Y15 YOUTH CHALLENGE

Gallop To The Gallows Stakes

Hello and welcome to the second leg of the Youth Challenge here at The Wire. We saw Barely Smokin' capture the first leg in the Just A Trot Futurity over nine furlongs and in perfect conditions. Will he be able to win over a muddy track today? It's rained for the last few days and the track is sloppy. The temperature is 50 degrees and it has not dried this track out at all even though the rain has halted on this day. For those of you who have stuck with us, we welcome you to the main two year old event at The Wire and are sure that you will be treated to a grand race.

FIRST Incognito (head)
SECOND Uno Momento (nose)
THIRD Barely Smokin (whisker)
FOURTH Night Visions
FIFTH Aphrodite's Chant
SIXTH Avengeable

Half of these horses were variable leg types (thanks ladies XD ) so I had to do some shifting to determine general placement out of the gate. I feel Night Visions took the lead, with Barely Smokin in the preceeder position. Incognito and Aphrodite's Chant were happy to be the middle pack, and Uno Momento and Avengeable brought up the rear. It seemed to even out, almost like three sets of dueling ponies as they raced around the first turn. Everybody started closing up together heading towards midway, with Incognito about to the boxed in. In a bold move his jockey pushed him forward and swung around to the outside of the front runners as Aphrodite's Chant closed up behind the trio. The closers weren't to be left behind and were at her heels. It was truly a wave of juveniles at the end. Night Visions speed fell and Aphrodite got boxed in by the closers. Incognito was able to nab the win from the middle of the track, with a photo finish of Uno Momento way on the outside getting his nose on the wire just before Barely Smokin.
