Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 6, 2020 Journalists Share Posted June 6, 2020 VEKOMA (c, 4, Candy Ride {Arg}–Mona de Momma, by Speightstown) made 8-5 look like a gift, as he splashed away through the final furlong to post a five-length victory in the GI Runhappy Carter H. and in the process, earning a fees-paid berth in the gate for the GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland Nov. 7. Drawn outside in a field scratched down to eight runners, Vekoma was one of the first away, but was happy to cede the early advantage to American Anthem (Bodemeister). Stalking that one through the middle stages, Vekoma jumped into the bridle with a 2 ½ furlongs to travel, circled up menacingly in upper stretch and powered home late to score by about five lengths over the progressive Network Effect (Mark Valeski) in 1:21.02. Vekoma is the 16th Grade I winner for his sire. Lifetime Record: 7-5-0-1. O-R A Hill Stable & Gatsas Stables; B-Alpha Delta Stables LLC (KY); T-George Weaver.
