Chester and Mary Broman’s popular New York-homebred Mr. Buff completed a threepeat by romping to a seven-length score in Saturday’s $100,000 Jazil, a nine-furlong open-company test for older horses.

Trained by John Kimmel, the 7-year-old Friend Or Foe gelding tracked the early foot of Musical Heart, who dictated a lone lead following a poor start by favored Backsideofthemoon. Mr. Buff opened up by 3 1/2-lengths at the stretch call and was wrapped up at the wire by meet-leading rider Kendrick Carmouche.

“I don’t think that took too much out of him. He was very happy this morning,” said Kimmel. “We told Kendrick if somebody is intent on going to the lead, don’t take him out of his comfort zone and he would make his way up to them on the backside. I thought the five-horse [Backsideofthemoon] was going to put pressure on him, but he didn’t break sharp and was at a disadvantage.”

Kimmel said the $125,000 Stymie, a one-turn mile for 4-year-olds and up on February 27 at the Big A could be next for Mr. Buff, who now sports a record of 43-16-8-4 with purse earnings of $1,295,786.

A good day was made better for Kimmel when Tobey Morton’s Pacific Gale, a 6-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Flat Out, made the grade in the Grade 2 Inside Information, a six-furlong sprint at Gulfstream Park.

Winning for the first time since an optional-claiming score in October 2018, Kimmel said he was proud of Pacific Gale for performing to her excellent morning works.

“She had been training so good down here that I was very optimistic of a good performance out of her yesterday,” said Kimmel. “It was great to see her perform like that on a big day. She’s been runner-up or third in five graded stakes, so it was nice to see her get the win.”

Kimmel said Pacific Gale, who will eventually be bred to Not This Time, could continue racing this year. Pacific Gale earned a 95 Beyer in victory.

Kimmel said Secret Love, who earned a career-best 72 Beyer last out winning the Franklin Square at 6 1/2-furlongs over fellow state-bred fillies, could point to the open $250,000 Busher Invitational, a one-turn mile for sophomore fillies on March 6 at the Big A.

Owned by Morton with Nedlaw Stable, Kimmel said he would like to keep from entering against stablemate Frost Me in the $100,000 Maddie May on February 20, a one-turn mile for state-bred fillies.

Kimmel previously noted that Secret Love had touted herself for the Franklin Square by besting stablemate Frost Me in a series of works in advance of her stakes debut.

“Maybe one for the Busher and one for the New York-bred race,” said Kimmel. “I’ve worked them together a few times and it seems that she [Secret Love] is the better of the two when they work in company.”

Bred by Sequel Stallions NY and Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, Secret Love was a $270,000 purchase at the 2020 OBS July 2-year-Old Horses of Racing Age Sale.

Whisper Hill Farm's Frost Me, a $175,000 purchase at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Preferred New York-bred Sale, earned a 71 Beyer when besting state-bred optional-claiming company at one-mile on January 8 at the Big A.


Eagle Orb likely for G3 Withers

Trainer Rudy Rodriguez said he will keep stakes winner Eagle Orb in pursuit of Kentucky Derby qualifying points and plans on pointing the New York-bred stakes winner to the Grade 3, $250,000 Withers on February 6 at Aqueduct Racetrack. The Withers offers 10-4-2-1 Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the top-four finishers.

Owned by E. V. Racing Stable, the son of 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb earned four points on the Derby trail when finishing second to Capo Kane in the Jerome on New Year’s Day at the Big A going a one-turn mile.

The Withers will be Eagle Orb’s first start going two turns as he attempts his first overall win past six furlongs. He broke his maiden going three-quarters on August 21 at Saratoga and four starts later won the Notebook on November 14 at Aqueduct going six furlongs.

Eagle Orb last breezed on January 20, completing a five-furlong work in 1:03.07 over the Belmont Park training track.

“We’re going to try for the Withers,” Rodriguez said. “He’s been training very good. Right now is the time to take a chance so that’s the place to go. We just have to keep the dream alive.”

