City Chapel found his way to the winners circle Friday in Race 7 at Stockton, the third time that he's crossed the wire first for Trainer/Owner Victor Trujillo in the last thirteen months. The event was a $12.5k Claimer (NW2L X) run at a distance of six furlongs over God made dirt. City Chapel (Final Odds 3.30) settled early; shifted out in the stretch; found himself behind a wall of horses; shifted back in; split horses; and won by a neck.
For those unfamiliar with the story, we've been following City Chapel since last August, when Victor Trujillo claimed him for $4,000 out of a race in which City Chapel went to post at nearly 30-1 and finished out of the money. Since that event City Chapel has (including Friday's race) competed seventeen times for the Trujillo barn, posting three wins, five second place finishes, and four third place finishes. City Chapel's total purse winnings for Victor Trujillo (including the $9,350 which he earned with Friday's victory) now stands at $40,205. Obviously, the $4k Trujillo invested to get City Chapel was money well spent.
Peace and Love,

9/29/12 STK Race 8 - The Crowd Gets It Right
On one or two occasions in this blog, I've pointed out times when the California betting public had lost its way with regards to properly predicting the outcome of a race. That being the case, it seems only fair that I make mention of a race that the crowd absolutely nailed.
The finale at Stockton this past Saturday was a $4,000 Claiming event for three year old and upward, non-winners of two lifetime. It was run at a distance of eight furlongs over God-made dirt, with seven horses going to post. Jockey Russell Baze was aboard the winner (surprise, surprise) giving him his third win on the day.
So what was it that made this race so special? Well, take a look at the complete order of finish, along with each entrant's Final Odds:
Bespoke Suit.....................0.90
Jones Brother....................1.50
Mustang Casino...............12.80
Idoitmyway Baby..............14.00
Fishing My Way...............16.00
El Tejon...........................17.40
Heray Lucky Pulpit...........20.40
The favorite, the public's top choice according to their wagering dollars, was victorious. The public's second choice took the Place. The public's third choice took the Show. And so on, all the way down the line; each of the seven horses in the race finished in the exact order of their final odds.
Well done, betting public; well done. That just doesn't happen all that often in races where more than a half dozen entrants leave the gate.
The public's reward for being perfectly correct in predicting the outcome of the race is that a lot of people got to cash a lot of tickets for not a lot of money. The prices for Race 8:
#.......HORSE..................WIN.........PLACE..........SHOW
8.......Bespoke Suit........$3.80.........$2.20.............$2.20
5.......Jones Brother........................$2.60..............$2.40
7.......Mustang Casino..........................................$4.00
$1 Exacta ------------------- $3.70
$2 Quinella ----------------- $4.40
$1 Trifecta ---------------- $14.00
$1 Superfecta ----------- $59.50
$1 Super High Five ---$105.10
For those interested, the Equibase chart of the race may be viewed here, while the DRF version of events is available here. And, since it's such a special event, let's throw in a link to the Brisnet chart of the race as well, which can be found over here.
