| Justin Phillip and Valezquez |
A grade 1 thoroughbred horse racing event held at Saratoga Race Course at the Saratoga Springs witnessed the classic example of how jockey’s skills pay-off at a given race. The Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Handicap was named after well known owner who had served as the chairman of the Now York Association Board.
The six furlong sprint was won by Justin Phillip who had missed the title last year by a neck. August 4 the dark bay colt defeated Bahamian Squall, Gentlemen’s Bet and Delaunay. Even though I had my favorite as Gentlemen’s Bet, Justin Phillip gave a run for his life!
The five year old son of First Samurai and Ava Knowsthecode, trained by Steven Asmusssen was seen to fight out to victory when jockey John Valezquez kicked him into gear after the turn for home; sidelining his competition into the inside he ran the outside at the final sixteenth, timing 1:08.59 with a two length victory.
Other experienced jockey were Luis Saez aboard runner up Bahamian Squall, Joel Rosario leading Gentlemen’s Bet into third, Rosie Napravnik partnered with Delaunay placing forth and Javier Castellano leading Caixa Eletronica into fifth .
All of the above mentioned jockeys were at their best during this race however, the winner Valezquez was particularly happy with his running.
In a news article given by Horse Blood, Valezquez had said; "The speed developed the way I expected it would," Velazquez reported. "I was right behind those two horses (Gentlemen's Bet and Delaunay), and I was aware of the horse that was inside (Bahamian Squall), so I kind of got him pinned down in there. I made my move around the three-sixteenths pole, and he responded."
Winning his first title from a career of 5 starts, the five year old had recently been run down by Bahamian Squall at the Calder Casino & Race Course at the Smile Sprint Handicap dated July 6.
Reading about the talented Valezquez, I tried my hand being a jockey at fantasy horse race game. Predominantly, I preferred being the trainer playing the game online, but this time I am willing to take on the challenge as a jockey to my champion horses.
