Dr. Schivel Gives Violence Another Grade I Winner in Runhappy DMR Futurity

[Wandering Eyes]

Made the 7-5 favorite to build on a smart-looking maiden victory over six furlongs Aug. 8, DR. SCHIVEL (c, 2, Violence–Lil Nugget, by Mining For Money) sat a stalking trip three wide, went after Spielberg (Union Rags) entering the stretch and proved a little too tough for that rival, edging away to take Monday’s GI Runhappy Del Mar Futurity. A $1-million Keeneland September yearling, Spielberg showed the way early from GII Best Pal S. upsetter Weston (Hit It a Bomb), with Flavien Prat and Dr. Schivel keeping an eye on those two from the outside. But he had the answers when push came to shove at the quarter pole and although Spielberg boxed on gamely down on the inside, Dr. Schivel got the job done by the better part of two length. He joins ‘TDN Rising Star’ No Parole and Volatile as Grade I winners in 2020 for Hill ‘n’ Dale’s Violence.
