New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Champion colt Lookin At Lucky made a double
move in this week's NTRA National Thoroughbred Poll off his victory Sunday in
the Haskell Invitational. The three-year-old colt jumped from fifth to third
following the impressive victory at Monmouth Park.
Lookin At Lucky, the 2009 champion two-year-old male, ran to a four-length win
over six rivals in the 1 1/8-mile Haskell. The commanding victory enabled him
to receive 128 points, third most in the voting. The colt is expected to start
in the Travers at Saratoga on August 28.
Champion mare Zenyatta remains atop the poll with 14 first-place votes and
173 points, nine fewer points than last week. The undefeated six-year-old will
have her next start on Saturday, August 7 at Del Mar in the Clement L.
Hirsch, a race she has won the last two years.
Four-year-old colt Quality Road retains the second spot with four first-place
votes and 161 points, 10 less than the previous week. Trained by Todd
Pletcher, Quality Road is set to start in the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga
Race Course also on August 7.
Defending Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra falls one spot to fourth with 118
points. Last week she received 125 points after winning the Lady's Secret at
Monmouth. She will next race at Saratoga on August 29 in the Personal Ensign.
Four-year-old colt Blame suffered another drop in the rankings. He is now
fifth with 98 points. Last week he was fourth after being third in the poll.
He is also slated for the Whitney Handicap.
Moving up from seventh to sixth with 49 points is five-year-old mare Tuscan
Evening.
Three-year-old filly Blind Luck received 43 points to move into seventh from
eighth. She will make her next start in the Alabama at Saratoga on August 21.
Eclipse Award winner Gio Ponti fell from sixth to eighth with 42 points. The
2009 champion turf and older male will defend his title in this month's
Arlington Million.
Devil May Care, winner of the Coaching Club American Oaks, is ninth with 31
points. She is scheduled to face Blind Luck in the Alabama.
The 10th spot in the poll is now held by Proviso with 26 points. The five-
year-old mare won Saturday's Diana Stakes at Saratoga over two-time defending
winner Forever Together.
