Speed up to get the winner of the first bet at Woodbine
After beating his first on this same surface and distance on October 2 with a Speed Number of 71 Beyer, Hal returned to Woodbine on Saturday as second pick 2-1 – other far from his 10-1 morning odds. Like he did on October 2, Hal monitored the pace inside from the middle pack before moving out as the pitch passed the 1/4 pole. He loomed outside the pacesetter’s Tape Home and the pair headed down the lane with Hal gaining only the minimum distance on the rope to win.
The winner of the first deposit for his freshman male (by Look at luck), Hal is his only surviving child. P Pure a Dream lost a pony last year by Game winner and bred with Necessary quality for next season. Click to view Equibase.com chart or VIDEO sponsored by TVG.
