3/10: Gulfstream (6th-9th)

[Kasept]

Intense weekend with Saturday's Stakes-laden action having been the focus of energies. Fair Grounds LA Derby card as pleasureable as was anticipated with winning performances spread generously around: Pyro (Asmussen/Bridgmohan), Proud Spell (Jones/Seaz), Proudinsky Frankel/Gomez), Circular Quay (Pletcher/Gomez), Euroears (Calhoun/Zimmerman) and Danceroftherealm (Pierce/Mena)..

At Aqueduct in the Gotham, Michael Matz' Visionaire emerged late to catch TAP's Texas Wildcatter, but at Gulfstream, it was Clement's Mauralakana catching the pair of Matz longshots at the wire of the Very One.. Earlier at Hallandale, Commentator again demonstrated that when healthy, he remains a devastating force as he crushed overmatched foes in the Richter Scale, and at Oaklawn, frontrunning stalwart Jonesboro did his thing once again for Randy Morse wiring the Razorback..

On the West Coast, Frankel's Ariege upset Barry Abrams' Golden Doc A in the Santa Anita Oaks. Late Saturday in Ess Eff, Autism Awareness, in as remarkable and developing a story as you can imagine, stunned Bay Meadows' El Camino Real Derby at more than 60-1. Purchased for $1,000, Autism Awareness is being campaigned by a couple whose son suffers from the enigmatic developmental affliction..

Sunday, stars Nashoba's Key and Hysterical Lady returned to their winning ways in the Santa Margarita and Azeri respectively, and Brian Lynch saddled the latest late developing Stronach stakes winner as Sring Waltz danced home in the Rampart..

Hope you enjoyed the weekend and did well.. More weekend coverage in my column at Derby Trail.com..
