Violence Filly Takes Fern Creek

Marissa's Lady took her record to two-for-two with her first black-type score at Churchill Saturday night. Rallying to a narrow score in her career bow over this strip Oct. 31, she was given a 3-1 chance in this event. Stalking from a second through a snappy first quarter in :22.18, the gray charged up to take control turning for home. Matareya confronted her on the fence, but Marissa's Lady found more late, rolling clear to score.

Marissa's Lady is the 34th black-type winner for her sire Violence. Her dam produced a Nyquist filly named Miss Quest in 2020 and an Idiot Proof colt named Harold's Joy in 2021. She was bred back to Idiot Proof. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Field Pass Holds Off Sacred Life To Take Seabiscuit At Del Mar

After making a bold move circling the field on the backstretch, Field Pass took the lead around the far turn and held off rallying Sacred Life and Indian Peak to take the Grade 2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

With early fractions of :23.77 and :48.19 from front runner Lambeau, jockey Umberto Rispoli moved Field Pass from fourth to confront the leader and second-place Bob and Jackie around the far turn. Entering the stretch, those two fell back, leaving Field Pass to take over the lead. On his outside were Sacred Life and Indian Peak driving down the center of the track, making up ground late.

At the wire, Field Pass was able to keep a head in front of Sacred Life, with Indian Peak three-quarters of a length back in third. Majestic Eagle, Flop Shot, Bob and Jackie, and Lambeau rounded out the order of finish.

The final time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:41.85. Find this race's chart here.

Field Pass paid $9.00, $3.40, and $3.00. Sacred Life paid $2.80 and $2.20. Indian Peak paid $6.20.

“I didn't want to stop the stride of my horse. (He made an early run when he cut his mount loose in the middle of the backstretch.) He was running happy and I was happy, too. He fought hard late and we got there first.” Umberto Rispoli said after the Seabiscuit.

“He (Rispoli) made that move yesterday (winning) on Red Storm Risen and they went 48 to the half so I figured clearly he knew more than I did.  He's one of those horses that once you make the move there's no turning back. He's a classy horse who has gotten the job done in a lot of places and I'm very proud of him,” Nolan Ramsey, assistant to Mike Maker, said after the race.

Bred in Maryland by Mark Brown Grier, Field Pass is by Lemon Drop Kid out of the Runaway Groom mare Only Me. He is owned by Three Diamonds Farm and trained by Mike Maker. Consigned by Becky Davis, the 4-year-old colt was sold to Owls Bloodstock for $37,000 at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Midatlantic Eastern Fall Yearling Sale. With his win in the G2 Seabiscuit, Field Pass has two wins in seven starts in 2021 for a lifetime record of eight wins in 23 starts and career earnings of $913,143.