Bred by Barry Ostrager, Eagle Orb is out of the Harlan’s Holiday mare Lady On Holiday and was purchased for $95,000 from the Saratoga Preferred New York-bred Yearling Sale in 2019.

Should Rodriguez’s Derby dreams come alive, Eagle Orb would be his second starter in the Run for the Roses. His first Derby starter was Vyjack, who won the Jerome and Gotham in 2013, and subsequently finished 18th in the Kentucky Derby. 

“He was a nice horse,” Rodriguez said of Vyjack. “He was one of the best horses that we’ve ever trained.”

Rodriguez said he plans on regrouping with Backsideofthemoon, who was fourth beaten 20 lengths following a slow start under Jose Lezcano as the post time favorite for the Jazil. The 9-year-old son of Malibu Moon arrived off a career-best 106 Beyer in the December 19 Queens County at the Big A.

“We’re going to regroup with him,” Rodriguez said. “It looked like he came back good, but I’ll check him out the next couple of days. Before the break he was close to the gate and he came out of the gate a step slow. Jose said he tried to break before the gate opened.”


Nicky the Vest works bullet for $100K Gander

Trainer Jonathan Thomas said Robert V. LaPenta’s Nicky the Vest will point to the $100,000 Gander, a one-turn mile for New York-breds on February 14 at the Big A.

Bred in New York by Highclere, the sophomore son of Runhappy was purchased for $110,000 at the 2019 OBS October Yearling Sale. He worked a bullet half-mile in 48.44 seconds Sunday on the Belmont dirt training track.

The promising bay won gate-to-wire on debut in a one-mile state-bred maiden event on December 18 at the Big A that garnered an 83 Beyer.

“The horse has been training well. He came out of his race in good order,” said Thomas. “He's done everything nicely from a breezing perspective since his first run. We'll circle the Gander on the 14th against New York-breds and so far we're on target.”

Thomas said the Gander fits well into the development program for Nicky the Vest.

“It's a nice progression and the timing is very good in between starts,” said Thomas. “Depending on how he handles the state-bred company it will dictate and determine the next move after that. He still has to face winners and compete in a stake. We're happy with him but he has to take the next step.”

While Runhappy earned Eclipse Award-honors as Champion Sprinter in 2015 following Grade 1 wins in the Kings Bishop at Saratoga Race Course, the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland and the Malibu at Santa Anita, Thomas said he’s not ready to declare Nicky the Vest a one-turn horse.

“I don't know what to make of the Runhappys yet from a distance standpoint,” said Thomas. “He [Runhappy] himself got better as got older so if we're going by that, you could make a case we'll see these Runhappys get better as time goes on. Every sire has a good horse and hopefully he's the one.”

Gale, a 4-year-old daughter of Tonalist owned by LaPenta in partnership with Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, matched a career-best 86 Beyer last out when capturing the one-mile Geisha on January 16 at Laurel Park against fellow Maryland-breds.

Gale, bred by R.S. Evans, notched her first 86 Beyer by wiring a restricted first level allowance in a restricted off-the-turf mile on November 5 at Laurel. She exited that effort to finish fifth in the Grade 3 Comely after a troubled start on November 27 at the Big A.

“That filly had trained super and I was very excited taking her to the Comely,” recalled Thomas. “We had a horrible trip into the first turn and it just didn't work out well. We were happy to see her get it done down there [at Laurel] against state-breds and she did it the right way.

“She's been really consistent,” added Thomas. “We'll let the dust settle and see where we're at, but all options are open at the moment.”

Thomas scratched Augustin Stable homebred Burning Bright from Saturday’s eighth race at the Big A, a nine-furlong allowance tilt for 4-year-olds and up won by Chestertown, after transportation issues prevented the gelding from shipping up from Turfway Park in Kentucky.

Burning Bright instead clocked a half-mile breeze Saturday on the Turfway synthetic in 48.60. The 4-year-old Empire Maker gelding is out of the multiple Grade 1-winning champion Forever Together, who captured the 2008 Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf en route to Eclipse Award-honors as Champion Grass Mare.

