Way to go Lentenor! He scored an impressive win on Sunday in the eighth at Parx and the replay for the race is here. Sorry no sharing capabilities until someone puts it up on youtube!
If you watch the replay you will see a very mature and muscular Lentenor, looking quite stunning. He ran a fabulous race and got a great ride when a hole along the inside opened up and he went right through. Then he went around horses down the stretch and closed impressively under a predominant hand ride. How wonderful to see the Jacksons back in the winner's circle!
Of course the questions are inevitable. Was it the new trainer, the new jockey or just a weak field? We won't know until his next start but from what I saw it looks like the new training regime is suiting him just fine. No holding him back or letting him go--just a steady hand guiding him to get around obstacles and find the wire. I think all is well with our boy and he seems in most capable hands.
A good day of racing with Coil making an equally impressive stretch run to win the Haskell for Bob Baffert, giving him his fifth Haskell winner. Talk about jockey composure. Watch that replay and see where Coil broke--in the number one hole and it seemed as if he went backwards for a few yards.
Not to worry. The jockey steadied him and put him back in gear, going five horses wide down the stretch to catch the surging Shackleford. A good race. Nice coverage by ABC and Saratoga beckons! The summer racing season is heating up!
