Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 26, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 26, 2018 Reigning Eclipse champion sprinter Roy H (More Than Ready) makes his first start since finishing third in the Mar. 31 G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen in Saturday’s GI Bing Crosby S., a ‘Win and You’re In’ event for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs in November. The bay gelding was second in last year’s Bing Crosby, but went on to win the GI Santa Anita Sprint Championship before clinching his Eclipse statue with a win in the GI Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Del Mar. He opened 2018 with a dominant victory in the Feb. 3 GII Palos Verdes S. before traveling to Meydan where he was a close-up third behind Mind Your Biscuits (Posse) and X Y Jet (Kantharos). American Anthem (Bodemeister) won the GIII Laz Barerra S. and GII Woody Stephens S. before ending his sophomore season with third-place efforts in the Aug. 26 GI H. Allen Jerkens S. at Saratoga and the Oct. 7 Santa Anita Sprint Championship. He has come back with a pair of sparkling victories this year, winning a June 1 optional claimer at Churchill Downs before narrowly defeating the reopposing St. Joe Bay (Saint Anddan) in the June 23 GII San Carlos S. Ransom the Moon (Malibu Moon) is winless in four starts since taking last year’s Bing Crosby. He concluded 2017 with a fifth-place effort in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint and resurfaced to finish runner-up behind the ill-fated Bobby Abu Dhabi (Macho Uno) in the Apr. 21 GII Kona Gold S. He is coming off a fifth in the June 9 GI Metropolitan H. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