Burning Bright, who has made three starts all at Tampa Bay Downs, was no factor in his career debut on turf in March. He followed in April with a good second in a mile and 40 yard maiden special weight ahead of a three-quarter length score at the same distance on May 23 that earned a 74 Beyer.

Thomas said he will eventually try Burning Bright back on the turf.

“He seems to be more of a grinder, more of a dirt style to him,” said Thomas. “I'd like to try him back on the turf but he doesn't seem to have that miler turn of foot on the grass. When we can run him longer we'll have a better gauge of what he's all about.”

Ultimately, Thomas said Burning Bright should appreciate longer distance races in New York later this spring and into the summer.

“I think he's a distance specialist and I just need to get a race under his belt and then he'll end up in New York sooner rather than later,” said Thomas.


Sharp Starr under consideration for G3 Barbara Fritchie

Barry Schwartz’s Sharp Starr, trained by Horacio DePaz, worked a solo half-mile in 48.63 Sunday on the Belmont dirt training track.

"She did a little more than I wanted her to do. She got over the track very good," said DePaz. "She worked after the second break and went well. She usually works by herself. The only time I worked her in company was before the Black-Eyed Susan. Other than that, she's always maintained by herself."

DePaz said the 4-year-old New York-homebred daughter of Munnings is under consideration for the Grade 3, $250,000 Barbara Fritchie, a seven-furlong test for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up slated for February 13 at Laurel Park.

With a record of 10-3-3-2, Sharp Starr graduated at fourth asking in July at Belmont. Following a good third in the nine-furlong Fleet Indian in September at Saratoga, Sharp Starr was off-the-board in the nine-furlong Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan on October 3 at Pimlico.

Sharp Starr turned heads when turned back in distance on November 7 at the Big A garnering a career-best 101 Beyer in a 15 3/4-length romp in a one-turn allowance mile against fellow state-bred fillies.

She has made her last two starts on off-tracks at Aqueduct, making the grade in the Grade 3 Go for Wand over sloppy going on December 5 ahead of a last-out second to Mrs. Orb in the La Verdad on a muddy strip on January 3.

"She caught those two wet tracks and they weren't bad efforts, but a fast track would probably be better for her," said DePaz. "She's doing really well. She came out of that last race in good order and we're really happy with how she's doing.”

Another possibility for Sharp Starr is the $125,000 Heavenly Prize Invitational, a one-turn miles for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up on March 6 at the Big A.

“We'll see how she's doing and how the weather is coming up to those races and go from there,” said DePaz.

DePaz is off to a good start at the Aqueduct winter meet with four wins and two seconds from 13 starts.

“We've had a good start to the meet and hopefully we can keep the momentum going,” said DePaz.


Weyburn to target $100K Jimmy Winkfield

Trainer Jimmy Jerkens said Chiefswood Stables homebred Weyburn will target next Sunday’s $100,000 Jimmy Winkfield, a seven-furlong test for 3-year-olds.

By Pioneerof the Nile, the Ontario-bred colt earned a 69 Beyer when graduating at third asking over a sloppy Aqueduct main track on December 5 when sprinting seven furlongs.

Weyburn worked five furlongs in a swift 1:00.10 Friday morning on the Belmont dirt training track.

“He worked good. He should be ready,” said Jerkens on Saturday ahead of winning the day’s fifth race with Advanced Strategy. “The track is a lot different here [at Aqueduct] than it is at home. It's been a little slower here, I hope he handles it.”

Jerkens said he had initially considered the one-mile Jerome for Weyburn on New Year’s Day at the Big A, but the colt missed training with a minor illness.

The veteran conditioner, who won the 2001 renewal of the Jimmy Winkfield with Put It Back, said he will also nominate Weyburn, as a backup plan, to the nine-furlong Grade 3, $250,000 Withers on February 6.

“I want to take it gradual with him. We'll nominate to the Withers just in case,” said Jerkens, who won the Withers in 2000 with Big E E.

Out of the A.P. Indy mare Sunday Affair, Weyburn is a half-brother to the versatile multiple graded stakes winner Yorkton.


