Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 6, 2019 TOP LINE GROWTH (g, 3, Tapizar–Orinoquia, by Whywhywhy) crossed the line second in the Iowa Derby, but was promoted to first after Winning Number (Speightstown) was disqualified for interference following a stewards inquiry and jockey claim of foul. Biding his time in mid-pack as Winning Number clocked a half-mile in :48 flat, the gelding made rapid progress on the backstretch run to sit second turning for home. He kept after the pacesetter in the lane, but could not get to him, coming up two lengths short in 1:43.07. However, after an inquiry and objection, Winning Number was taken down and placed third for interfering with third-place finisher Shang (Shanghai Bobby). Romping by 9 1/2 lengths when unveiled in a $40,000 maiden claimer at Laurel Apr. 22, Top Line Growth was fifth next out in the Sir Barton S. at Pimlico May 18. He returned to winning ways with an eight-length restricted allowance score at Laurel June 8. Lifetime Record: 4-2-0-0.
