Stayers' Watch: Gallant Man Handicap · 29.06.09

Thanks to The Blood-Horse and Thoroughbred Times, I almost missed the results of the second running of the Gallant Man Handicap at Hollywood Park. I know it’s a new race and is still un-graded — but as it was instituted as a prep for the Breeders’ Cup Marathon you would think that it would rate at least a mention in one of those major publications.

[Update: The Daily Racing Form did in fact report on the Gallant Man, bless their hearts…].

Anyway, thanks to Kayrite at the Thoroughbred Champions forum, here’s the YouTube video of the race. Kizzy’s Chaos wired the field to win the 1 5/8 mile stayers race on Hollywood’s synthetic track by four lengths. Church Service got up for second, just nosing out Medjool. Time: 2:43.48.
