MLs for the 2nd leg of the Big Apple Triple (NY breds)
1) 9/2....Catienus/Silver Sonnet - Silver Deputy 2) 20/1...Mayakovsky/Fightforwhatsright - Petionville 3) 1/2....Crusader Sword/Twice Forbidden - Spectacular Bid 4) 6/1....Officer/Jerome's Folly - Turkoman 5) 7/2....Mayakovsky/Aristie - Loustrous Bid 6) 15/1...Judge T C/Pretty Quick - Crafty Prospector Undefeated 5-0 Tin Cup Chalice, 1/2 brother to 2004 NY Derby winner and NY sire Don Corleone, returns to his home track. He won the Mike Lee S. 7F @ Belmont, the first leg of the BA Triple. No NY bred has ever swept the series for the $250,000 bonus. Interestingly, 4 entries are homebreds. 5 out of the 6 entries are/were by NY based sires. Last edited by sumitas : 07-11-2008 at 06:34 PM.

He's now 6 for 6. A very nice NYB 3yo. Parrotheads rejoice!
 I hadn't realized until I looked at that link that he's a 1/2 to Don Corleone who won the NY Derby in an upset a few years ago.

I can't comment on today's race, as I didn't even see the pps, but he sure benefited from a slow pace in the Mike Lee.

The field was not the strongest, with the upper-tier NY-breds Giant Moon, Icabad Crane and Big Truck recovering from their respective Triple Crown efforts. It'll be interesting to see if any of them show up for the Albany. If so, he'll get a much better challenge.

The Albany usually brings the class as it's 9f and (as parsix mentioned) it draws the nicer 3yo's who have tried the elite levels.
I agree with Andy that he's not likely to win the Big Apple Triple but he's a fun horse to root for and h*ll, I love the song!

The Albany S. started in 1978. The Big Apple Triple began in 1999. Winners of the Albany since then have been Gander, Grataien, Personal Pro, Private Emblem, Traffic Chief, West Virginia, Naughty New Yorker, Indian Hawke, and Stunt Man.
It will be an uphill battle for TCC but I do give him credit for his gutsy stretch run yesterday. Winning the first 2 legs has netted $161,580 in purse money plus $20,000 in breeder's awards and $11,310 in owner's awards. That's a total of $192,890 for the connections. Michael Laccese is the trainer/breeder/part owner of Tin Cup Chalice.
