United Nations Day Re-Cap
It was another great day at Monmouth Park. Presious Passion exploded out of the gate and never looked back in route to winning the United Nations for the second consecutive year. In the process, he smashed the old course record of 2:12.89 held by English Channel. He eclipsed that mark by almost two full seconds in 2:10.97. He set blazing fractions throughout the race and was never headed as he hit the wire first. At one point, he opened up a 20-length lead as he cruised along all by himself. The 6-year-old son of Royal Anthem is getting better with age, as he turned in his best effort of his career in winning the United Nations. There was a nice crowd around the winner’s circle to greet the champion as he returned from winning. He was a bit frisky in the winner’s circle, as he reared up and kicked once, but settled down for the winning snap shots. Presious Passion paid $7.40 and was the second choice, behind favorite Court Vision. Lauro (Ger) was second two lengths behind. He also earned a trip to the BC at Santa Anita…
Coal Play went to the lead and never looked back, taking the Salvator mile in front running fashion. Last year’s runner up to Big Brown in the Haskell certainly likes Monmouth Park. Coming off a big win last out at Belmont Park, Coal Play was in solid form as he was no match for the rest of the field. He also earned a spot in the dirt mile at Santa Anita, although it is not dirt. Coal Play paid $14.40 and favorite Smooth Air finished second.
A crowd of 15,210 showed up for the 4th of July T-Shirt give-a-way and was treated to a super day of racing, capped with a course record setting win by the home town hero Presious Passion.
