West Coast Party got to the wire first in the Palos Verdes, but Tiz Trippi didn’t make it easy for him. Tiz Trippi took the lead early and didn’t want to give it up. The two fought it out down the stretch. At the wire, it was West Coast Party by a neck. Both geldings earned 102 SRFs for their efforts.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 West Coast Party (Martyparty) Hard-earned victory by a neck.

2 Tiz Trippi (Rock Creek) Yielded to the winner in the shadow of the wire.

3 Stormy Liberal (Big Guns Stables) Made a late run but came up short.

4 Tiger Shark (Arindel) Mid-pack most of the way, didn’t have enough kick in the end.

5 Iron Mine (Fractious) Another late run. Could do no better than a tie for fifth.

5 Audioslave (Alydar Stables) Trailed early, got up to tie for fifth.

7 Rogue Commando (Mb Stables) Never a factor.

8 Hard Discretion (TwinTowersRacing) Close early but faded to eighth.

9 Sweet Sweet Sweet (Night Rider Stables) Led early, then faded to last.

Martyparty’s homebred is by King Party out of West Coast Cars (Pinnacle West). The win brings his career earnings to $487.940. Congratulations to Martyparty and West Coast Party!
