Barbaro jr -- Lentenor (GP 9th)
 

Morning line 3/1 in the last at GP. How low will he go? I dont have the pps but looks like some nice turf colts routing. A Giants Causway and Tapit colt both opening at double didget odds.

He won at even money. Very nice. 99-1 speed went out, he sat second (#2) on the rail on a good pace, took command at the head of the stretch and pulled away to win by 2 1/2 or so, 1:41.02.

22.89
46.94
1:11.30

The Tapit finished second at 92-1. Yes, yes he did!

The Giant's Causeway didn't do anything.

Pretty impressive performance. Let's see if they decide to go in the Fountain of Youth or continue on the turf trail.

What was going on at the head of the stretch? He had his lead change, but laid in a tad for a stride or two?

I'm guessing just immaturity? This was his third race, right? He's still green.

Glad he won. I make fun of the pretty horsey comments on the Barbaro's Brothers blog on BH, and yet, the only reason I can make fun of them is because I'm there to read every post. :rolleyes:

Watch the replay here.

Some of the other horses coming out of this race should have productive careers as well.

Thank you for the BH link! Yeah, I'm a sucker fan, too :) I agree, just looks like immaturity on the little bobble. He still runs like a kid with his head up in the air :) When he learns to drop it, stretch his back and stride out ... :tro:

I watched the inquiry replays and if you look towards the back on the rail, a horse (I think the 3) almost goes down.

Nice to see Lentenor win and will be interesting to see where he goes from here.

That turf course looks like absolute s_hit! The meet just started and there are tire tracks and dirt spots all over it.You can tell without a doubt where the starting gate goes for a race.That place has really gone downhill.

I think there are a lot of us- I notice the race caller said, "And Lentenor, Barbaro's brother, does it" as Lentenor crossed the finish line. Heh.

Lezcano was listed to ride. does someone know what happened to him?

He took a fall in the fourth.

Gulfstream Race Declared a 'No Contest'

thanks, doesnt look like he will be off for any length of time, very good

And DRF notices the continuing Barbaro love:

Nice article. Too bad about La Ville Rouge aborting the filly, though.
