Through the binocs

Today is another Party in the Park; first post, 3 p.m.

FOURTH RACE: Linda Rice's Resoundingly, favored at 9-5 under Javier Castellano, looked like a winner every step of the way until the final two or three. Rogue, 8-1 under Elvis Trujillo, opened a slight lead down the backside, tracked by Resoundingly, with 2-1 Centrina stalking a few lengths back in third under a snug hold by Jose Espinoza. Resoundingly went after Rogue turning for home to take the lead at the top of the stretch, while Centrina rallied to her outside. Through the long run down the stretch, Resoundingly was safely holding Centrina at bay and looked home free, until Centrina surged in the final strides to get her nose down in the last jump. It was the fourth straight victory for Centrina, trained by Carlos Martin, the last three of those in photo-finishes.

FIFTH RACE: When Jerry Bailey retired, did he transfer his rail pass to Ramon Dominguez? Barclay Tagg's Beau Choix, 3-1 coming off a fourth in the Poker, tucked in along the rail under Dominguez, well off the pace set by Stormy's Majesty pressed by Boots Ahead. Turning for home, Beau Choix was bottled up behind the leaders, and after first contemplating splitting horses at the top of the stretch, Dominguez instead opted to drop back inside, where he found running room along the fence. Beau Choix drove through the hole to take the lead in deep stretch, edging 6-1 Pocket Cowboys, who rallied wide under Edgar Prado.

SEVENTH RACE: What an easy game! Linda Rice, the queen of turf sprints, had an uncoupled entry in this grass dash of 5-2 favorite Pegasus Tommy D. and 7-2 Quick Money. Quick Money led all the way under Ramon Dominguez, holding on to win a photo-finish over fast-closing Pegasus Tommy D., Cornelio Velasquez up. The Linda Rice exacta box came back $26.20.
