City Chapel, the longshot claim that we've been following, made it back-to-back Wins for Owner / Trainer Victor Trujillo Sunday, getting up just in time to defeat Aliza's Dream (Final Odds 22.80) by a nose in Race 5 at Golden Gate Fields. According to the chart caller, City Chapel (7.20), running with a $20k price tag on his head, "had no speed, trailed to the turn, circled four then five wide to the stretch, rallied when set down for the drive and closed stoutly to get a desperate nod."
This marks City Chapel's seventh career Win, his sixth since being claimed by Trujillo for $4k almost exactly two years ago out of this race, where City Chapel went to Post at Final Odds of 29.80. Today's victory was worth $10,800 in purse money, bringing City Chapel's total earning since running for Trujillo to $93,405.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
