A Little Warm comes up hot in Delaware
Horseracing Betting Lines
06/29/2010 -
Stanton, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three months after finishing second in the
Louisiana Derby, A Little Warm got back into action Tuesday afternoon at
Delaware Park. The three-year-old colt returned to racing in a 1 1/16-mile
allowance race as the 3-2 morning-line favorite.
Ridden by John Velazquez, A Little Warm ran second behind Miner's Reserve on
Delaware's main track. Miner's Reserve, trained by Nick Zito and ridden by
Jeremy Rose, took the four horse field up the backstretch and around the final
turn.
Sent off as the 3-5 favorite, A Little Warm finally drew even with the 6-5
second choice at the top of the stretch. The favorite notched his second win
of the year and the third of his career with a 2 1/4-length victory over
Miner's Reserve. A Little Warm stopped the timer at 1:43.60.
There was no show wagering due to the small field. A Little Warm returned
$3.20 and $2.10, Miner's Reserve paid $2.60.
"We did not feel our horse was 100 percent going into the race today," said
trainer Tony Dutrow, "and for him to give us a performance like that and to
fight as hard he did to beat a really nice horse, I think we have to be really
happy and looking forward to his future."
Owned by Edward Evans, A Little Warm was originally considered for the
Preakness Stakes on May 15. However, he was withdrawn from consideration about
a week before the Triple Crown race following an unsatisfactory endoscopic
examination.
A Little Warm began 2010 by winning the $100,000 Spectacular Bid Stakes on
January 9 at Gulfstream Park. He then came up second to D'Funnybone in the
$150,000 Hutcheson Stakes at the South Florida track.
Tuesday's win put A Little Warm's career earnings at $308,880 in eight starts.
Dutrow has the colt nominated to the Barbaro Stakes for three-year-olds at
Delaware Park on July 10. However, it appears A Little Warm will rejoin the
top echelon of three-year-olds this summer.
"I think right now, Mr. Evans is looking at the Jim Dandy (July 31) at
Saratoga for his next start," noted Dutrow.
The Jim Dandy is the traditional prep race for the Travers at Saratoga at the
end of August. One day after the Jim Dandy is the Haskell Invitational at
Monmouth Park.
In 2009, Rachel Alexandra won the Haskell with Summer Bird in second. Summer
Bird came back to win the Travers and eventually be voted the year's champion
three-year-old colt.