Pico d’Oro to ship in for $100K Jimmy Winkfield

Trainer William Morey confirmed two-time winner Pico d’Oro for Sunday’s $100,000 Jimmy Winkfield at the Big A.

Owned by Gerry Sandin’s Sandin Syndicate Stable, the bay son of Curlin broke his maiden at third asking against stakes company in Ellis Park’s Runhappy Juvenile on August 9. Following three off-the-board placings, Pico d’Oro regained his form when making his first start over a synthetic track a winning one when defeating winners going six furlongs on December 18 at Turfway Park.

Pico d’Oro breezed five furlongs in 1:01.40 on Saturday at Turfway Park.

“We’re planning on coming up. He worked great yesterday at Turfway and we’ve got Kendrick Carmouche to ride him,” Morey said.

Bred in Kentucky by Southern Equine Stables and Southern Equestrian Stable, Pico d’Oro is out of the Bernardini mare Michelle d’Oro, whose dam was two-time Grade 1-winner Champagne d’Oro – the winner of the Acorn and Test on the NYRA circuit in 2010. He also comes from the same family as 2011 Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice.

Morey did not rule out sending Pico d’Oro back to two turns at some point in the future. In seven starts, Pico d’Oro’s lone race over two turns took place in a Keeneland allowance optional claiming event on October 3, where he was fifth beaten 15 ½ lengths.

“We might try it sometime down the road but for now, six to seven furlongs is good for him. That’s why we’re going up there.”

Pico d’Oro was purchased for $255,000 from last year’s OBS March 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, where he was consigned by Eddie Woods.

Morey said he could be back in New York later this year with New York-bred Hush of a Storm, who has won two straight races at Turfway Park. The 3-year-old son of Creative Cause bred by Berkshire Stud graduated at second asking over the all weather surface before besting winners on January 6 three-quarters of a length last out.

“He’s run two good races in a row and he’s one who could end up going to New York later in the year,” Morey said.


Texas Basin seeks first stakes score in Jimmy Winkfield

R.A. Hill Stable and BlackRidge Stables’ Texas Basin, trained by George Weaver, worked five-eighths in 1:01.80 Saturday on the Belmont dirt training track.

Texas Basin is probable for Sunday’s Jimmy Winkfield, but assistant trainer Blair Golen noted the colt could cross-enter in a Friday allowance tilt at Laurel Park.

“He worked great,” said Golen. “He went a solo five-eighths and I was really happy with it. He's an honest horse. I usually work him in company but to have him work farther by himself and maintain focus was good. There is a spot at Laurel we'll look at the day before, but we won't rule out the Jimmy Winkfield.”

The sophomore son of Successful Appeal, a $250,000 purchase at the 2019 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, graduated at second asking in an off-the-turf maiden sprint in October at Belmont Park.

Texas Basin made his stakes debut with an off-the-board effort in the Atlantic Beach travelling six furlongs on the Big A turf. The turf-bred bay, whose second dam produced multiple graded turf stakes winner Ageless, has made his last two starts sprinting six furlongs on the Laurel Park dirt which includes a fourth in the James F. Lewis III and a last-out third in an optional-claiming tilt on December 11.

“He ran respectable on turf first time out and then it rained off the turf and he won. We ran him back on it and he didn't like it,” said Golen. “We ran him right back in the stake at Laurel and he ran very well and came back there and ran well again.”


Stan the Man could be G3 Toboggan bound; Funny Guy possible for G3 General George

Long Lake Stable’s Stan the Man started his 7-year-old campaign with a runner-up effort in the Gravesend going 6 ½ furlongs over a muddy and sealed Aqueduct track on January 2.

The Broken Vow gelding could make another stakes appearance at the Big A this month in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Toboggan for 4-year-olds and up going seven furlongs, trainer John Terranova said.

“He’s been consistent and doing he’s doing well,” Terranova said. “He’ll have a little workout tomorrow and we’ll see how things look and decide on the race for certain after that, but right now, we’re looking good for it.”

