Worth Waiting For
Dear Partners and Friends,
After two canceled starts because of track conditions Dunbrody made the most of his first race today with an impressive win against a talented field. Dunbrody, bred to run classic distances, was sent to the post in a six furlong sprint and was parked between horses for the first fractions of the race. Approaching the turn for home Dunbrody was widest of all but ran down a highly regarded Asmussen horse with strong experience. He also ran down a Wayne Lucas horse with three prior 70 plus Beyer figures who had a third in a Grade I to his credit to capture the win.
Wayne Catalano has felt for some time this colt was the real deal and he made a lot of believers today.
Sent off at odds of 7-2, Dunbrody earned about $38,400 for this Maiden Score. MSW races are paying $64,000 at Oaklawn and $45,000 at Gulfstream. Go figure.
Jerry
