Picov Derby
EC GREYS ANATOMY
by John Moorehouse
EC Greys Anatomy finished strong to secure his first-ever stakes vic- tory, winning the $44,705 Picov Derby
held at Ajax Downs on Sept. 28. Breaking from the 9-post, EC
Greys Anatomy was seventh going into the stretch then made a huge rush during the final yards, hitting the wire first by a head. Ed Walton was aboard for the stakes-winning trip.
Anna Rosiak owns EC Greys Anatomy, who is trained by Jason Pascoe and came into the derby as the fourth-quickest qualifier with a time of :20.638 from the Sept. 14 trials. The gelding surpassed that in the final, finishing in :19.960 for a 97 speed index.
The three-year-old gray geld-
ing got to the winner’s circle for
the fourth time in 13 starts, with
the $17,882 first-place share of the purse increasing his total earnings to $39,991. All four victories have come this year, part of a 13-4(1)-1-1 record in nine outs as a sophomore.
William E. Smith bred EC Greys Anatomy and owns his dam, CR Sugar N Spice, a 2007 mare who ran third
in the Remington Park Futurity-G1. She has produced 100% money earners from 10 starters. EC Greys Anatomy is her first stakes winner.
Eazy Street (Mighty B Valiant- Easily Holland), the post-time favorite at 3-2 odds, finished second for Carol
and Jaime Robertson. The Bryn Robertson trainee had Tony Phillips in the irons.
Another Pascoe trainee, One Kool Dynasty (FDD Dynasty-One Kool Bud), placed third under Helen Vanek for owner Belinda Taggart.
Marianita CSJ (Chicks Regard- Carefulwithmyheart), Silken Siri (Desirio-Silken Memories), Sweet Night Fever (Sweet First Down-Do Ya Disco), The Kingsmann (Valiant Hero-Shez Jess Nice), CC Senator Page (Louisiana Senator-Cassandra Chick), Eagle River Cowboy (One Famous Eagle-Fast Prize Corona) and Virtuosi (Favorite Cartel-Tsunami 09) completed the finishing order.
