WTBOA Sales Filly City to City Second in Grade 2 San Clemente William DeBurgh, Mark Dedomenico LLC and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer's classy three-year-old filly City to City added her sixth 2010 stakes placement - and fourth on the board finish in a graded stakes race - when the 2008 WTBOA Summer Yearling Sale graduate finished second, only three-quarters of a length behind favorite Evening Jewel in the Grade 2 San Clemente Handicap run at Del Mar on July 25.
According to the Equibase chart of the race, City to City, a Kentucky-bred daughter of City Zip-Stormbow, by Storm Cat, "finished well" in the mile turf competition. Among those in her wake were Santa Anita Oaks (G1) winner Crisp and Hollywood Oaks (G2) winner Switch.
Purchased for $50,000 by Dedomenico out of the Washington sale, City to City has earned $258,054 and has 5-3-4 record in 15 starts. |

Emerald Downs Stakes Results -
Newfound Triumph John and Janene Maryanski's Newfound Man has impressed many in his short career. The 2008 WTBOA Summer Yearling Sale graduate was an 8 1/2-length winner of an Emerald Downs maiden special weight race in his first start at two. He was seriously injured in his second outing, the River Rock Resort Stakes at Hastings Racecourse and had to have surgery, but rebounded with a flourish this past spring with a three-length victory in an allowance/optional claiming race at his Emerald home base.
In his next start, and in one of the most exciting finishes of the meet, he was narrowly beaten by Koala Beach and Posse Power in the Pepsi-Cola Handicap. Only a neck separated the first three finishers in the mile race. The sophomore trio's rematch in the Seattle Slew Handicap on June 25 was highly anticipated.
Newfound Man, with Inoel Beato in the saddle, quickly went to the front as they sped through reasonable fractions of :23, :46.40, 1:10.20 and 1:35.20. Entering the stretch, Newfound Man had a 1 1/2-length lead on Willow Creek Farm's Posse Power, and though the Kentucky-bred son of Posse-Stellarina was making a strong move, Newfound Man's determined head remained in front at the wire. It was the second straight heartbreaker for Posse Power who has lost his last two outings by a short nose and now a head. Finishing 3 1/4 lengths behind the battling duo in third place was Gary Hughes' Saratoga Boot, an Arkansas-bred son of Storm Boot-Saratoga Sparkle who had run second to Posse Power in the Auburn Stakes. Both Posse Power and Koala Beach, who finished sixth of seven, went off at $1.80-to-one, with Posse Power the slight favorite in the 1 1/16-mile race. Newfound Man's final race time for the 34th running of the race named to honor the 1977 Triple Crown winner was 1:41.80. Karen and Mickey Taylor, who raced the great "Slew," were honorary stewards for the race.
"Before the race, I really thought that I would get the lead," said Beato. "My horse ran easy in the front. In the last eighth of a mile, he responded really well.
"He likes to go head-to-head," Beato added. "In his last stakes race, he would look around too much. Today he was more focused."
Newfound Man was one of three winners on the Sunday card for trainer Blaine Wright, who was celebrating his 36th birthday.
Bred in Washington by Barbara Ratcliff's Coal Creek Farm, Newfound Man is from the second crop sired by Newfoundland, a son of Storm Cat. Newfound Man is a half-brother to $240,570 stakes winner Hilltown, who won the now discontinued Independence Day Handicap at Emerald Downs in 1997, and two other stakes-placed runners, all being out of the unraced Temperence Hill matron Katherine Jean. Purchased by the Maryanskis for$36,000 at the 2008 WTBOA Summer Yearling Sale, the new stakes winner has earned $55,538 in his five starts. |

Other Emerald News Eleven-year-old West Seattle Boy, a grandson of Washington champion and Hall of Fame inductee Belle of Rainier, earned his own measure of fame by becoming the all-time leading race winner at Emerald Downs on July 25. West Seattle Boy, fittingly with all-time winning Emerald rider Gallyn Mitchell in the saddle, took his 17th victory around the Emerald oval in a $3,500 mile claiming event. The son of Majesterian-Pancho's Girl, by Pancho Villa, was bred by the late Al Benton and currently races for Lisa Baze and Jerry Carmody. Thirteen of his 22 lifetime wins have come while under the tutelage of trainer Rigoberto Velasquez. The dark bay gelding has earned $160,792 in his 91 starts. |

Belvoir and Mitchell Team for Canterbury Park Claiming Crown Emerald Downs' regulars Vann Belvoir and Gallyn Mitchell teamed together with four horses on the July 24 card at Canterbury Park, which featured the annual six-race Claiming Crown series.
Belvoir and Mitchell started the day out right by winning the first race of the day, a 1 1/16-mile $10,000-$7,500 claimer with Keith Swagerty's Roy's Tops, a four-year-old Washington-bred son of He's Tops-Gust of Glory, by Honour and Glory, bred by Foothills Farm.
Belvoir and Mitchell had three runners in stakes with their best finish coming with five-year-old Elusive Schemes, who ran third in the $100,000 Claiming Crown Emerald Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile turf race. The Kentucky-bred son of Elusive Quality-Renaissance Lady, who had been running in stakes at Emerald Downs this year, races for Belvoir and Gloria Ballestrasse.
Belvoir's other two runner are both owned by Swagerty. Multiple stakes-winning Washington-bred filly No Flies On Doodle finished eighth and last in the $75,000 Claiming Crown Glass Slipper Stakes and Forener ran fifth of six in the $25,000 HBPA Sprint Stakes. King A. J., the winner of the HBPA Sprint, is trained by Glenda Roberts' son-in-law McLean Robertson. |

Tyler Baze Injured at Del Mar Tyler Baze, 27, suffered serious facial injuries when his mount in the fifth race at Del Mar on July 24, Night Justice, reared while being loaded in the gate. The three-year-old colt, who was making his first start, hit Baze in the face with the back of his head. After unseating his rider, Night Justice then ran over Baze's calf before running off.
The Washington-born jockey, who was the nation's Eclipse Award-winning apprentice rider in 2000, suffered orbital fractures around his right eye and a broken nose. Baze will more than likely need surgery and will miss the rest of the seaside track's meet. |
