Heart to Heart Finally Gets His Maker’s 46

It took Heart to Heart (h, 7, English Channel-Ask the Question, by Silver Deputy) some 34 starts over the course of six seasons to secure an elusive Grade I success, but the tough-as-teak Ontario-bred with the distinctive blaze that befits his name made it back-to-back scores at the highest level with a typically tenacious front-running victory in Friday’s Maker’s 46 Mile. In a race delayed by 35 minutes by an earlier tote malfunction, Heart to Heart looked a bit toey in the stalls and hopped ever so slightly at the break, but it didn’t cost him, as he was soon in front, dictating a sensible pace from California raider Om (Munnings) as Ballagh Rocks (Stormy Atlantic) was tucked away neatly in third. Still traveling well within himself as they left the quarter pole behind, Heart to Heart was popped the question by his long-time partner Julien Leparoux and they shaded :23 for the final two furlongs to win cozily in the finish. Ballagh Rocks fought back gamely at the fence for second. Forge (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}-Heat Haze {GB}) took a multi-horse photo for third. Heart to Heart, second in the last two runnings of the Maker’s 46, was winning for the 15th time and was taking his career earnings to $1.9 million. Lifetime Record: 35-15-5-3. O-Terry Hamilton; B-Red Hawk Ranch (ON); T-Brian Lynch.
