Downs at Albuquerque Fall Championship-G1
DANJER
by Danny Camp
Danjer has won three of his last five starts, and nine out of eighteen total. The latest was in the $300,000 Downs at Albuquerque
Fall Championship-G1 on Sept. 20.
Danjer broke from the outside gate tardy
with Cody Smith aboard. They were in third at the first call and moved into second by the top of the stretch. Danjer rallied strongly and, with lots of grit they hung on to cross the fin- ish line a neck in front.
They completed the 440 yards in :21.084, which was good for a 103 speed index.
The four-year-old brown gelding also earned the first place check worth $150,000 for owners Dean R. Frey, Downtime Enterprises and Billy G. Smith. Dean Frey is also the breeder/trainer of Danjer.
The victory boosts Danjer’s total lifetime earn- ings to $736,955. The gelding also won the 2020 Canterbury Park Championship Challenge-G3, 2019 First Down Dash Stakes and 2018 All American Juvenile Stakes.
