Portrade went coast to coast with Andi'amu chasing in 2nd the whole way. Both horses ran the race of their lives. The time was 7 seconds faster than last year, highlighting their great effort.
Scorpiancer and Schoodic both stayed off the pace and tried in vain to close, but finished 3rd and 4th.
Bob Le Beau pulled up on the second turn with a right rear ankle injury. After further examination, the injury was catastrophic and Bob Le Beau was humanely destroyed.
Hope you've enjoyed the write ups and gained an understanding of steeplechase races. Thank you for the kind words and support.
There are steeplechase races scheduled for Wednesday 8/31 and Thursday 9/1.
I'll provide an analysis next week.
Good luck to everybody!!!
