Lee Berwick Futurity-RG1
BLOOD MONEY
by Michael Compton
The precocious two-year-old colt Blood Money kept his perfect record unblemished with a fourth consecutive victory and second stakes score with a determined victory in the $826,620 Lee Berwick Futurity-RG1 at Delta Downs on July 31.
With regular rider Everardo Rodriguez in the irons, Blood Money, despite breaking out at the start, raced in third position early in
the 350-yard dash, chasing 16-1 long shot San Lorenzeaux and jockey Raul Ramirez Jr. In a spirited stretch duel, the pair of rivals dueled
to the wire, with Blood Money getting up in time to win the race by a head at the finish. It was 2-lengths back to third-place finisher TDZ Royal Runaway and jockey David Alvarez.
The odds-on wagering favorite and fastest qualifier from the July 9 trials, Blood Money stopped the timer in :17.296, earning a 98 speed index. Winner of this year’s Laddie Futurity-RG2 on June 12 at Delta Downs,
