Hoolie Racing Stable's Chiseler had a perfect rail-skimming ride by Corey Lanerie to record the first stakes victory of his career in Saturday's third running of the $100,000 Dade Park Dash at Ellis Park.
Chiseler is trained by Greg Foley, who won three stakes events over the last seven days. Prior to Saturday's Dade Park Dash, Foley had a stakes double on Stephen Foster Day when Stitched pulled a massive upset in the Wise Dan (G2) and veteran Bango won the Kelly's Landing Stakes.
It was a four-way duel for the early lead in the Dade Park Dash between Mounsieur Coco, Bal a Kazoo, Major Blue, and Storm Daddy as the quartet dashed through a quarter mile in :21.29. Lanerie positioned Chiseler fifth in the early stages of the 5½-furlong turf sprint, about one-length behind the pacesetters. Around the far turn, Lanerie guided Chiseler to the rail but initially didn't have enough of a space to come through. At the eighth pole, Chiseler stuck his nose inside Mounsieur Coco and powered through for a convincing 2¼-length victory in a final time of 1:01.82
“It was really special winning this race with the Hudson Family from Hoolie Racing here with us,” assistant trainer Travis Foley said. “The Hudsons have a rich history here at Ellis Park and it was a great win for our barn and owners.”
The Dade Park Dash was Chiseler's second career victory from 10 starts. The chestnut gelding tabbed $60,535 for his win bringing his career purse earnings to $166,582.
Chiseler is a 3-year-old son of Speightstown out of the Hard Spun mare Spindle. He was bred in Kentucky by Purple H Bloodstock.
