Following a wide trip today, Carrothers finished seventh at Aqueduct in his dirt debut.<\/p>\n

Ridden by Eric Cancel, Carrothers raced in fifth position down the backstretch of the one-mile race after breaking from outside post 10. Turning for home, he was seven-wide, but looked like he was going to do some running at the eighth pole — despite racing on the wrong lead — but he failed to have a strong enough closing punch to be impactful at the finish.<\/p>\n

Carrothers was beaten nine lengths by the winner and post-time favorite, Core Conviction. Overall, the effort was a vast improvement over his 20 1\/2-length loss on the turf in his U.S. debut.<\/p>\n

Trainer Bill Mott told our East Coast Racing Manager, Harry Rice: “I thought he broke well, and was in a good position early on. I would’ve been a bit happier if we were closer to the rail, but that’s ok. We were bumped going around the turn, but it didn’t seem to bother him too much. I thought we were in a great spot at the eighth pole, but he just didn’t kick on.”<\/p>\n

Leana Willaford, Mott’s New York-based assistant, reported that Carrothers scoped clean after the race. In the coming days, we will report back with how the colt came out of his race.<\/p>\n
