Pletcher’s Uncoupled Entry In Spa Maiden Switch Positions After Foul

[Wandering Eyes]

Part of an uncoupled entry from the barn Todd Pletcher, Teleport (Ire) (Lope de Vega (Ire)–Gravitee (Fr), by Galileo {Ire}) was elevated to the top spot in a Saratoga maiden after the stewards said that Scope (Gun Runner) fouled his stablemate in the stretch.

After three scratches earlier in the day and one at the gate, Teleport went off as the race favorite. Controlling the tempo throughout, the chestnut colt was looking to close out a gate to wire performance when Scope caught him inside the final eighth of a mile. With John Velazquez aboard, Scope bumped his shedrow rival and went on to win the race. However, after an objection by Teleport's rider Irad Ortiz Jr. the stewards took down Scope and placed him second. Teleport was then declared the winner.

The final running time was 1:46.07.

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: TATOCT '24 300,000gns.
