Jockey Jose Ortiz, who suffered bruised ribs in a spill at the finish line during the first race on Friday, was off his mounts again on Sunday, but plans to ride Wednesday’s card. “This is going to be a fun back half of the year.” We wanted to get her back in June, on Belmont Day, and Todd just thought she needed a little more time. “You want a horse like this best for the last four races of the year, not the first four. Super effort beating an older mare like that, as accomplished as she is.” Nest was able to quicken away from her and keep to task. I was watching her intently and knowing she was going to make a big run at her. “You can feel like you have a two-length lead and she just keeps coming at you. “I have so much respect for Clairiere, and I know how good she is - she’s one of those that the race is never over,” Pletcher said. 26, so a rematch is likely, with perhaps Grade I La Troienne winner Played Hard in the mix.įor now, Nest’s connections can enjoy the thrill of another big win at Saratoga against a championship-caliber rival, and the relief that Nest, finally, is back. So I thought if we got the jump on Clairiere, she’d have to come get us.”īoth camps will look at the Personal Ensign on Travers Day Aug. One thing I told him in the paddock was Nest has never been passed by any horse in her career. “He knew who the horse to beat was, and he moved at the perfect time. “You mean after he peeked back seven times in a row?,” Nest’s co-owner Mike Repole said, when asked about Ortiz peeking behind him. We saw Clairiere do that a couple times last year.” She’s shown that ability to quicken at the top of the stretch. Clairiere didn’t hang out too far back, either, she wanted to keep her eye on us, and it worked out well. We thought he was going to go for the lead. “Kendrick took his time getting to the lead. “It kind of unfolded like we thought it would,” Pletcher said. She responded to everything I asked her to do.” ![]() I thought for a second he might stay in, so I was trying to decide whether to go out. That horse had a little advantage with not too much speed in the race. But she was finishing really good for me. “There wasn’t too much speed in the race, which set things up a little different. It looked for a second like we might get it, but that filly took off again. “I was following the winner, and then for a second I thought when we were turning for home, I was right there. “I mean, it looked like a good trip,” Rosario said. She just needed to do more early and get involved.” ![]() “Just getting caught up in these races that have zero pace in them. “She’s a great mare,” said the frustrated trainer Steve Asmussen, of Clairiere. She hadn’t raced since a fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in November. Nest had too much momentum for Clairiere to get inside position, so Rosario angled her to the outside as Nest dipped toward the rail.Ĭlairiere had been able to overcome short fields and slow pace in earlier races this season, but Nest, whose campaign was delayed by illness in the spring, wasn’t in those fields. Joel Rosario kept Clairiere in contact, behind the long shot and Nest, but Nest took over rounding the second turn, and all Rosario could do was follow. Ridden by Kendrick Carmouche, Pistol Liz Ablazen took the compact field through a half-mile in 49.87 seconds and three-quarters in 1:14.43. It’s going to be quite a competition between these two good horses, and others will join the fray, too, between now and Breeders’ Cup time.” “All respect to her, we’re not going to take anything for granted moving forward.
