Chasing Time Race Recap

Chasing Time was third this afternoon, and was claimed for the $40K (pending post-race vet inspection as always), which we certainly knew was a possibility. Trainer Carlos Santamaria was the claimant.

He ran well, showing good speed and mounting a three-wide bid into a sharp pace. The pace came apart a bit late after those quick early fractions, but Chasing Time continued to fight on well to the wire. It’s certainly fair to say that was the proper level for him, and perhaps with a more patient ride he could have been right there on the wire.

As always, we will keep a close eye on him going forward and, if ever warranted, will make every effort to aid in his retirement and post-career placement. It’s important to keep in mind that the claiming tag today was still on the relatively high end and he’s been a pretty healthy and sound horse, so we see no reason at this time that he can’t continue to race safely for his new connections. He showed lots of desire to race today.

Thank you to everyone for your involvement with Chasing Time. We wish him the best of luck and, again, will continue to watch him closely.
