| Freaky Feet Pete won convincingly Saturday night by 1¼ lengths. |
The sport’s brightest freshman stars were in the spotlight Friday evening at Woodbine Racetrack, but Saturday night belonged to the older divisions and the sophomore class.
Artspeak rained on Wakizashi Hanover’s parade even though the Pepsi North America Cup winner managed to steal away with a pedestrian first half of :57.3
Scott Zeron tucked Artspeak into the five-hole early while Wakizashi Hanover did his best to lull the field to sleep through fractions of :28.2, :57.3 and 1:25. Artspeak latched onto cover while racing second over in the backstretch, and when Zeron swung him wide coming off the final the Tony Alagna trainee grew wings. The son of Western Ideal-The Art Museum uncorked a :26-second closing quarter en route to winning by a neck over the heavily-favoured Wakizashi Hanover. In The Arsenal, Lost For Words and Dealt A Winner nabbed the remaining cheques in the $32,465 tilt.
“I’ve gone on record many times saying that this horse had a lot of things not go his way earlier in the year,” Alagna said. “[There] were too many weeks in a row in his schedule; weeks that you couldn’t pass up for the amount of money they were going for. But, he’s as good right now as he’s ever been. Scott [Zeron] said today he was better in [1]:51[.3] than he was at Lexington in [1]:47 and change.
“Concerned was probably the best way to put it,” Alagna also said in regards to his reaction towards the slow fractions in the race. “When the race is setting up that way, you know your horse can sprint, but it’s so important to win these eliminations so you have a chance at a decent draw. Just that he was able to get up for the win means a lot.”
“Earlier in the year, when he had the North America Cup, the [Max] Hempt, Meadowlands Pace, and the New Jersey Classic, that was seven weeks in a row and the horse just doesn’t recover like a standardbred,” Alagna also said. “He’s very much more like a thoroughbred; if he can just have a week off here and there in his schedule, he’s as good as ever.”
Sent off at odds of 3-1, Artspeak improved his 2015 record to 6-4-1 from 16 starts with the win. He’s earned more than $1.6 million to date for the partnership of Brittany Farms, Marvin Katz, Joe Sbrocco and In The GYM Partners.

Tetrick got away third with the son of Rockin Image-Skyway Lori while Reverend Hanover fired to the front and supplied the field with first-half fractions of :27.1 and :56. Tetrick right-lined Freaky Feet Pete in the backstretch, and he applied heavy pressure on Reverend Hanover to the three-quarter pole in 1:23 before putting away that foe in deep stretch. Freaky Feet Pete’s final quarter of :26.2 propelled him to the win by 1-1/4 lengths over Artistic Major. Reverend Hanover, Dudes The Man and Penji Hanover also advance to next Saturday’s final.
“We’re pretty proud of him,” trainer Larry Rheinheimer stated. “We’ve always liked him real good and we’ve always been high on him. We’re giving him a chance.”
Anyone who has watched the development of this colt had to feel good that Rheinheimer opted to pay the supplement and showcase him to the racing world.
“We talked about it earlier, then it got a little bit harder, but then he raced good,” Rheinheimer said.
It was the convincing win over Wiggle It Jiggleit, who had beaten him earlier in the season at Hoosier Park, that convinced Rheinheimer to take the shot and literally buck up.
“I was hoping to get a trip with him,” Rheinheimer said.
The homebred races for Indiana partners Mary Jo Rheinheimer of La Grange and Marty Rheinheimer of Howe. The victory improved his 2015 record to 12-2-0 from 14 starts and it pushed his lifetime earnings to $633,082.
The draw for the $500,000 Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Colt and Gelding Pace will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at a press conference hosted by Woodbine Racetrack.