Stan the Man, stabled at Belmont, recorded his first workout since the Gravesend on January 18, breezing four furlongs in 50.02 seconds over the dirt training track. He made six starts in 2020, going 1-2-1, with a stakes win in the Tale of the Cat in August at Saratoga and runner-up efforts in the Grade 2 True North at Belmont and Grade 3 Fall Highweight Handicap at Aqueduct.

The Toboggan, the first graded stakes of 2021 on the NYRA docket, will have its draw on Wednesday.

His stablemate, Funny Guy, was originally listed as a probable for the Toboggan, but Terranova said he could instead point the 5-year-old multiple stakes winner to the Grade 3, $250,000 General George on February 13 at Laurel Park as part of the track’s annual Winter Carnival.

“He looks great, we’re just not too sure what to do with him right now. We’re leaning towards a race like the General George,” Terranova said.

Funny Guy, a New York bred owned by Gatsas Stables, R.A. Hill Stable and Swick Stable, has won five stakes for Terranova, including three last year with scores in the Commentator, John Morrissey and the New York Stallion Stakes Series Thunder Rumble.

Bred by Hibiscus Stables, Funny Guy is 17-6-6-0 in his career.

Eric Fein’s Original will return to turf after being eased in the Jerome on New Year’s Day at the Big A.

The sophomore Quality Road colt started his career on the main track, running eighth over Belmont’s Big Sandy on October 11. Switched to turf for the first time, Original wired an 11-horse field to post a two-length win in a 1 1/16-mile maiden route on November 14 at Aqueduct.

With a five-horse field in the Jerome, which offered 10-4-2-1 qualifying points towards the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby, Terranova said he wanted to try the main track with him one more time but will now focus solely on grass, where he has showed talent in earning a 74 Beyer for his maiden-breaking victory.

“He’s going back to the turf, he’s strictly grass now,” Terranova said. “We saw a night and day difference between the dirt and the turf, so we won’t be seeing him on the dirt anymore. His second start, he looked amazing on the grass. The Jerome came up a small and short field and he trains very well on the dirt. But he’s a good, athletic colt, and he trained well on the dirt.”

Terranova will send Original down to Gulfstream Park to run in the one-mile Grade 3, $100,000 Kitten’s Joy on Saturday.

Curragh Stables’ B C Glory Days earned blacktype in his debut, running third in an eight-horse maiden field on January 16 going a one-turn mile at the Big A. A $170,000 purchase at the 2020 Ocala Breeders’ 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, B C Glory Days was the pacesetter for the eight-horse field before being outkicked in the stretch, finishing just a half-length back to winner It’s Gravy.

“He did all the heavy lifting,” Terranova said. “He had a couple of nice 3-year-old New York breds who had run several times before outside of him giving him a lot of pressure, and those were the ones who got him. He was a bit up against the rail and never really got a breather going a mile first-time out. He ran very well.

“He’s a real nice horse and will move way forward off that effort,” he added. “We’ll see him move right up the ladder if everything goes well.”

Terranova said B C Glory Days could target another maiden event shortly.


Finley pleased with ever-improving Chestertown

Owner Terry Finley of West Point Thoroughbreds said he was delighted to see his top-notch pedigree boasting New York-bred Chestertown piece two solid wins together after he successfully defeated open company in a nine-furlong Aqueduct allowance event on Saturday at the Big A for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen.

Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds in partnership with breeders Chester and Mary Broman, Woodford Racing, Siena Farm and Robert Masiello, the 4-year-old son of Tapit out of two-time Grade 1-winning New York-bred Artemis Agrotera kept a perfect record at the Big A afloat now having won all three of his starts over the Queens County oval.

He arrived at Saturday’s triumph, his first against open company, off a three-length victory going a one-turn mile against his New York-bred counterparts on December 6 at the Big A. He broke his maiden at second asking in December 2019 by 2 ¾ lengths at Aqueduct. His lone victory away from the Big A was in the September 4 Albany going nine furlongs at Saratoga.

