Catching up on City Chapel, the long shot claim by Victor Trujillo that we've been following:
The four year old gelding competed again Friday, in Race 8 at Fresno, a six furlong sprint. For City Chapel (Final Odds 21.20) this was a bit of a step up on the class ladder, as he was competing in a Starter Allowance; just the second time in his career that City Chapel was running without a price tag on his head.
City Chapel broke slow, and was over nine lengths back at the half and six lengths back entering the stretch. But despite being forced wide, City Chapel was able to surge late and take the Place, just a head behind the winner, One Mo (13.20). City Chapel paid $20.60 for Place and 12.60 for Show, and filled out an Exacta that paid $164.60 for a buck.
For his connections, City Chapel's second place finish was worth $6050.00 in purse money. So since being claimed for $4,000.00, City Chapel has brought back to the Trujillo barn $46,255.00 in purse winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
