Ritvo Takes One-Two Punch Into Saturday’s Carry Back Stakes

Reeves Thoroughbred Racing's Double Crown and Ournationonparade will join forces or Saturday's $75,000 Carry Back at Gulfstream Park, giving trainer Kathy Ritvo a potent 1-2 punch in the seven-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds.

The Carry Back highlights the July 4th program, along with the $75,000 Azalea, a seven-furlong sprint for 3-year-old fillies.

Double Crown is coming off a gutsy half-length victory over graded-stakes winner and Grade 1 stakes-placed Green Light Go in the May 16 Roar Stakes at Gulfstream, in which he rallied from mid-pack to get an edge over the 2019 Champagne (G1) runner-up to Tiz the Law in mid-stretch that he would maintain to the wire.

“He's so professional. What you see in his races is what you get,” Ritvo said. “He's just a nice classy horse.”

The gelded son of Bourbon Courage won at first asking for trainer Lacey Gaudet in a Sept. 8 maiden special weight race at Laurel Park, finishing a head in front of pacesetter Ournationonparade, who was debuting for trainer Bernie Haughton. Impressed by both efforts, Dean and Patti Reeves went ahead and privately purchased both promising Maryland-bred 2-year-olds.

Double Crown was given time off after his debut victory and returned to action for Ritvo at Gulfstream with a second-place finish in an April 26 allowance, in which he ran into traffic before falling a half-length short of victory with a strong late rally. Double Crown, who came back to win the Roar, hasn't raced beyond 6 ½ furlongs in three starts.

“I think he'll go long. He's a nice enough horse that we decided to do everything right by him and give him the best opportunity to have a great career,” Ritvo said. “We're trying to give him time to develop into a good horse.”

Cristian Torres has the return mount.

The Carry Back will mark the fourth meeting between Double Crown and Ournationonparade, who made a wide bid on the far turn in the Roar before running evenly in the stretch to finish fourth, beaten 5 ¾ lengths by his stablemate.

Ournationonparade lost his rider after clipping heels in his previous race, in which Double Crown finished second April 26.

“He hasn't had the best of luck,” Ritvo said. “He's going into this race really well. I'm really happy with him too.”

After being purchased by the Reeves out of his debut, Ournationonparade returned immediate dividends, breaking his maiden in the $100,000 Maryland Million Nursery Oct. 19 for Haughton. Ournationonparade went on to finish third in the Feb. 29 Hutcheson, in which he was beaten a half-length in his first start for Ritvo.

Luca Panici is scheduled to ride Ournationonparade for the first time Saturday.

Eric Worth's With Verve looms as a strong opponent for the Ritvo-trained duo while cutting back to seven furlongs Saturday after finishing fifth behind graded-stakes winner Sole Volante in a mile allowance at Gulfstream June 10. The Larry Bates-trained son of Kantharos previously finished third in the Road, 1 ½ lengths behind Double Crown, and won the Hutcheson, in which he finished two necks ahead of Ournationonparade.

Hall of Famer Edgar Prado has the return mount.

Newtown Anner Stud and KimDon Racing LLC's Prince James is slated to make his 2020 debut in the Carry Back after finishing fifth in the Remsen (G2) at Aqueduct in his juvenile finale. The Kelsey Danner-trained son of Tiznow previously won his debut at Monmouth and finished second in an allowance race at Churchill Downs.

Edgard Zayas has the call on Prince James, who has run around two turns in all three of his career starts.

Shadybrook Farm Inc.'s Cajun Brother will be seeking to rebound from his first career loss while cutting back from a mile to seven furlongs. The Michael Yates-trained son of Cajun Breeze set a hotly contested pace before fading to sixth in a May 16 allowance. Previously, Cajun Brother scored back-to-back wins in a maiden special weight race and an optional claiming allowance, both at six furlongs.

Regular rider Miguel Vasquez has the call.

Arindel's Poe is slated to make his 2020 debut Saturday after winning two of seven starts last year. Emisael Jaramillo has be mount aboard the stakes-placed son of Brethren, who is trained by Juan Alvarado.

