[北美] 卓隆錦標 龍勁武士愈戰愈勇

Updated: Jan 8, 2023



跟當地的寒冷天氣大相逕庭,今屆進軍肯塔基打吡的紐約線路,早至一月已經熱哄哄,惡戰連場。星期六 (7/1) 雅基特上演,未評級的第 152 屆 卓隆錦標 (Jerome Stakes),八匹三歲馬角逐泥地 (單彎道) 一哩;從藍星錦標 (二級賽) 一組「強、強」對壘之後,降格轉戰的 #6「北極霸氣」(ARCTIC ARROGANCE),李健龍跑出幾乎完美一程,可惜更見強中手,三仗未失過三甲的 #4「龍勁武士」(LUGAN KNIGHT,戴緯善) 名符其實愈戰愈勇,半步不讓,放足全程,兩駒鬥足一條直路,仍然以 1:37.77 力保勝果,全取 10 點子頭馬得分;反之賽前備受看俏的 #1「智能網絡」(NEURAL NETWORK),始終首度開上錦標賽,早段已見程度跟不上,有兩日內出 11 場、贏 9 場頭馬的范銘高 (Manny Franco) 助陣,氣勢再銳亦難以反先,僅得第四。

In stark contrast against its wintry January, the Road to Kentucky Derby through New York - is already turning on some high heat this January. #6 ARCTIC ARROGANCE, fresh off a tough second-place effort in the Remsen Stakes (GII) in December, was favored in Saturday's $150,000 Jerome Stakes, an ungraded one-turn mile for sophomores at Aqueduct, with a 10-4-3-2-1 points scale towards the First Saturday in May. However, it was the stubborn, free-wheeling #4 LUGAN KNIGHT (Dylan Davis), yet to miss the board through three career starts, that stayed on top after a thrilling stretch duel with the roan New York-bred, whereas Klararvich Stable's highly-regarded #1 NEURAL NETWORK - even with the red-hot Manny Franco in the irons, who guided home 9 winners from his 11 booked mounts through the last 48 hours in New York - found the water just a little too deep upon his first attempt in stakes company, clearly struggled in the early stages, barely contended, and was only fourth-best.
