Idiomatic – Delaware H. – Hoofprints Inc.
Idiomatic (Curlin) got out of hand in the game, almost dismounting her jockey Florent Geroux and finishing last, but none of that mattered, as the Brad Cox-trained rider brought out her class to prevail in an unsuccessful finish. for the faint of heart over Classy Edition (Classic Empire), in what was an exciting edition of the Delaware Handicap G2 ($500,000) played over 1 3/16 miles at Delaware Park.
Idiomatic closed as the great favorite of the race and surely many thought that Curlin’s daughter lost all chance of victory at the time of the start, the mare was penultimate, but little by little Geroux was placing her in a good position. Classy Edition took advantage of the game to lead and Battle Bling (Vancouver) soon joined them around the first corner.
The first partials were 23.77 and 48.40, always with Classy Edition and Battle Bling fighting for the position of honor, while Royal Take Charge (Will Take Charge) ran to the expectation in third place and Idiomatic was already fourth and running with a good performance. .
The 6 furlons passed them in 1:12.29 and the mile in 1:37.28 but now with Classy Edition and Idiomatic in a hard fight for the lead, these two mares came into a great duel, head to head from approximately the final 600 meters, Classy Edition on the inside and Idiomatic on the outside, both bravely showing their hearts, the former after fighting for the lead for almost the entire race, and Cox’s pupil after overcoming the bad game and managing to win the final by head in a time of 1:56.41 for the 1 3/16.
Classy Edition had to settle for second place, third going to Morning Matcha (Central Banker) and fourth to Royal Take Charge.
This was the sixth win for Idiomatic, who is racing, this being her fifth visit to the winner’s circle in her last six starts, and this was her first win in a G2 race, so she just needs to add a G1 classic. on your resume. Idiomatic was born and bred at the legendary Juddmonte Farms and runs for those same colors for which she has produced $774,490.
