Overanalyze’s Two of a Kind Holds ‘Em All in Tremont

   Two of a Kind remained unbeaten in two starts with a game front-running score in the Tremont S. Thursday at Belmont.

Unveiled at over 7-1 May 4 at Churchill, the Brian Lynch trainee popped out to the front from the rail and widened in the lane for a 3 3/4-length score. Made a narrow 2-1 favorite Thursday, the bay wasn't quite swiftest out of the gate, but overtook longshot Putthepastbehind in the opening furlong. Clicking off a :22.40 quarter while lightly pressed by Zelenskyy Strong (Uncaptured) on the turn, he discarded that rival nearing the lane, but faced a fresh challenge from No Nay Hudson (Ire) (No Nay Never). Two of a Kind continued to find down the stretch though, turning back that rival and a resurgent Putthepastbehind.

   “He's always been a precocious sort of colt. He's physically very mature and mentally he's mature,” said trainer Brian Lynch. “We can't be anything but happy with these last couple performances, the one at Churchill and the one today.”

Old Homestead Continues to ‘Appreciate’ with Lafayette Victory

Old Homestead continues his perfect, albeit young, career with a commanding victory in the Lafayette S. on Keeneland's opening day of the spring meet. The Florida-bred began his career with an 11 1/2 length blow out Jan. 28 at Delta Downs, finding no competitor against an open field of maidens at five furlongs. Staying sprinting on the main track at the venue, it was a similarly devastating performance against an allowance field as Old Homestead coasted home by 5 3/4 uncontested lengths.

Stepping into stakes company, the Brett Brinkman trainee was sent off at 8-1 odds and it was second verse, same as the first: the colt broke on top, commanded the early pace, and pulled away from competition in the stretch under steady urging to win by 3 3/4 lengths despite not changing leads until the final sixteenth. Surfer Dude tracked from second all the way around and held his spot in the lane.

The winner is his dam's first foal and stakes winner. He has a 2-year-old half-sister by Astern (Aus) named Cora Pearl and the mare delivered a 2022 filly by Practical Joke. This is the family of Italian Group 1-placed runner Without Connexion (Ire),  Grade I Frizette S. winner Yellow Agate (Gemologist), and six other group or graded runners.

Piedi Bianchi Splashes Into Indiana History With Victory In Cardinal Stakes

Piedi Bianchi, the standout Indiana bred mare by Overanalyze, has won races from coast to coast. Her connections always works in a stop in Indiana each year for stakes action, and her win in the $150,000 Cardinal Stakes Wednesday, Oct. 6 at Indiana Grand moved her into the record books. With total earnings now of $823,497, she is third on the list of all-time leading Indiana breds and second by only dollars behind Lady Fog Horn to be the all-time winningest Indiana bred female in Indiana history.

Based out of New York, Piedi Bianchi was accompanied by East Coast rider Tyler Gaffalione for her start in the Cardinal Stakes. Just as the field of eight was entering the starting gate, a torrential rain blasted down with horses almost at times unrecognizable on the television monitors.

Piedi Bianchi left from post seven and got into good early positioning as expected on the inside and was immediately joined by Magical Peapod and Florent Geroux, who placed pressure on them through the first half of the one and one-sixteenth mile race. Down the backstretch, Fireball Baby and Marcelino Pedroza Jr. joined in on the pressure, moving three wide at the halfway marker before slipping over to duel with just Piedi Bianchi.

In the stretch, Piedi Bianchi did what she does best, drew away from the field and was an eventual winner by four and one-half lengths at the finish line. Fireball Baby finished second over Bumble of Love and Rodney Prescott, who closed for third over the sloppy track.

Piedi Bianchi now has eight career wins in 27 career starts for owners Jay Oringer, Jack Bick, Lucien Bianchi and Jordan Rubenstein's Al Bianchi Racing, LLC, Adam Bayroff and Mike Maturo. Carlos Martin trains the striking grey filly who was a purchase by her connections for $80,000 out of the Ocala Breeders Two-Year-Old Sale in 2017. It was the fifth stakes win for Piedi Bianchi, who is a Graded Stakes placed six-year-old.

“She slipped a little at the start, so I didn't want to rush her, but she broke pretty good, so we were able to get near the front early,” said Gaffalione through an interview with Jimmy McNerney, guest racing analyst. “I wasn't concerned about the pressure because she was doing it easily and was pretty comfortable. When I threw to her a little, she gave me everything she had. She is just a classy horse.”

Piedi Bianchi is now behind all-time Indiana bred leader Bucchero, who has $947,000 in earnings, followed by Lady Fog Horn who earned in excess of $824,000 during her career. Piedi Bianchi is moving into the final strides of her racing career and her connections hope to retire her at the end of the 2021 racing season.
