Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 7, 2018 FIRENZE FIRE (c, 3, Poseidon’s Warrior–My Every Wish, by Langfuhr) relished the cut back to a one-turn mile after an 11th-place finish in the GI Kentucky Derby May 5, romping by daylight in the GIII Dwyer S. at Belmont Saturday. Bet down to 5-2 from a 6-1 morning-line, the bay tracked from off the rail in fifth as heavily favored G2 UAE Derby romped Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy) and Noble Indy (Take Charge Indy) traded blows through opening splits of :23.53 and :45.98. Sweeping up the outside turning for home, Firenze Fire powered clear in the lane to win for fun in 1:33.74. Seven Trumpets (Morning Line) got up for second over Mendelssohn. Winner of the GI Champagne S. going a one-turn mile here last term, Poseidon’s Warrior kicked off this term with a win in a muddy renewal of the Jerome S. Jan. 13 and was second in the GIII Withers S. a month later. Fourth in the GIII Gotham S. Mar. 10, he filled the same spot in the GII Wood Memorial S. Apr. 7 prior to splitting the field in the Run for the Roses. Lifetime Record: 11-5-1-0. O/B-Mr Amore Stable (FL); T-Jason Servis.
