Stayers' Watch: Round Table Handicap (June 13) · 21.06.09
French-bred gelding Obrigado hadn’t won a race since the February 2007 San Luis Obispo Handicap. In-between he had been entered in 15 races, with his best finishes coming in April’s San Juan Capistrano (3rd) and last year’s Hollywood Turf Cup (2nd). Last week, however, Obrigado finally got it done, overpowering a field of four other horses in Hollywood Park’s Round Table Handicap (gr. IIIT). He rallied from last to sweep past Porfido en route to a 3 1/4-length win, with Zappa finishing third. Winning time: 2:54.49 on “firm” turf.
