OAK GROVE, Ky. — Sent the 1-5 favorite, Unreasonable (Huntsville) journeyed first up on the rim and easily ground down her competition to post the top mile of the afternoon’s Kentucky Sire Stakes (KYSS) events in winning her harness racing division for 3-year-old pacing fillies on Tuesday afternoon (July 8) at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel.
Driver Marcus Miller landed in fourth out of post 3 with Unreasonable as Duration (driven by Scott Zeron) ripped from the outermost post to the lead into a :26.1 first quarter. Duration continued on the muscle to a :54.3 half, where Miller readied Unreasonable for a move off the pylons approaching the backstretch. Unreasonable marched forward under wraps and zipped past Duration through three-quarters in 1:23 to then scoot away in the lane and win by 2-3/4 lengths in 1:52. Treacheryinthedark (Todd McCarthy) followed the winner’s move from second over for second while Accede (Yannick Gingras) tipped out of a pocket ride to grab third and Baret (Andy McCarthy) closed for fourth.
UNREASONABLE REPLAY
A daughter of Huntsville, Unreasonable collected her fifth win from 14 starts and has now earned $210,582 for owners Ervin Miller Stable Inc. and David J. Miller. She paid $2.46 to win.
Driver Geremy Bobbitt scored the biggest win of his young career when Rod Debeck pupil Captain Arturovico scored a 16-1 upset in the fastest division of KYSS for 3-year-old pacing colts and geldings. Bobbitt found a second-over ride after 3-5 favorite Ayeaye Captain Deo (Todd McCarthy) cut early fractions of :27.3 and :55.4. Falcon (Marcus Miller) pressed first up on the rim and matched strides with Ayeaye Captain Deo through three-quarters in 1:25.1 while Bobbitt loomed three wide for the stretch drive. Captain Arturovico built momentum in the stretch as Falcon jumped into a gallop, and he surged forward to collar Ayeaye Captain Deo by a head in the closing strides of a 1:53 mile. Bourbon County (Dexter Dunn) finished third and Handsome Stranger (Andy McCarthy) closed for fourth.
CAPTAIN ARTUROVICO REPLAY
Captain Arturovico, a gelding by Captaintreacherous, has now won seven times from 10 starts this season and eight times from 19 starts in his career, earning $76,509 for owner Rod Debeck. He paid $34.60 to win.
Grande Via (Yannick Gingras) blitzed 6-5 leader Te Quiero Lindy (Andy Miller) at an opportune point of the final turn to bag a wrapped-up win in the quickest mile of the three KYSS divisions for 3-year-old trotting colts and geldings. Gingras secured the pocket to Te Quiero Lindy, who carved a tempo of :27.3, :57.1 and 1:25.3 while unfettered on the point. As Miller gave his charge a few taps of the whip to the final turn, Gingras fanned off the pegs and slid forward to put a head in front spinning for home. Grande Via held his advantage over Te Quiero Lindy in the sprint to the finish to cross the beam a half length better in a 1:54.3 mile while Sky Legacy (Dexter Dunn) took third and Beaujolais Breeze (David Miller) finished fourth.
Andrew Harris trains Grande Via, a colt by Muscle Hill, and shares ownership with William Pollock and Bruce Areman. He broke his maiden with the victory, his 16th outing in the career, and paid $21.76 to win.
Admiring (David Miller) put her rivals to sleep with a pillar-to-post win in the fastest of the two KYSS division for 3-year-old trotting fillies. Despite starting from post 7, Miller crossed over to the lead just entering the first turn and posted fractions of :27.2, :56.2 and 1:25.1 in progress to a widening victory by four lengths. Belmont (Dexter Dunn) gave futile chase from a pocket trip in second but did just hold off late-charging 1-2 favorite Ms Prada (Yannick Gingras), who took third. Get It All (Mattias Melander) finished another four lengths behind in fourth.
ADMIRING REPLAY
Richard “Nifty” Norman trains Admiring, a filly by Walner, for owners Tony Holmes and June Zent. She won her fourth race from 19 starts, has now earned $108,650 and paid $15.72 to win.
