Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 12, 2018 HI HAPPY (ARG) (h, 6, Pure Prize-Historia {Arg}, by French Deputy)justified 9-5 favoritism while earning his first Northern Hemisphere win at the highest level in Saturday’s evening’s GI Man o’ War S. at Belmont. A three-time Group 1 winner in his native country, the chestnut made four starts in California for Felipe Souza before being transferred to the powerful Todd Pletcher barn. He was third in the GI Gulfstream Park Turf Feb. 10 before besting One Go All Go (Fairbanks) by a convincing margin in the GII Pan American S. back in Hallandale Mar. 31. One Go All Go had annexed the GII Elkhorn S. at Keeneland in the interim, and went right to the front here as Hi Happy tracked him. The pacesetter threatened to get away from them heading for home, but Hi Happy called on all his stamina to wear that one down and then hold off Sadler’s Joy (Kitten’s Joy) by 3/4 of a length in 2:14.79. One Go All Go held third. Lifetime Record: 13-8-0-2. O/B-La Providencia (Arg). T-Todd A Pletcher. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
