Chapter Seven won the Crown Open Trot in a time of 1:52.3. |
Despite being parked every step of the way, Chapter Seven, driven by Tim Tetrick, managed to wear down international intivee Commander Crowe in the $591,240 Breeders Crown Open Trot for his second consecutive championship title.
Swedish trotting star Commander Crowe (Christophe Martens) established the lead from post four in the six-horse field over Mister Herbie (Jody Jamieson) while Chapter Seven found himself parked out from post six with Arch Madness (Trond Smedshammer) following his helmet. Daylon Magician (Jack Moiseyev) followed behind with early breaker Hot Shot Blue Chip (Corey Callahan) trailing.
Commander Crowe carved out fractions of :27.2, :55.4 and 1:24.3 with Chapter Seven looming first over. Down the stretch, the favourite inched by the pacesetter for the 1:52.3 triumph. Mister Herbie came on for second forcing Commander Crowe to settle for another third place finish in Breeders Crown action.
"I didn't know that he could do that, but I know as long as he has a target he won't stop until he gets there," said trainer Linda Toscano following the victory.
The four-year-old world champion son of Windsongs Legacy and La Riviera Lindy is owned by Richard Gutnick of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, Southwind Farm of Pennington, New Jersey, and J And T Silva Stables LLC of Long Beach, New York.
Last year's Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Colt Trot champion is the 18th trotter to earn two Breeders Crown titles, and just the third to win the three-year-old and Open divisions in back-to-back years. Sugarcane Hanover completed the feat in 1986-1987 while Pine Chip repeated in 1993-1994.
Chapter Seven now boasts seven wins and two seconds in nine seasonal starts with over $923,000 in 2012 earnings. The $1.85 million career earner, who has recorded a historic four sub-1:51 miles, also boasts stakes win in this year's Titan Cup, Nat Ray, Maxie Lee, and Allerage Farms Open.
Toscano said "without question" Chapter Seven has proven to be the best horse she's ever trained.
"What this horse has overcome to get to this point, horses can't do and he only knows one thing -- and that's to win," she said. "He loves it, he's a great horse. He deserves every accolade he gets.
"He's a great horse and Timmy and he gets along super, I give credit to everybody involved. It's a team effort. The caretaker lives with him, the veterinarian that got him through his sickness lives with him, this year is a culmination of everybody working together and getting him here. I just went along for the ride."
