Mike Hastings Memorial
CAPTAIN ON TAKEOFF
by Danny Camp
Captain On Takeoff took off like a jet in the Mike Hastings Memorial at Turf Paradise on Dec. 11.
He was in first place at the break and, when it came time to land, he crossed the wire 3/4-length in front. Martin Osuna was sitting quiet for the first part of the race and held well to ensure the victory. A small head wind had little effect on Captain On Takeoff, who was never headed in the contest. He clocked in with a running time of :19.699 for the 400-yards to earn a 99 speed index.
Captain On Takeoff took off with the $12,499 first place check, boosting his earnings to $54,929. The gelding was coming off a win in the Wayne Brasher Memorial Stakes, and he also finished sec- ond in this year’s Sonoita Ranchers Bonus Challenge.
