Jalen Journey Wins Second Stakes Through DQ And Upsets Chesapeake

The 7-year-old Florida-bred Jalen Journey has never crossed the finish line first in a stakes but earned his second black type victory through the disqualification of the winner on Aug. 16 at Colonial Downs when he was placed first in the $150,000 Chesapeake.

Last September, Jalen Journey finished second to Wondrwherecraigis in the Grade 3 DeFrancis Dash at Laurel Park but was given the victory when officials took down the latter for interference in the stretch.

Let go at odds of 16-1 in the six furlong Chesapeake, Jalen Journey paid $35.20 on a $2 win ticket while winning in his first start for trainer Norm Cash and owner Built Wright Stables LLC. Cash and Built Wright Stable claimed Jalen Journey for $50,000 out of a winning effort against second level optional claimers at Colonial on July 27.

Ridden by Angel Arroyo from post two, Jalen Journey broke quickly with Arthur’s Hope and 6-5 favorite Just Might before settling in third behind those two as they went the first quar-

ter-mile in a quick :22 flat.

Just Might and Arthur’s Hope continued to fight it out around the far turn with Jalen Journey still tracking in third as Necker Island began to advance from midpack with a three-wide move. Just Might and Arthur’s Hope turned for home together after a half-mile in :43.98 as Jalen Journey shifted to the three path and Necker Island and Factor It In continued their assault on the far outside.

Just Might, Jalen Journey, Factor It In and Necker Island were four across the track at the eight-pole before Jalen Journey and Necker Island separated from the others and fought to the wire.

Necker Island finished a neck in front of Jalen Journey but the stewards disqualified the winner for bearing in on Factor It In and Jalen Journey in the stretch.

The official order of finish had Jalen Journey the winner with Factor It In second and Necker Island third. Just Might, Torontotoro, Arthur’s Hope, Mucho, Vero and Boldor competed the order of finish.

Jalen Journey is a brown ridgling by With Distinction out the unraced Petunia Face, by Congrats. He has now won 10 of 22 career starts with three seconds and a third with earnings of $662,445. He was bred in Florida by Dennis Foster and Edward Pendray and was a $14,000 yearling at the 2016 Ocala Breeders’ Sales August Sale where Randy Bradshaw as agent picked him out of the Kim Harrison consignment.

Petunia Face also produced four winners including Puerto Rican multiple stakes-winner Derek Adrian. She also has Fortheloveofart, an unraced 2-year-old colt by Ocala Stud stallion Noble Bird and an unnamed yearling colt by Blame. This year she was bred to Daredevil.

Jalen Journey was a $510,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Horse of Racing Age Sale in 2019 were he was consigned by Four Star Sales and purchased by J. Raymie Lightner as agent.

Cuban Cobra Rebounds to Win Canadian Juvenile

Second to Readytotapnsing as the odds-on favorite last out in the $39,042 Martin Deerline Juvenile on July 29 at Century Mile in his second career start, Florida-bred Cuban Cobra made amends on Aug. 19 over the same oval, winning the $38,619 Canadian Juvenile by three-and-three-quarter lengths ahead of the same foe.

The Canadian Juvenile featured a field of eight 2-year-olds going six furlongs. Cuban Cobra and jockey Enrique Gonzalez broke on top and quickly established a length lead before It’s a Fact and Lil Zapper hurried up to make it a three-horse battle for the lead down the backstretch.

After a quarter-mile in :22.37, Cuban Cobra put a head in front from between horses with It’s a Fact second to the outside and Lil Zapper still in contention on the rail.

Around the far turn, Cuban Cobra shook free to lead by a length ahead of It’s a Fact in second as Laun took over the third spot from another length-and-a-half back.

Cuban Cobra showed the way passing the quarter-pole while clicking off a half-mile in :45.17 and began to pull away from his rivals down the stretch as Readytotapnsing took over second with a late run from sixth.

Cuban Cobra finished the six furlongs in 1:10.73 with Readytotapnsing finishing two lengths faster than It’s a Fact in third. They were followed in order by Smart Cat, Lahun, It Can’t Hurt, Lil Zapper and Rememberthealamo.

Cuban Cobra paid $5.70 to win as the second choice behind the runner-up, who was the 3-2 favorite.

Trained by Tim Rycroft for Crystal Cates and Gonzalo Anderson, Cuban Cobra is by Flat Out out of A E Phi Sensation, by Johannesburg and was bred by Moonshine Meadow Ranch. A E Phi Sensation was an $11,000 purchase by Moonshine Meadow Ranch at the 2012 Keeneland November Sale after retiring as a winner on the track.

Cuban Cobra is the second stakes-winner at Century Mile for A E Phi Sensation, who also produced 2021 Century Mile Handicap and Don Getty Handicap-winner Greek Geek, by Misremembered.

She has four winners, two black type, from four foals and four starters.

