Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 30, 2019 Journalists Share Posted November 30, 2019 A firming second pick in the wagering, Godolphin’s ALMS (f, 2, City Zip–Charity Belle, by Empire Maker) took advantage of the box-seat trip and finished best to give her owner and trainer a second consecutive victory in the GIII Jimmy Durante S. at Del Mar. Godolphin won the 2018 running with Elsa (Animal Kingdom). Getting Lasix for the first time and drawn neatly in gate two, Alms hugged the fence from third, allowing others to do the dirty work ahead of her, while favored ‘TDN Rising Star’ Princesa Caroline (American Pharoah) was trapped out in midfield from gate 12 after securing a spot three back and one out with cover. Pulled out in upper stretch by Paco Lopez, Alms easily finished the task at hand, accounting for Laura’s Light (Constitution). Princesa Caroline traveled well for the opening half-mile, but the response was a limited one when she was called on by Javier Castellano nearing the stretch. She gained inches in the final eighth of a mile, but was forced to settle for third. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Mike Stidham.
