I called the race of Giacomo's first winner - the second Manor Downs Thoroughbred Futurity Trial. Believe it or not, there was actually some decent breeding in the race - all first time starters. To say she wasn't asked to run is an overstatement. Trained by Cash Asmussen and ridden by Tony McNeil. 8-5 was a laughable gift.
Now qualifies for the $50,000 final on April 18.
