Peter Brant’s Good Sam holds onto her perfect record with a 3 1/2 length score on Nov. 6. $150,000 Tempted Stakes, a mile a turn for the minors to fill the main track at Aqueduct race track.
Trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr., son of The Good Samaritan gate-to-rope entry, the launch score 4 3/4 go length 6 1/2 stretched on a sloppy track. October 2 at Belmont at Big A meet autumn.
Good Sam broke out cautiously from 4th place and came in third as Foggy night and Crypto Mama who tripped at the break from the inner post, finished the quarter mile opening at: 23.26 on the fast track.
The foggy night driven by Paco Lopez led to the turn, with Good Sam scrambling for her outside without Ortiz’s urging to take command. Foggy Night put in a lot of effort in the run but Good Sam continued to accelerate far ahead of his opponent, getting a little inside the eighth column, before heading straight for the win with a score of 1:38, 69.
Foggy Night has completed exactly over 4 and a half lengths Rosie’s Alibi .
Lopez claimed fouling Ortiz for the incident in the eighth column, with no change to the order of the finish.
“I felt like I never bothered the other horse. It came in when changing the line, but I fixed it and never even hit it,” Ortiz said. “I grabbed her and caught her straight, then I hit her a few times to the left and she would go forward.”
Ortiz, Jr., who won a trio of Breeders’ Cup races on Friday and Saturday at Keenelandsaid he felt comfortable during his favorite 1-2 match.
“This is a good thing. She deserves all the credit,” he said. “It was a pretty easy ride out there. She did well and I spent my time with her. Whenever I asked her, she replied.
“Last time she was a little bit green and today she’s a little better. I think she’s learning.”
Pine Brook Ranch’s Foggy Night, coached by Butch Reid Jr., scored 11 1/4 girl lengths in third place with a one-mile and 70-meter claim at the Racing Parx.
“I really enjoyed the race. It was a good effort after a long train ride here with New York traffic today,” Reid said. “That horse rushed over and took her lane, but I guess the managers felt it wasn’t enough to make a change, but that horse pushed past us a little bit. I’m sure. that winning has something to do with it.”
Reid said Foggy Night could return to Big A for Demoiselle (G2) Stocks on December 3, providing qualifying scores 10-4-3-2-1 for Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1).
