Domiano Gets Massive Win In Metropolitan Handicap
Domiano has always been a good horse, but keeping him from being considered a great one was his lack of a big win. Down at AQU a couple months ago, he did win the $150.000 Excelsior, which showed his potential to win at this level. Now, he’s a Grade 1 winner after getting the win here in the Metropolitan Handicap.
Late Run Gets It Done for Albaquirky in The Manhattan
Albaquirky seemed like one of the better choices in the Manhattan, and the deep closer was going to make the most of this opportunity to run on a dry track. He had done quite well when it was wet, but now it was time to make a statement that he can handle any kind of weather.
Another Big SAR Win for Starting Over, This Time The Phipps
Starting Over has been in the BC for the last two years, and ran third in the BC Distaff at SA last fall. Now, she knows that she will be heading back for that race again just as long as the trainer, TwinTowersRacing, wants her there as she picked up an impressive two length win in the Grade 1 Phipps at SAR.

The Manhattan Heads North This Weekend
Manhattan is being moved upstate this weekend, as the 21st edition of this Grade 1 turf stake is held at SAR as a part of the BEL racing festival. This means a slight change in the distance, as it will lose one-sixteenth of a mile from it’s traditional length. We can deal with that, and will enjoy the purse increase back to $1,000.000.
