Firenze Flavor Noses Out Honeymoon Stakes Win

Only a couple of noses separated the first three finalists in an exciting edition of the Honeymoon Stakes of $ 100,000 (G3T) on May 18 in Santa Anita Park. Emerging victory was at the end of the three -way photo Fire flavor Mounted by Drayden Van Dyke, who was making the debut of the bets for coach Patrick Gallagher in the 1/8 mile event for the 3 -year -old pots.

FIENZE SUBCAMPER GASTED FLAVOR Miso Pansy For a nose with 6-5 favorites Jungla Paz That had led from the beginning to the final jump, another nose in third place.

Pacesetter Jungle Peace entered a perfect 3 by 3 in the United States for coach Phil D’Amato, but had never run around two shifts. She went to the front as expected and established fractions of: 23.84 ,: 48.10 and 1: 11.72 for six furlongs as a flavor of Buerca and Pansy de Miso were content to compete in the back of the pack. La Paz de la Jungla continued to show the road to the section and maintained a 1/2 advantage in the eighth post, which was reached in 1: 37.08. But she could not contain the couple of closures. Firenze’s taste, running together with Pansy de Miso directly abroad, used a final increase near the cable to sprout the discomfort.

“I think there is more to come, but first I need to go to Lenscrafters,” Gallagher said. “I thought it ended third.”

Firenze Sabor, a homemade race for Oda Racing and Us Equine, won in a time or 1: 49.91.

For Van Dyke, who made a full -time return to Santa Anita last month, this was the first time he set up the Firenze taste.

“The main thing was to get along with her,” said Van Dyke. “She likes to throw her head, I saw from her previous races and looking at her in the morning.

“I was a little worried” for Dyke continued with the end. “She kicked me well and was trying to avoid the horse inside (Pansy de Miso). As I approached her, she dug in the last small part and worked well for me. I just want to thank Paddy and the Connections.”

Firenze’s taste broke his maiden at his second start on January 20, going a mile of grass in Santa Anita, but then ran a Clunker at the end of the last one in a first -class allocation also to a peat mile on February 11. But the last time on April 25, he recovered well when he joined a half -length victory to clarify his first -level assignment status in a mile in a mile in a Mile in Turf.

“We always liked the Potra,” Gallagher said.

Firenze’s taste paid $ 17.40 for victory.
