Owen Allmächter, who was able to take second place in Sam F. Davis Stakes in Tampa Bay Downs in Tampa Bay Downs in his last start last month, when the missions were the highest with a win in the 350,000 dollar -Lambholm SouthTampa Bay Derby on March 8.
Owen, the Almighty, was able to set a leisurely pace of: 23.84 ,: 48.16 and 1: 12.54 in the 1 1/16-mile dirt breed, the opposition left on the head of the trail and scored a 3 1/2 length over the comebacking Chancer McPatrick. Chancer McPatricks of similarly returning stable mate Hill Road was 2 3/4 lengths in third place.
The victory brought the Flying Dutchmen Breeding and the Owen Allmighty 50 Qualifying Points from Owen towards Kentucky Derby from Woodford Reserve and gave him 65 total points to put him in second place on the Kentucky Derby ranking. His trainer Brian Lynch suggested that the colt is better suited for races, which is shorter than the 1 1/4 miles of the derby of the derby, but he left the opportunity after the race on Saturday.
“There will be conversations (perhaps about the target on the Kentucky Derby), but if I had my way, I would still stick to the plan and go to the Pat Day Mile,” he said about the 600,000 dollar race of the second class in the Kentucky Derby -Untercard.
Payton Boersma, the COO of Flying Dutchmen Breeding and Racing, did not think that Pat Day Mile after Tampa Bay's derby.
“This horse really showed what it made today,” he said. “He will be really complex to go to this derby. The Kentucky Derby is of course.”
The Owen allmaid had no problem with 1 1/16 miles, how the race took place on Saturday. He flew his last five-sized tenth in: 29.76, surpassed by one last sixteenth in: 05.84 for a last time of 1: 42.30 on a rapid route. His bar was the fastest in Tampa Bay Derby since Tacitus won the race in 1: 41.90 in 2019.
The Tampa Bay Downs interface created a few quick times on Saturday. On the map, the skippylong stocking of 3.4 million US dollars lowered the 1 1/16-mile success balance sheet when taking Michelob Ultra Challenger inserts in class 3 for older horses in 1: 41.20: 41.20.
Owen Allmighty provided jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. and Lynch with a second Tampa Bay Derby Triumph. Previously, they teamed up to win the 2022 race with Classic Causeway, who later took 11th place in this year's Kentucky Derby.
Ortiz said he had the feeling that a larger cup in Owen Almighty turn signals improved the focus of his mount on Saturday.
“He only waited for horses and somehow looked around,” he said about the past of the Almighty of Owen. “Today, when I taped him, he jumped on the bridle and said: 'Let's roll.' I didn't wait for anyone and he didn't wait for anyone, that was huge.
The dual 1 winner of class 1, Mc-Patrick, and the placed Hill Road of class 1 lost behind the winner in the route to gather in quick closing fractions. The two horses, both of which were trained by Chad Brown and were first equipped with turn signals, started since running in the Fanduel Breeders' Cup Juvenile, who last autumn with Del Mar.
Patch Adams, the favorite favorite of 1.90-1 after the time, was well occupied with fourth place. Brodeur was fifth.
The second to fifth finisher brought Kentucky derby qualification points on 25-15-10-5 base. The Chancer McPatrick and the Hill Road now have 35 or 24 qualification points with the potential to earn more in another 3-year race in one month before the triple crown series begins. Although you lost on Saturday, the race can drive you to improved efforts in planned starts next month. Before the race, Brown had stated that his 3-year-olds did not have the desired fitness.
In its history, the Tampa Bay Derby 2007 produced two winners of the Kentucky Derby, the Tampa Bay Derby winner Street Sense, and Super Saver in 2010, which was third in Tampa Bay Derby. The last Tampa Bay Derby horse that hit the board in the Kentucky Derby was Tacitus, which showed in the 2019 derby.
