5/9/13 GG R2 - Horse Watch Follow-Up

City Chapel, the longshot claim that we've been following since he was scooped up by Victor Trujillo last Summer for four grand, found his way to the winner's circle once again Thursday.

Running in Race 2 at Golden Gate Fields, City Chapel (Final Odds 4.70) crossed the wire first in front of five opponents in a $6,250 Claiming Race for non-winners of three lifetime (NW3L).  This was City Chapel's second victory for the Trujillo barn, and brings his total purse earnings for his connections to $21,975, more than five times his purchase price.  Not too shabby indeed for a horse that ran at odds of 29.80 in the $4k NW2L race in which he was claimed.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
