Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 9, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 9, 2018 BEE JERSEY (c, 4, Jersey Town–Bees, by Rahy) was prominent from the outset and had just enough left in the tank to hold off MGISW Mind Your Biscuits (Posse) by a nose in Saturday’s GI Met Mile. A Charles Fipke homebred, Bee Jersey began his career in Dubai with Doug Watson before being transferred to the Asmussen barn midway through 2017. He steadily ascended the class ladder, parlaying a pair of allowance wins at Oaklawn and Keeneland earlier this year in to a score in the GIII Steve Sexton Mile S. at Lone Star Park May 6. Bet down to slight 3-1 favoritism here in the ever-contentious Met Mile, the chestnut established position on the front and led through a strong half-mile with moderate pressure. Cornering for home in control, he kept digging all the way to the wire, stopping the clock in 1:33.13 and narrowly holding on. Lifetime Record: GISW, 10-5-3-1, $1,046,312. Sales History: $250,000 yrl KEESEP ’15. O/B-Charles Fipke (KY). T-Steve Asmussen View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
