Down Under Winners from North America

Former Kiwi gelding Belmont Royale (Betterthancheddar) took full advantage of a sweet trip to capture his second $18,000 Open for the year at Saratoga Raceway on Monday (July 6). He clocked 1:52.4. 

BELMONT ROYALE N REPLAY

Jilliby Dynamite, a Victorian bred gelding, overcame the outside No. 9 gate and a torrid passage to win by 2-1/4 lengths in 1:53.8 at Oak Grove Raceway on Monday. The win lifted his lifetime stake tally to $278,780. 

The Sweet Lou sired duo Blaze On and Sweetnikkilou both hoisted fresh lifetime marks in America on Friday (July 10). 

Blaze On, a six-year-old gelding bred by the late Charles Roberts, clocked 1:49.6 winning at Hoosier Park, while Sweetnikkilou, a five-year-old mare bred by the late Barry Dunn, won in 1:49.8 at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
