You’re To Blame and Ride a Comet Blaze a Path to Graded Stakes Victory
By Alexis Kolasa
Denali Stud is proud to follow our wonderful horses that we foaled, raised and sold as they advance in their racing careers! This past weekend, we had some great first Graded stakes wins from our very own RIDE A COMET and YOU’RE TO BLAME. Congratulations to the owners and all their connections!
RIDE A COMET earned his first Graded stake win in the G2 Del Mar Derby this past Sunday, September 2nd. This is his fifth win in 10 starts, increasing his earnings to $305,856. After a good break from the gate under jockey Drayden Van Dyke, he waited for room to run and finally got that chance coming off the far turn entering the stretch. He took down River Boyne in the final furlong and won the race by 1 ½ lengths. Van Dyke said, “He warmed up really well and gave me confidence. During the race it all came up perfect. Good trip all the way. When I swung him out, he gave me a big kick. I knew right then we were going to win it.” (Bloodhorse.com)
