Boys At Tosconova ready to improve his record in a nonwinners-of-three-lifetime allowance race at Belmont Park
Jay Em Ess Stable’s Boys At Tosconova is headed to Belmont Park to make his second start of the 2011 season in a nonwinners-of-three-lifetime allowance race which will be run over at six and a half furlongs on 11 November, 2011.
The Kentucky bred son of Officer, out of Little Bonnet by Coronado’s Quest, the 3-year-old colt Boys At Tosconova had a brilliant juvenile season when he kicked off his racing career in the Grade 3 Kentucky Juvenile at Churchill Downs on 30 April, 2010,
but finished a length off Lou Brissie who topped the 5 furlong distance on dirt in 57.80 seconds.
On 2 July, 2010, Boys At Tosconova was entered in a maiden special weight race over at five furlongs at Belmont Park. Under Ramon Dominguez the, then, 2-year-old colt broke his maiden successfully on dirt and completing the five furlong long dash in 56.26
seconds.
Right after acing his maiden race, trainer Richard Dutrow sent Boys At Tosconova to try his luck in one of the biggest races for juvenile colts, the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga on 6 September, 2011. The dirt race as stretched out to seven furlong.
Furlong off a mile, Boys At Tosconova was the one to watch as he romped past his opponents to claim his first grade 1 win in his first attempt, and announced himself in top company and reserved himself as the one to watch out as a 3-year-old.
Boys At Tosconova defeated Mike Repole owned and Todd Pletcher trained Stay Thirsty in the seven furlong dash, which he covered in 1 minute and 23.27 seconds.
Running high on confidence, Richard Dutrow sent Boys At Tosconova to try his luck in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs on 6 November, 2011, as the colt finished second to the 2-year-old sensation Uncle Mo.
Had Boys At Tosconova won the Juvenile, he would’ve been a strong contender for the 2-year-old champion Horse of the Year, but Uncle Mo stole the show that day and eventually went on to become the juvenile champion.
Since his comeback after 11 months, Boys At Tosconova breezed three times at Aqueduct, and he topped it off with a six furlong move in 1 minute and 13 seconds ahead of the allowance race.
