Race Comments: BLUES STREET settled inside early, advanced just off the rail around the second turn, rallied mid track and was clearly best. DUBIOUS MISS never far back, bid three wide for the drive, took over nearing mid stretch, then was no match for the winner late. BALTIMORE BOB within striking distance, lacked the needed finish along the rail. TRANSDUCTION GOLD prompted the pace outside ACTING ZIPPY to the drive, then weakened. GRETSKY devoid speed, improved position. SILVERFOOT far back to the drive, passed beaten foes. GET RICH QUICK unhurried, came three wide around the second turn while outrun. ACTING ZIPPY set the pace to the drive, then stopped. SECRET GETAWAY inside early while unhurried, stopped after entering the drive and was eased.

Blues Street Drills Rivals in Fair Grounds Handicap

Antsu Stables’ Blues Street paved the way for happier times in the Todd Pletcher barn at Fair Grounds by capturing Saturday’s Grade III Fair Grounds Handicap by 2 1/4-lengths one race after Glencrest Farm’s Devil May Care disappointed as the favorite in the Grade III Silverbulletday Stakes.

One race after Blues Street’s stepping stone score, Paul Robsham’s Discreetly Mine made things better yet for the Pletcher barn by winning the Grade II Risen Star Stakes.

“You lose some, you win some,” said Pletcher’s assistant trainer Ginny DePasquale immediately after the Fair Grounds Handicap. “I thought the filly (Devil May Care) had the best chance of all of our horses, but this horse has always been a very dependable honest horse.  I think he’s getting better as he gets older.”  

Blues Street, a 6-year-old gelding by Street Cry, was allowed to settle early by rider Javier Castellano, rallied boldly when set down for the drive and wore down David Holloway Racing’s Dubious Miss in the final furlong. The winner returned mutuels of $5.80, $3.60 and $3, accomplished the about nine furlong distance over a Stall-Wilson turf course rated firm in 1:51.71, and increased his career earnings to $307,178 with his seventh victory in 21 career starts.

“It felt great,” said Castellano, who also was aboard the winning Discreetly Mine in the Risen Star. “I really liked the way the race developed. I was very satisfied. I’d never got on this horse before. I appreciate Todd Pletcher giving me the opportunity to get on this horse.”

Dubious Miss, always well placed in the Fair Grounds ‘Cap, gained a clear advantage at the furlong grounds, could not withstand the winner late but was easily second best, finishing 4 1/2 lengths to the good of Kaygar Stables and Robert Gerczak’s  Baltimore Bob, who lacked the needed late response.

Dubious Miss paid $9.80 and $6.60, and Baltimore Bob returned $4.40 in the show spot.

William Don Bennett and Carl Bowling’s Acting Zippy made the early pace with fractions of 24.97 and 49.99 over the grass before fading to eighth. The Fair Grounds Handicap is the final local designed prep for Fair Grounds’ Grade II Mervin Muniz Memorial Handicap March 27.
