Mo Mentum Wins The Woodhaven

The Woodhaven
1 1/16 Mile Inner Turf Stake Purse $100.000 Open 3 Year Olds.

1st Mojave Rattler Mo Mentum Farm Lezcano J

The off track and an easy early lead certainly suited this gelding who ran a very intelligent race by letting the wide gate speed push unwind on the runner up and not contesting and then easily pulling away from him later on. This was a solid performance and he is certainly up to a small grade three down the line especially as the three year old weight allowance comes in from now on in the stakes races.

The wide gate speed push kicked in after this one started slowly and that extra effort certainly told late on. In the circumstances this was a good effort and the first two were very dominant.

Didnt really make much impression on the first two but won the race for third well enough. I am not sure he was inconvenienced by the off track so this was a pretty average performance in the end and i wonder whether gelding him will improve his concentration and enthusiasm.

4th Confined Mb Stables Franco M

Whilst gelding can help some this one was certainly still feeling the scar and ran a pretty poor race considering he was proven on this sort of off track. I have no idea why he ran so badly but he will need to step up next time after this disappointment.
