Horseracing Betting Lines
02/11/2012 -
Hallandale Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hymn Book, making his 2012 debut,
outfought Mission Impazible down the stretch to win Saturday's $500,000
Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park. The six-year-old gelding covered the 1 1/8-
miles in 1:49.16 on a track listed as good.
Trained by Shug McGaughey, Hymn Book was 6-1 at post-time and settled
comfortably into fifth less than four-lengths off the lead. Trickmeister set
the pace up the backstretch with 2011 Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford in
second.
Shackleford, the 3-1 favorite in the 11-horse field, pressed the leader while
last year's Belmont Stakes champ Ruler On Ice was running in eighth. Hymn
Book, ridden by John Velazquez, was forced to race wide around the far turn
but was able to gain ground at the top of the stretch.
Mission Impazible and jockey Javier Castellano had the lead at the top of the
stretch and had a length lead heading to the wire. Hymn Book was bumped in
the stretch but still found something more to rally.
Hymn Book and Mission Impazible battled through the final 100 yards with
Velazquez getting his mount up at the wire. Hymn Book registered a nose
victory over Mission Impazible with Redeemed finishing third.
Where's Sterling, who bumped Hymn Book, finished fourth followed by Flat Out,
Trickmeister, Shackleford, Ruler On Ice, Sangaree, Al Khali and Soaring
Empire.
Hymn Book, who broke from an outside post, is owned by Stuart Janney III and
picked up $300,000 for the win. The gelding now has seven career wins in 14
starts with better than $600,000 in earnings.
The six-year-old was second in the Cigar Mile in November after winning a
minor stakes the previous month at Belmont Park. Earlier last year Hymn Book
was second to Flat Out in the Suburban Handicap and sixth in the Bernard
Baruch.
Hymn Book paid $15.00, $7.80 and $5.60. Mission Impazible returned $9.20 and
$5.80, and Redeemed paid $4.60 to show.