The dark bay or brown colt won his first start against special weight maidens at Century Mile by eight-and-a-quarter lengths over five furlongs on July 16 and has now won two of three starts with earnings of $38,812. n

Time Passage First Winner for Tunwoo

Laurie Plesa and Glassman Racing LLC’s Time Passage gave Bridlewood Farm freshman sire Tunwoo his first winner on Aug. 19 at Gulfstream Park when she won a Florida-bred maiden special weight by two-and-three-quarter lengths after five-and-a-half furlongs.

Trained by Edward Plesa and ridden by Kevin Krigger, Time Passage had to catch early leader The Mrs, who took a length lead on the former into the far turn before finishing the first quarter-mile in :22.09.

Time Passage took advantage of the inside track and shook free at the top of the stretch to finish in 1:05.13 on the fast track with The Mrs finishing second by a nose ahead of Atomically.

It was the second career start for Time Passage, who finished fifth behind winner Go Lil Lady in her first start under the same conditions at four-and-a-half furlongs on June 9.

Time Passage is out of the stakes-winning mare Saving Time, by Kantharos and was bred by Baoma Corp.

Tunwoo is by Medaglia d’Oro out of Sea Gift by A.P. Indy and stood the 2022 season for a fee of $4,000. n

Violent Turbulence Shakes Up Parx Dash

Florida-bred Violent Turbulence sent a tremor through the $200,000 Parx Dash on Aug. 23 with a three-and-a-quarter-length victory at odds of 12-1 after leading at every pole.

Trained by Kathleen Demasi for Pewter Stable and Spedale Family Racing LLC, the 5-year-old gelding entered the five-furlong Parx Dash under main track only conditions and remained in the seven-horse field when the race was moved off the turf.

Violent Turbulence breaking on top from post five with jockey Silvestre Gonzalez up, was quick to establish control ahead of 42-1 longshot Extreme Force to his outside after 4-5 favorite Doc Amster started a step slow from post six.

Violent Turbulence extended his lead to a length-and-a-half around the turn ahead of Extreme Force in second while clicking off the first quarter-mile in :22.43 and stretching his advantage to two lengths before turning for home. Violent Turbulence was three-and-a-half lengths in front in deep stretch as Extreme Force continued to pursue through a half-mile in :45.74 and Doc Amster moved into third from two lengths farther back.

Violent Turbulence finished in :57.95 on the fast track with Extreme Force holding second, nearly four lengths clear of Doc Amster in third. They were followed, in order, by War Tocsin, Midtowncharlybrown, Scuttlebuzz and Runningwscissors. Will Call, Justwaveandsmile, The Connector and The Critical Way were all off-the-turf scratches.

Violent Turbulence paid $26.40 to win and the $2 exacta with Extreme Force paid a whopping $430.60.

It was the first career start and first lifetime victory against stakes company for Violent Turbulence, who had just won a second level, $35,000 optional claiming at six furlongs at Parx on July 13 in his previous start. He now has six wins in 18 starts with

three thirds and the $115,800 first-place check pushed his career earnings to $274,975.

Violent Turbulence is by Violence out of T’as d’Beaux Yeux, by Desert Party and was bred by Beckie K. Cantrell and Charles Kent Cantrell. He was purchased by Pewter Stable for $40,000 out of the All Dreams Equine consignment at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales March Sale in 2019. He also sold at OBS as a yearling during their October Sale when Nicolas Bloodstock went to $25,000 to buy him out of the Beth Bayer consignment.

Violent Turbulence is the first foal out of T’as d’Beaux Yeux, her only winner from two starters and four foals including an unnamed yearling filly by Enticed and a weanling filly by Complexity. She was bred to Cutting Humor in 2022.

In 11 runnings of the Parx Dash, Violent Turbulence is the fifth Florida-bred winner. Tightend Touchdown won the race under handicap conditions in 2015 while Pure Sensation is a threetime winner having triumphed in 2016, ’17 and ’19. n

State Argues for Seminole Gambling Deal

Pointing to “enormous economic benefits,” Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office on Aug. 24 urged a federal appeals court to overturn a ruling that blocked a gambling deal between the state and the Seminole Tribe.

Lawyers in Moody’s office filed a 32-page brief at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, arguing that a district judge erred last year when she ruled that the deal ran afoul of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which regulates gambling on tribal lands. U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich focused on part of the agreement, known as a compact, that would have allowed the Seminole Tribe to operate sports betting in Florida.

The plan was designed to allow gamblers throughout the state to place bets online, with the bets run through computer servers on tribal property. The compact said bets made anywhere in Florida “using a mobile app or other electronic device, shall be deemed to be exclusively conducted by the tribe.”

But Friedrich said the deal violated the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act because it would allow gambling off tribal property. She ruled Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whose agency oversees Indian gambling issues, erred when she allowed the deal to go into effect last summer.

The Department of the Interior this month urged the appeals court to reinstate the compact. The state’s friend-of-the-court brief Wednesday also called for reinstatement, saying that betting off tribal property is addressed by state law. It said the judge’s conclusion included an incorrect premise that the “compact itself authorizes online sports betting throughout Florida.

To the contrary, Florida state law independently authorizes such betting included in the compact, and whether that state law comports with Florida’s Constitution does not control whether the secretary’s deemed approval was lawful.

