (horse #9) was a pricey filly purchased for $435,000 and over 4 times the price of the stud fee of $100,000 for Distorted Humor. Catalano (trainer) is heating up after a slow start this meet and this filly looks like she has been very fast in the morning”, he says. Beach Walk has never raced before. She is 2 years old and she will have Brian Joseph Hernandez, Jr. for her jockey. He has won multiple graded stakes including the Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2013 with Fort Larned. He has an Eclipse award as well. Wayne Catalano is the trainer. He is from Louisiana and has trained multiple stakes winners and 3 Breeders’ Cup winners including Stephanie’s Kitten. Gary and Mary West own Beach Walk. Race 6 today (10/18/15) is a Maiden Filly race for 2 year olds. It is 6 furlongs and has a purse of $65,000. Post time is 3:51 PM EST.
Now, I’m off to the races!
Update: Beach Walk ran most of the race in the top 3, leading in a brief moment near the end, to show third in a photo finish!
