The Nearctic Stakes-GII (P1)
WO Race 2 6F- Turf
Purse $250.000
Three Year Olds and Up
1st Great Bounty, trained by Drabfantasy
Now here we have the winner from Drabfantasy and I am not going to lie it kind of shocked me because I thought this six furlong distance would be too short for him because he had been running a mile and a half. He ran a very good race though. He ran in 1:08.03 and earned $150.000.
2nd Gleaming Spirit, trained by Mb Stables
This horse ran pretty good also as he was flying late to get up for second and he ended up only getting beat by three quarters of a length. He was far back early and was really rolling late and he almost got to the winner. He ran a very good race and he sure does have some late kick in him.
3rd The Grandmaster, trained by Team 7 Illusions
Now this horse right here also ran a very impressive race because he tried to win this race from the lead and he didn’t throw in the towel that easy. He fought all the way and then was passed by the top two finishers but he only got beat by three quarters of a length in the end. He ran a very good race.
4th Awesome Indeed, trained by TwinTowers Racing
Now this horse also ran a very good race and he ended up getting beat only by a length in the end. He sat about midpack most of the way and didn’t necessarily make much of a rally but he did make up a little bit of a run at them. He only got beat by a length so he ran pretty good and it was a good race from him.
Summary
Well it was a pretty good race but I didn’t see the winner being the horse the horse that won because he was cutting way back in distance and he didn’t look like a winner to me. He ran a very good race and it was an impressive run from him. Congratulations to Great Bounty and Drabfantasy.
