Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 21, 2019 MUCHO UNUSUAL (f, 3, Mucho Macho Man–Not Unusual, by Unusual Heat) stayed unbeaten on turf and picked up her first graded stakes win with a last-to-first rally in the GII San Clemente S. Saturday at Del Mar. A second-out victress last fal at Santa Anita, the George Krikorian homebred was runner-up as the favorite in the Golden State Juvenile Fillies S. there Nov. 2 before fading to fourth at odds-on in a state-bred optional claimer in her sophomore bow Jan. 27. Switched to turf in the California Cup Oaks Feb. 18, the bay went wire-to-wire to pull to upset at nearly 11-1, and repeated by a head in an open optional claimer June 16. Made a lukewarm 5-2 chalk here, she dropped back to trail the 10-filly group as a pair of longshots duked it out through sharp fractions of :22.72 and :46.50. The field began to bunch up midway around the far turn, and longshot Apache Princess (Unusual Heat) made a bold, four-wide bid to take control at the top of the lane. That one went clear past the eighth pole, where Mucho Unusual emerged as the only danger, and the Tim Yakteen trainee kept charging under Joel Rosario to just get up by a neck in 1:34.66. Lifetime Record: 7-4-2-0, $372,680. O/B-George Krikorian (CA); T-Tim Yakteen.
