Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 21, 2019 GUARANA (f, 3, Ghostzapper–Magical World, by Distorted Humor) proved two turns and nine panels was no problem as she ran to heavy favoritism to go three-for-three in Saratoga’s GI Coaching Club American Oaks Sunday. Seizing the lead without trying particularly hard for it, the 1-5 chalk clicked off splits of :24.27, :49.49 and 1:13.58. She seemed to be idling a bit approaching the stretch, but responded willingly to Jose Ortiz’s encouragement to open up at the top of the lane. Point of Honor (Curlin) kicked on and made a race of it–and Guarana shifted out abruptly at one point–but the chalk righted the ship and found the line a length clear in 1:49.65. Rider Javier The owner of the runner-up lodged an objection against the winner, but no change was made as Point of Honor’s momentum never seemed to slow. Longshot Off Topic (Street Sense) rounded out the trifecta. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Guarana romped in her sloppy Keeneland sprint debut Apr. 19 before besting GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Serengeti Empress (Alternation) by six lengths in the GI Acorn S. at Belmont June 8. This was the first win in the prestigious Coaching Club for the Chad Brown barn. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0. O/B-Three Chimneys Farm (Ky). T-Chad C Brown.