Formerly Based In Mexico, Clasico Del Caribe Winner Letruska Returns To Florida For Added Elegance

St. George Stable LLC's Letruska is set to make her return to Gulfstream Park's main track for the first time since outrunning older males during a 4 ¼-length romp at the demanding 1 ¼-mile distance last December.

The 4-year-old daughter of Super Saver, who remained undefeated in seven career starts in the Copa Invitacional del Caribe on the Dec. 8 Clasico Internacional del Caribe program, is scheduled to clash with seven other fillies and mares in Saturday's $60,000 Added Elegance at Gulfstream.

First race post for Saturday's 12-race program is noon. Six of the dozen races are scheduled for the turf, with four scheduled as part of the Rainbow 6 along with the Added Elegance.

Trainer Fausto Gutierrez had nominated Letruska to the June 11 Coaltown, an overnight handicap for 3-year-olds and up that attracted Grade 1 runners Math Wizard and Diamond Oops, but opted to wait for Saturday's mile overnight stakes for fillies and mares.

“She has worked very good. She's been very relaxed,” said Gutierrez, whose stable is now based at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream Park's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County. “I tried to run her two times, once against the boys, but in the end, I decided to wait because this race was very near. I think this is the perfect race for her.”

Although Letruska had already proven herself against males in the Copa Invitacional del Caribe, she was in receipt of a five-pound weight allowance as a 3-year-old and an eight-pound allowance as a filly.

“The last time [she ran against males] she got 13 pounds, it was a good handicap,” said Gutierrez, whose stable was primarily based in Mexico until this year.

Letruska sustained her first career loss in her turf debut in the Dec. 28 Tropical Park Oaks, in which she set a very keen early pace before tiring to 13th. The Kentucky-bred filly rebounded while returning to dirt and coming off a 3 ½-month layoff to capture an April 16 allowance at Oaklawn Park.

“She was incredible off the layoff. She ran a very high [speed] figure. She ran against very nice competition, fillies who have run in stakes,” Gutierrez said.

Letruska set a solid early pace and drew away to a 2 ¼-length victory in the 1 1/16-mile allowance in which the runner-up was Todd Pletcher-trained Nonna Madeline, a multiple graded stakes-placed filly who is also entered in Saturday's Added Elegance.

Letruska came back to sustain her first career loss on dirt April 30 at Oaklawn, tiring to third after setting a pressured pace in a mile allowance won by multiple graded-stakes winner Blamed.

“The second time she ran at Oaklawn, it was just 14 days after the first,” Gutierrez said. “It was like a stakes. Out of seven who ran six won stakes.”

Emisael Jaramillo, who was aboard for the Copa Invitacional del Caribe victory, will be back aboard Letruska, who will carry 126 pounds, four more than Nonna Madeline, Saturday.

Teresa Viola Racing Stables and St. Elias Stable's Nonna Madeline is set to make her first start since finishing second behind Letruska April 16. The 4-year-old daughter of Candy Ride had previously finished third in the Inside Information (G2) and fourth in the Hurricane Bertie (G3) after winning an allowance off a 14-month layoff during Gulfstream's Championship Meet.

Edgard Zayas is slated to ride Nonna Madeline for the first time Saturday.

Ken Copenhaver's Queen Nekia will seek to rebound from a 10th-place finish in the April 18 Apple Blossom (G1) at Oaklawn Park Saturday. The 5-year-old daughter of Harlington had previously finished third at Gulfstream in the Royal Delta (G2), beaten three-quarters of a length by victorious Cookie Dough.

Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. gave the call aboard Queen Nekia to Samy Camacho.

Irving Cowan's Remarkable Soul, Steven Dwoskin's Helping Lisa D., Starship Stables and Steven Dwoskin's Starship Bonita, Magic Stables LLC and Cairoli Racing Stable's Bella Ciao, and My Purple Haze Stables LLC's Heiressall round out the field.
