Nuncio and John Campbell |
Jimmy Takter trainees Nuncio and Father Patrick swept the Bluegrass divisions for male trotters on Sunday at The Red Mile. John Campbell piloted Nuncio to a 1:50.4 score in the opening $94,100 division and stablemate Father Patrick and Yannick Gingras won the $93,100 second split, also in 1:50.4.
Delivering on his 1-5 pari-mutuel promise, Nuncio took over command down the stretch and left his rivals in the dust to score a career-best 1:50.4 triumph in the first $94,100 division for colts.
Nuncio's winning time was just three-fifths of a second off Donato Hanover and Muscle Hill's world record for sophomore trotting colts and geldings.
Hillustrious (Yannick Gingras) left alertly from post four and established the lead over Damfoolrmillionair (Tim Tetrick) through a :27.4 first quarter. However, Datsyuk (Charlie Morris) made a move early on, sweeping up from third to take over command and reaching the half in :54.4.
At the midway mark, driver John Campbell edged Nuncio out from fourth with the backfield moving underway. As they began to advance, Hillustrious pulled back out from the pocket for the retake.
Hillustrious passed three-quarters in 1:23.3 with Nuncio in pursuit. The favourite trotted by with an eighth of a mile to go and quickly opened up six lengths for his seventh win of the season. Hillustrious stayed for second and Mr Lindy (Scott Zeron) came on for third.
"Before if you started him up at the gate you couldn't stop him, but his manners have gotten so much better and he relaxes in a hole," noted Campbell after the race. "They were going lots on the front so when I did move him he trotted up there comfortably and he trotted home well within himself when I asked him.
"I knew he would get up close to the lead the third quarter without using him too hard. I've got a lot of confidence in him. If he's not used too hard to the three-quarter pole he's going to give you a real good run through the stretch. He felt strong there and actually the cover [when Hillustrious pulled back out] helped him a little bit. He had a few steps more of cover, but I was pretty sure coming off the turn for home that he was going to win."
Owned by Stall Tz Inc., the millionaire son of Andover Hall and Nicole Isabelle has not finished worse than second in his 12 stakes starts this year, defeated only by fellow Jimmy Takter stablemates Father Patrick and Trixton.
Nuncio will hook up with Father Patrick again in next Sunday's Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile and Campbell is hoping he can pull off the upset.
"I think it will happen one of these times," he said. "My horse races good every time, he just hasn't been able to beat Father Patrick. There's a reason for that, Father Patrick is a great horse, but I'm still hopeful before the end of the year that he'll get it done one of these races."

The race served as a tune up for the overwhelming 1-9 favourite, who had the inside advantage and faced just four other starters after two scratches, all sent to post at odds of 15-1 or higher.
Lightning Force (David Miller) left hard from the outside to get a jump start on Father Patrick, but the Canadian Trotting Classic champion easily bypassed him after a :28.1 opening quarter. He then cruised through middle splits of :56 and 1:23.3 and drew off down the stretch under no urging from driver Yannick Gingras to the dominant victory. Lightning Force followed in second and Martiniwithmuscle (Ivan Davies) trotted home in third.
"He's one of a kind," said Takter in the winner's circle. "I've never been around a horse even close to this guy."
With 20 wins in 23 career starts, the Cantab Hall-Gala Dream colt is quickly approaching the $2 million earnings mark for his connections from the Father Patrick Stable.
Takter also had nothing but praise for Nuncio and his determination.
"I got to give that horse [Nuncio] a lot of credit," he added. "He's been chasing this horse [Father Patrick] for over two years and he's still keeping his spirit up. He's a fantastic horse."
