City Chapel, the Victor Trujillo longshot claim that we've been following, competed Friday in Race 6 at Golden Gate Fields. It was City Chapel's second start this month, and his first since picking up his third career victory.
Friday's event was a $12.5k Clm NW2L X; and for those of you who might be wondering what a horse with three career victories is doing in a race for non-winners of two lifetime (NW2L), remember we discussed the "X" factor back in April; for this particular race, X stands for "other than Maiden, Claiming And Starter Races For $10,000 Or Less".
A field of eight went to post Friday, with City Chapel leaving the gate at Final Odds of 18.70. City Chapel ran a pretty even race, being either four or four and a half lengths back at each call, and eventually finishing fourth, four lengths behind the Jerry Hollendorfer-trained Romance is Sosa (1.00). The fourth place finish was worth $720 in purse money to City Chapel's connections; which means that, since being claimed last August for $4,000, City Chapel has earned a total of $22,695 in purses for the Trujillo barn.

Peace and Love,
Jimbo
