10/24/14 GG R7 - Horse Watch Follow-Up

City Chapel, the longshot claim that we've been following, took a step up in the world, both literally and figuratively, as he headed back upstate to Golden Gate Fields to compete in Race 7 Friday, a $25k Optional Claimer (City Chapel was not in for a tag).

Breaking widest in a field of ten, City Chapel (Final Odds 13.70) continued to run wide around the first turn and through the backstretch.  City Chapel made a nice middle move through the second turn, but didn't have enough left for the drive and finished fifth, six and a half lengths behind the winner, Yahoo Tahoe (7.00).  For his efforts City Chapel earned $600 in purse money for his connections, bringing his total earnings since being claimed for $4,000 by Owner / Trainer Victor Trujillo to $110,205.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
