Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 11, 2020 Journalists Share Posted April 11, 2020 Pounded into 4-5 favoritism off a debut second to ‘TDN Rising Star’ and subsequent Oaklawn allowance scorer Echo Town (Speightstown) in a six-furlong Fair Grounds maiden Jan. 18, Alex and JoAnn Lieblong’s EARNER (c, 3, Carpe Diem–Devious d’Oro, by Medaglia d’Oro) gave trainer Steve Asmussen a rolling personal Pick 3 with a dominating maiden victory Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Drawn outside in gate 11, the chestnut raced three deep around the first turn in the second flight of horses and improved by a couple of spots to loom a menacing third rounding the second bend. Under a long hold from Ricardo Santana, Jr., Earner rolled up three abreast at the quarter pole and grabbed the race by its throat, streaking clear through the final eighth of a mile to post a five-length victory. The debuting Pit Boss (Union Rags) made eye-catching progress along the rail to complete the exacta. Earner, whose owners have tasted noteworthy success with progeny of WinStar first-crop sires, cost $425,000 as a Keeneland September yearling in 2018. O-Alex & JoAnn Lieblong; B-White Fox Farm (KY); T-Steve Asmussen.
