Archarcharch is the #2 horse here (replay posted above). He came inward a bit leaving the gate, and got bumped pretty hard by the rail horse. Also steadied on the backstretch. Nice effort to work his way through the large field and get up for second. Lots of pace for him to run at today, also. Thanks for the heads-up, King.
Great race and looks like he only wants more distance!
Thanks for the heads-up.
King whats next for this horse?
Archarcharch finished a troubled second in his career debut going seven furlongs at Churchill, and cleared the maiden ranks Saturday at Fair Grounds in the six-furlong Sugar Bowl Stakes, but trainer Jinks Fires said he believes he has a route horse on his hands, and will next try Archarcharch in the one-mile, $100,000 Smarty Jones Stakes on Jan. 17 at Oaklawn Park.
“I think [two turns] is going to be better for him,” said Fires, who reported that Archarcharch came out of his Sugar Bowl win well, and had shipped back to Fires’s base at Oaklawn Park in good order.
Archarcharch, unsurprisingly, is by Arch, who has sired plenty of horses with stamina, among them Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Blame. Archarcharch’s dam, Woodman’s Playmate, was a stakes-class runner who excelled in sprints, though the overall shape of Archarcharch’s pedigree suggests a horse who will at least stay middle distances.
Archarcharch, in fact, was doing his best work late in the Sugar Bowl, collaring pacesetting Joe Hollywood at about the sixteenth pole before drawing away late and galloping out well under Jon Court.
“Jon said he had a lot left in the tank,” Fires said.
Fires did add that the colt's next trip will be in the $100,000 Smarty Jones Stakes, which will be the feature at Oaklawn Park on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 17. Fires and owner, Robert Yagos, have enjoyed some good stakes success at Oaklawn in recent years with the older distance runner, Spotsgone, but have yet to get onto the Triple Crown train together. Judging by tghe early successes of Archarcharch, the Smarty Jones might just be the start of something big for those connections
KOR you hit on the head when you said you didnt like Jon Court,he seemed like indecisive on what to do with AAA.Borel suit this horse perfectly.Too soon too give up on the horse.
ps-im sure you have noticed the HORRENDOUS times... 6f in 1:16 and 1:17 is unacceptable and the horsemen are getting VERY MAD. watch for the track to really be worked on this week. might play a little more speedlike this coming weekend
