Go Go Shoot Scores in Winkfield | |
| By Eric Donovan | January 21, 2008 |
Go Go Shoot quickly sped to the front and never looked back, posting a mild upset ($21.80) in the six-furlong Jimmy Winkfield Stakes by 3 ½ lengths in 1:10. The three-year-old gelding, owned by former Duke University basketball star Bobby Hurley, improved his record to 2-for-3, putting a forgetful effort in the December 12th Capote Stakes behind him. “At the top of the stretch, I had a lot of horse left,” said winning jockey Alan Garcia. “He warmed up perfect, broke perfect and ran perfect.” Finishing behind Go Go Shoot was 8-5 favorite Law N Dora and Accredit. The Winkfield, named for perhaps the best African American jockey of all time, was the feature of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day card. Aqueduct will be dark Tuesday and Wednesday this week with live racing returning Thursday. |
