The French Eclipse Grant Stakes

Grant Stakes
7 Furlongs Dirt Stake Purse $100.000 Open 3 Year Olds And Up Foaled In CA.

1st French Eclipse D J C Racing Stables Delgadillo A

The last 3 works said it all about this one as he improved almost a second in his works. Four year olds get a boost at the end of the year as they head into next season as five year olds and this one has got a healthy one. This makes three out of four wins for the new owner since they claimed this horse for fifty dollars we are only left to ponder what went wrong in his last race but clearly he is on the up and could be an interesting prospect for next season.

2nd Johannes Eastern Equine Baze T C

Finished nicely into second and continues to race as a honest sort who must pick up a win in this grade sooner rather than later.

3rd Rootin Tootin TwinTowersRacing Pereira T J

The outside speed push made this one make the running and rather predictably he weakened late and ended up third following the script which we seem to see far too often.

4th Yanworth Night Rider Stables Talamo J

Only a length behind in the end the jury is still out as to which surface he prefers although i think he may be a length better on turf.