The compact, negotiated by Gov. Ron DeSantis and ratified by the Legislature, was expected to bring in $2.5 billion for the state during the first five years. It also included allowing the tribe to offer craps and roulette at its casinos and to add three casinos on its property in Broward County.

“The 2021 compact provides enormous economic benefits to both the state of Florida and the tribe,” Wednesday’s brief said. “And that compact is lawful.” -- Courtesy The News Service of Florida n

Boppy O Upset Winner of With Anticipation

John C. Oxley and Breeze Easy LLC’s Boppy O bounced back from a tenth-place finish in the Grade 3 Sanford won by Mo Strike on July 16 to take his turf debut in the Grade 3 With Anticipation at Saratoga Race Course on Aug. 31 at odds of 23-1.

Trained by Mark Casse, the Florida-bred colt debuted at

This demonstrates how vital Florida-breds are to the success of Tampa Bay Downs. Additional good news for Florida breeders—75% of those Florida-bred winners during the Tampa Bay Meeting were sired by Florida stallions.

Florida-breds: Race ‘Em or Chase ‘Em

Gulfstream Park with a length-and-a-half victory against special weight maidens at five furlongs in May before traveling to Saratoga for the Sanford.

The With Anticipation presented a field of seven 2-year-olds who went a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the inner turf for a purse of $175,000.

Florida-bred El Conejito shot to the lead from post five and led Boppy O and jockey Dylan Davis by a length heading into the clubhouse turn with 2-1 favorite Andthewinneris sitting a length-anda-half off of those two in third.

El Conejito, who went off at 26-1, continued to show the way down the backstretch and around the far turn with Boppy O just to his outside as they clicked off quarter-mile splits of :24.93 and :50.09 while maintaining two lengths on Andthewinneris.

Midway on the turn, Boppy O put a head in front of his Florida-bred rival as Andthewinneris began to threaten while threewide. Those three finished six furlongs in 1:15.65 while three abreast.

When they hit the top of the stretch, Boppy O shot to the front with Andthewinneris continuing to challenge on the outside. El Conejito could not keep up and began dropping back. Boppy O fought off Andthewinneris several times in the run for home until the latter surrendered inside the final furlong when Battle of Normandy made a late run from mid-pack.

Battle of Normandy came up a neck short under the wire as Boppy O finished up in 1:46.93 on the good turf with Andthewinneris another length-and-a-half back in third. Determinedly, Noble Huntsman, Our Dream Rye’d and El Conejito completed the order of finish.

Davis said he felt good going into the With Anticipation after Boppy O had trained well in recent weeks.

“Going into this, [Boppy O] was showing high energy levels from last time. He was really coming into the race really nicely,” Davis said. “He broke real sharp. I could’ve taken the lead, but I wanted him to get his stride comfortable going into the first turn. He was loving every part of it. I took the lead early, but he was doing it so comfortable and any challenger that came up to him late, he was putting them away. He was still a little green and spotty, but he still had a lot left in the tank. He was moving really nicely.”

Casse won his second consecutive With Anticipation after taking last year’s renewal with Coinage. He had thought Boppy O would like to turf based on his pedigree and two works on the Saratoga grass. Boppy O went five furlongs in 1:01.60 on Aug. 14 and was the fourth fastest of 74 on July 31 when he breezed four furlongs in :48.

“My feeling is that Bolt d’Oro, a lot of them are going to be grass horses,” Casse said. “So it was about the grass, but it was also [that] I wanted to run him farther. I had thought about running him in the Sapling [on Aug. 27 at Monmouth Park], just because it was two turns at Monmouth. But then I said, ‘You know, I’m going to breeze this horse over the grass.’ I thought he breezed good enough on the grass that he deserved a shot. I’m happy, but I’m not shocked.”

This is the second stakes victory at Saratoga this year with a Florida-bred for the Casse-Davis combination after they won the $135,000 Fasig-Tipton De La Rose with Our Flash Drive on Aug. 7.

Boppy O, is by Bolt d’Oro out of Pappascat, by Scat Daddy and is a half-brother to graded stakes-winner Pappacap, both of whom were bred by George and Karen Russell’s Rustlewood Farm Inc. Pappascat was graded stakes-placed on the grass including a second-place finish to Strike Charmer in the 2014 Cardinal Handicap at Churchill Downs. She has an unnamed yearling colt by Omaha Beach and a weanling colt by War of Will. She was bred to Candy Ride (Arg) this year.

Boppy O was a $190,000 purchase by his owners at the 2021 Keeneland September Sale where he was consigned by Francis and Barbara Vanlangendonck’s Summerfield. He is the first graded winner for Bolt d’Oro.

Boppy O paid $48.20 to win.

Breeze Easy LLC is the nom du cours of Mike Hall and Sam Ross who also campaigned Florida-bred stakes winners Imprimis and Shang Shang Shang. Hall has recently been nominated by Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association board of directors to serve on the board and will begin his three-year term later this month. TFH
