Chasing Time Update

We checked back in with the Asmussen barn and following the Woody Stephens Chasing Time was scoped. There was a trace amount of blood and mucus thus having to be reported as a 1 out of 5 on the scale of bleeders. It was very muggy on Saturday and the vet reported that there was more than the usual number of slight bleeders on that day at Belmont overall. Given the warmer temperatures and muggy atmosphere the Asmussen barn was not concerned by the minimal amount of blood found.

Sensitive Information Update – MyRacehorse prides itself on being transparent and sharing as much information as possible. However, there are certain updates we believe would be best kept between just our owners. While some things are exciting to share others may give our competition a competitive edge. We kindly ask that this post not be shared on social media outside of the horses Facebook group.

Chasing Time Update

We are happy to report that Chasing Time is training great at Oaklawn Park since his last race on December 17th. He will be turning 3 years old on January 1st and a possible first-race target of 2022 could come in an allowance race at Oaklawn Park on January 14th.

Chasing Time’s current exercise rider, Keeghan Murray, says our Not This Time colt is as classy as they come.

“He’s super easy going and classy. He likes to train. for sure. He was a little aggressive the first couple days back from his last race. He’s the kind of horse that is all business on the track,” Keeghan said.

Keeghan is the older brother of jockey Drayden Van Dyke and has worked for a handful of well-known trainers in the industry, including Hall of Famer Nick Zito, Peter Miller, and Tom Amoss.

We will follow up with a workout report after Chasing Time’s next breeze, as well as send out an update when a race plan has been finalized.

Finalized Financials

 

Here are the finalized financials from Chasing Time’s win at Churchill Downs in November. A final distribution of $0.11/share has been added to your MRH wallet, in addition to the previously paid out race day instant payout.

Chasing Time Update

Chasing Time returned to the track yesterday morning at Oaklawn Park for the first time since his second-place effort last Friday. He went out for a short, easy gallop and felt great according to his exercise rider, Keeghan.

Chasing Time grabs second place

Chasing Time ran a strong race Sunday, finishing second to upset winner Spartan Army in a six-furlong maiden special weight at Churchill Downs.

The 2-year-old son of Not This Time broke on top in the field of nine, but was passed by Mean Jakey and settled into second on the backstretch. In the turn, Royal Consort came to Chasing Time’s outside, but Chasing Time wouldn’t let him pass.

Once in the stretch, Chasing Time was three-wide and eventually moved to the rail in his stretch duel with Spartan Army. Our 6-5 favorite battled, but couldn’t catch the winner and lost by three-quarters of a length. The winning time was 1:10.94 over a fast main track.

Jockey Julien Leparoux said it was a good race for Chasing Time, making his second race appearance.

“He broke pretty sharp today, put us in a good spot,” Leparoux said. “The outside horse came on us, but he kept fighting on. He ran a decent race. I think (Spartan Army) is good.”

We will check with the Steve Asmussen barn to see how Chasing Time came out of the race

Chasing Time Workout Report

Chasing Time worked an easy three furlongs by himself this morning, covering the ground in 38 seconds flat. It is not unusual for Steve Asmussen to breeze a slower three furlongs before a race.

Chasing Time completed the task on his own and was happy in doing so. He is going into Sunday’s target race in great shape. He’s shown that he has progressed since his first race. Entries will be taken tomorrow. We will send out an update once entries are official.

Chasing Time Update

Chasing Time galloped over the Keeneland main track this morning bright and early going in the first set. Our young Not This Time colt was feeling playful and enjoys having his pony as company while walking to the track.

Chasing Time Race Recap

 

A very encouraging career debut from Chasing Time today as the colt finished fourth, beaten just three lengths, at Churchill Downs.

Our 2-year-old showed some first-race jitters as soon as the gates opened and he veered out from his outside post under jockey Brian Hernandez Jr.

He quickly was straightened and found himself up fairly close to the pace after several strides out of the gate. Hernandez then let the colt settled off the early leaders in fifth position down the backstretch, but as the field entered the turn, Chasing Time was on the inside and had a wall of horses in front of him. Hernandez had to swing the colt to the outside for a five-wide run in the stretch.

“He ran a good race,” Hernandez said. “He broke from the outside for the first time and took the dirt well and everything else. He turned for home and wheeled out, and I thought he was going ahead to win it from there, but he had tough trip the first part and he got a little tired late. But I think he will improve a lot off of this race.”

As Hernandez said, this is the type of effort that will greatly benefit Chasing Time for his next start.

We will follow up tomorrow with a report on how Chasing Time exited the race.
