Churchill - Race 2

#6 Decelerator (12/1 ml)

This 2yo firster for Lukas tied for the fastest breeze at the February Ocala sale (9.3). Of particular note, she worked heads-up twice in a row with another February Ocala graduate for Lukas named Tidal Pool (who worked a 9.4, and was purchased for a similar price by these same owners). Tidal Pool came out of those two drills to run a very strong second on Apr 30 behind Feisty Ex, whom i referenced yesterday. Here's the video of that race:

Very reasonable to expect a similar effort here, perhaps a better one considering their respective sale times. Also note that Lukas uses Mena, who also happened to ride Tidal Pool. Looks very live at a very nice price.


HRT record:

56 for 196 (29%)

$472.20 mutuels ($8.43 avg)

    Decelerator returned to win the Debutante Stakes today. Perfect example of the kind of horse i was talking about in our maiden-race discussion not long ago.

    Decelerator paid $12.20 vs. maidens, then pays $4.60 vs. winners in her next start. There was huge value backing her in the maiden race.
