Even though Go global will debut the winner of the Goldikova Shares (G2T) program on October 29th will depend on who buys her at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Night of the Stars on November 6th, but she has already left her cage. Coach Phil D’Amato is at the top after nearly two years in his Southern California stable.
“She did a lot for myself, the warehouse and the partners,” says D’Amato. “Whatever happens after that, one way or another, she will have a happy life, either as a model or a potential race next year.”
Going Global put on a flawless performance in the Goldikova tournament on October 29 at the grass-court mile for D’Amato and runner Umberto Rispoli. Favorite at 3-10 in Santa Anita . Park event, she came in third place after the initial speed of Burgoo Alley one of D’Amato’s other good Irish runners, and Karakatsie , a person who runs a lot of bets in Florida. Going Global advanced in the most professional way among opponents near the fifth and sixteenth column, taking the lead late in the second round.
“Once it was my turn to go home, I just pressed a button and she did the rest,” says Rispoli.
British Rose closed from Thursday for the second best run, but no one was able to catch Going Global, as she scored 1/2 the length in 1:33.85. Karakatsie finished third, followed by Burgoo Alley, Avenue de France and Cover version .
“She could be gone forever, and it’s a good way to get out,” Rispoli added. “It’s always sad to see a horse like her go.”
Avenue de France defeated Going Global in their final game, the John C. Mabee Stakes (G2T) team 1/8 mile at Del Mar. Going global was blocked and had to settle down that day, and she missed catching up to Avenue de France by half the way.
“Her most recent two drills are probably some of her best to date – bullets work, but she’s usually a bit slower,” D’Amato said. “She came out from her last race very sharp, so I just wanted to play there and just keep her on the sharp side, knowing we were going to run at a mile, and it paid off. replied.”
Going Global races for CYBT, Michael Dubb, Saul Gevertz, Michael Nentwig and Ray Pagano. A one-time winner of four races in her native Ireland, she blossomed in California under D’Amato’s care. In 13 starts for him, she won nine times, all by stake, eight of which were graded. This is her second win in a row at Goldikova, held in Del Mar last year.
Nicky Hartery raised her 4-year-old daughter Mehmas are from Aggression mare Wrood.
“She’s just been a joy to train,” D’Amato said, “and I’m happy to see her off, at least tentatively, as a winner at Goldikova.”
