Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 7, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 7, 2020 Kirk and Judy Robison’s JACKIE’S WARRIOR (c, 2, Maclean’s Music–Unicorn Girl, by A.P. Five Hundred) followed up on a breathtaking performance in winning the GII Saratoga Special S. Aug. 7 with another spectacular run in Monday’s GI Runhappy Hopeful S. at Saratoga, easily accounting for favored ‘TDN Rising Star’ Reinvestment Risk (Upstart). Fellow ‘Rising Star’ Mutasaabeq (Into Mischief) was a distant third. Popped away from the stalls by Joel Rosario, the $95,000 Keeneland September yearling got the opening quarter in :22.56 and his next two furlongs in :22.27. Traveling supremely confidently, his next quarter was in :23.50, for a six-furlong composite of 1:08.33 and he waltzed under the line a facile winner, stopping the clock in 1:21.29. That bettered the seven-furlong stakes record of Came Home (2001) by 0.65 seconds. O-J Kirk & Judy Robison; B-J & J Stables (KY); T-Steve Asmussen.
