Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 9, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 9, 2018 STILL HAVING FUN (c, 3, Old Fashioned–Casual Kiss, by Dehere) capitalized on a blistering early pace, rallying to victory to capture the GII Woody Stephens S. at Belmont Saturday. A two-time stakes winner in Maryland, the bay recently closed belatedly to complete the exacta behind Mitole (Eskendereya) in the Chick Lang S. at Pimlico. Let go at odds of 13-1 Saturday, the colt lagged off the pace as the leaders cut out swift fractions of :21.46 and :43.98. Given his cue on the turn, he gathered steam and had Engage (Into Mischief) to catch in the lane. He stayed on determinedly down the center of the strip and gradually wore that foe down to win going away by two lengths. Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford) held on best of the pacesetters and finished third. The final time for seven panels was 1:21.45. Sales History: $12,000 yrl EASOCT ’16. Lifetime Record: GSW, 8-4-2-0, $451,703. O-Gary Barber, Wachtel Stable and Terp Racing. B-Mr and Mrs Charles McGinnes and Tim Keefe (MD). T-Tim Keefe.
