Master of the Turf(tm), Barrington Harvey, took the feature today [.pdf warning] aboard the Angelo Tekos trained Private Assets.
The previously unraced chestnut colt was pinched a bit at the start after popping out of the one hole. The rail can be a tricky spot for any horse, particularly a first time starter. Expert race rider Harvey panicked not, taking a hold and lying in wait. When hall of famer Russell Baze sent his mount to the lead, apparently prematurely, Barrington found room to the outside and the colt powered home. Save two light taps of the stick, the soon to be star of Mercedes Stables led the field home under a hand ride. No one in Northern California performs better on turf than Barrington Harvey.
