Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 17, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 17, 2019 SKY OF HOOK (c, 2, Tapiture–Ambitious Dancer, by Latent Heat) became the first stakes winner for his freshman sire (by Tapit) with a victory in the Rick Violette S. on a rain drenched Wednesday at the Spa. Opening his account with a narrow score against fellow Empire-breds at Belmont May 10, he was 9-1 in this step up to stakes company. Perched in a two-wide third early, the chestnut kept a watchful eye on the leaders through a :22.75 opening quarter and a :46.60 half-mile. Listentoyourheart (Afleet Alex) tried to run away with it in the lane, but Sky of the Hook had him in his sights and closed steadily over the soupy surface in the driving rain to get up for a narrow score in 1:13.17. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-EV Racing Stable; B-EV & NC Corp (NY); T-Rudy Rodriguez.
