Like Father, Like Son: Domestic Product Takes High-Class Renewal of the H. Allen Jerkens

[Wandering Eyes]

Following in the hoofprints of his Klaravich-owned sire, who won it in 2017, DOMESTIC PRODUCT (c, 3, Practical Joke–Goods and Services, by Paynter) came with a wide rally into the Saratoga stretch and outfinished favored 'TDN Rising Star' Prince of Monaco (Speightstown) and GI Woody Stephens Stakes hero Book'em Danno (Bucchero) to land Saturday's GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes. Drawn low in gate three, the homebred colt, a last-out winner of the one-mile GIII Dwyer Stakes, found himself near the back of the field as World Record (Gun Runner) speared through at the fence to take up the running. The GII Amsterdam Stakes winner had some pressure through a half-mile in a sharp :44.28 and the come-from-behinders would have been licking their chops as the field raced into the final couple of furlongs. Woody Stephens runner-up Prince of Monaco, fourth or fifth through the early stages, got first run on World Record, but Domestic Product had gradually worked his way into contention for Flavien Prat and drew on even terms a furlong out. Book'em Danno, also in a rearward position behind the hot pace, also weaved his way into contention, and Javier Castellano might otherwise have tried to take a gap between Prince of Monaco and Domestic Product only to have that hole disappear when Prince of Monaco came out slightly. Instead he dove down towards the inside and looked a final-sixteenth danger, but Domestic Product did the better work widest of all and was home about a half-length to the good. Book'em Danno was a gallant third. Lifetime Record: 9-4-2-0. O/B-Klaravich Stables (KY); T-Chad Brown.
