A Day to Remember Race Recap

A Day to Remember just checked in third beaten a half-length in his comeback race at Del Mar. He broke a half-step slowly, but quickly moved up to chase the eventual longshot winner in second. Your chestnut seemed to have that one’s measure as they straightened for home, but he never found that extra gear he needed to to power past and was tagged for second by another foe who came up the inside.

Jockey Umberto Rispoli felt that perhaps A Day to Remember was waiting on the other horses a bit, and did note that it seemed like he needed the race from a fitness perspective and should step forward next time with that start under his belt.

It’s no doubt a bit disappointing given the expectations we had for this race and the short odds he went off at, but A Day to Remember didn’t run a bad race by any means and we have something to build on now. We’ll see how he comes back and hopefully get him back out there for another run at Del Mar next month.
