City Chapel, the longshot claim by Victor Trujillo that we've been following, made her first start since May 31 Saturday, taking the Place in Race 6 at Pleasanton. City Chapel went to Post at Final Odds of 8.80 in the five and a half furlong dirt sprint, carded for $8,000 Claimers (NW2 L X - Maiden, Claiming, And Starter Races For $6,250 Or Less Not Considered). City Chapel was out sprinted early, and was fifth (two and three quarter lengths back) coming into the stretch, but closed well to finish second, less that two lengths behind the winner, Luckywiththeladies (2.80).
For the punters, City Chapel's finish was worth $6.60 for Place and $3.60 for Show. For his connections, City Chapel's effort was worth $2,850 in purse money. Since being claimed for $4,000 last August, City Chapel has competed fourteen times for the Trujillo barn, winning twice, with four Place finishes, and three Shows. City Chapel's total purse earnings since being claimed by Trujillo stands at $25,545.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
