High Cotton Juvenile Shines at Spa

TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race." Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

Winner: Spurious Precision, c, 2 by High Cotton

2nd-SAR, $80,000, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:03 2/5, ft.
+SPURIOUS PRECISION (c, 2, High Cotton--Scarlet Combo, by Scarlet Ibis), let go at 6-1, was looking to follow in the footsteps of Currency Swap (High Cotton), an impressive debut winner here last August for these owners and trainer Terri Pompay who went on to take the GI Three Chimneys Hopeful S. at the end of the meet. After a slightly awkward beginning, the $105,000 OBSAPR buy zoomed up to press a :22.04 opening quarter. He took over entering the stretch and finished up well to take it by 3 1/2 lengths from third timer Show Some Magic (Any Given Saturday), who was coming off a runner-up effort to GIII Bashford Manor S. winner Circle Unbroken (Broken Vow) at Churchill Downs June 17. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $48,000. Click for the brisnet.com chart or Video, sponsored by Taylor Made Sales.