“We were all very excited. This was another big step forward,” Finley said. “We’ll see where we go from here. He’s a good horse so it’s nice to see him put together two solid races back to back like he did.”

Finley said he plans on taking his time with Chestertown, but that some open company stakes action could be in his future down the road.

“I know Steve and his team were thinking about running in a stake, but we wanted to take advantage of this spot,” Finley said. “The purse money for New York-breds against open company was something to advantage of. Everything went according to plan.”

Finley noted that Chestertown has taken multiple mental leaps forward, which has been put on display on the racetrack.

“It seems like his mind is in the right spot,” Finley said. “He wasn’t very mature early on in his races and sometimes he would get really rank. Since we bought him, he’s been saddled with some high expectations. They don’t all come around as quickly as you want them to, but it’s better late than never at all.”

Finley said that the enhanced purse structure at Aqueduct and running for added money against open company was enticing to keep Chestertown in his native state as opposed to shipping him to Fair Grounds or Oaklawn Park, where Asmussen heavily operates during winter and early springtime. Last year, Chestertown raced three times at Fair Grounds with his best effort at the New Orleans oval being a close second in a nine-furlong allowance.

“[NYTHA president] Joe Appelbaum tweeted last night that if there were ever a posterchild for winter racing at Aqueduct, it would be Chestertown,” Finely said. “In the winter, we could have gone to Fair Grounds or Oaklawn Park with the horse, but because the purses are so good for New York-breds we wanted to keep him up there to run for some added money. Kudos to the horseman and to NYRA, who revamped the New York-bred program in the winter.”

Through a lifetime record of 11-4-3-1, Chestertown has banked $254,415 in earnings. He was acquired for $2 million from the OBS March 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale in 2019, where he was consigned by Sequel Bloodstock.

Finley went on to speak of Grade 1-winner Decorated Invader, who is in light training at Payson Park in South Florida for trainer Christophe Clement.

Owned by West Point in partnership with William Sandbrook, William Freeman and Cheryl Manning, the son of Declaration of War won the Grade 1 Summer at Woodbine as a 2-year-old before winning two more graded stakes during his 2020 campaign on the NYRA circuit. He last raced in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby, finishing fifth.

“Right now, he’s just been jogging at Payson Park, but Clement and his team will have him galloping soon,” Finley said. “We’re not in a big hurry and we’re really excited about the second part of the year with him. He should be ready around sometime in April.”


Cross Country Pick 5 returns $1,111; handles $70K

The first Cross Country Pick 5 of 2021 featuring action from Aqueduct Racetrack, Oaklawn Park and Tampa Bay Downs on Saturday paid $1,111.75 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager. The sequence's total pool was $70,645.

Aqueduct started the wager when Chestertown rewarded his favoritism by posting a four-length score in a 1 1/8-mile allowance tilt in Race 8. Trained by Steve Asmussen and ridden by Jose Lezcano, Chestertown returned $5.20 on a $2 win wager.

Another favorite, Outasite, captured the second leg with a 2 ¼-length win in a six-furlong maiden special weight in Oaklawn’s Race 5. Outasite, conditioned by Brad Cox and ridden by Florent Geroux, paid $3.80.

Tampa Bay got into the action with the third leg, as Blue Cat, at 10-1 odds, drew away by 3 ½ lengths in a maiden race for sophomores in Race 10. Trained by Brendan Walsh and ridden by Alonso Quinonez, Blue Cat returned $22.40.

Oaklawn hosted the final two legs, with even-money favorite Swiftsure adding another win for Asmussen in Race 7. Ricardo Santana, Jr. guided Swiftsure to a 3 1/2-length victory, for which he paid $4.

Cox tallied another win when Getridofwhatailesu took the finale with a rallying 1 ½-length win in the $150,000 Pippin in Oaklawn’s Race 8. Under urging from jockey Joseph Rocco, Jr., Getridofwhatailesu ran down three competitors in the stretch for the victory at 8-1 odds, paying $19.20.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on track, on ADW platforms, and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

The Cross Country Pick 5 will continue each Saturday throughout the year. For more information, visit NYRABets.com.
