HUNT (IRE) (g, 6, Dark Angel {Ire}–Mansiya {GB}, by Vettori {Ire}) posted a new career top Monday, rallying past the ultra-game favorite, Heart to Heart (English Channel), in the GI Shoemaker Mile S. at Santa Anita. Hunt settled off the pace in fifth in the early stages as rail-drawn Om (Munnings) jetted away from the gate and took the early initiative. Om led past a half-mile in :46.66 with Heart to Heart applying pressure entering the far turn. The favorite took control turning for home, but was quickly confronted by Hunt, who skimmed the rail before shifting out to gradually wear Heart to Heart down. The final time for a mile on the lawn was 1:34.07. Hunt did his best work going longer in 2017, adding wins in the GII Eddie Read S. and the GII Del Mar H. to his resume during the Del Mar summer meet and returning to that venue to annex the GII Seabiscuit H. Nov. 26. The gray, originally imported from Ireland in the summer of 2015, was making his first start since the Seabiscuit Monday. Lifetime Record: GISW, 27-9-5-3, $908,764. Sales History: $30,790 RNA wlg GOFNOV ’12; $106,517 2yo GBMBR ’14.
