Colleen S. heroine LIVERMORE VALLEY (Mt. Livermore) will face impressive first-out maiden winners GENTLY (Storm Cat) and CARRYANUN (Straight
Man) in Wednesday’s $65,000 Randaroo S. at Aqueduct. The six-furlong inner dirt
test for two-year-old fillies goes as the featured 8TH race on the card.
When last seen under silks, Livermore Valley forced the early issue before
drawing off to a 4 1/2-length victory in the August 6 Colleen S. at Monmouth Park.
The James Ryerson-trained filly broke her maiden in front-running fashion over a
sealed sloppy track by
three lengths in her prior outing.
Gently, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, dueled for the early lead before finishing
in a dead-heat with She’s Indy Money (A.P. Indy) when unveiled at Belmont Park
in late September. She’s Indy Money came back to run third in the Blue Hen S. at
Delaware Park. Gently, out of Grade 1 winner Cuddles (Mr. Prospector), is a full
sister to 2001 Genuine Risk H. (G2) winner Katz Me If You Can, and a half-sister
to 2003 Victory Ride S. victress Country Romance (Saint Ballado).
Carryanun rolled to a front-running, 6 3/4-length score over Aqueduct’s main
track in her debut on November 6. She figures to add to the early fractions.
The field, from the rail out, with jockeys, is JET SET BROAD (Artax), Alan
Garcia; SUCCESSFUL ROMANCE (Successful Appeal), Mike Luzzi; OPRAH WINNEY (Royal
Academy), Pablo Fragoso; Livermore Valley, Julian Pimentel; ENJOY THE MUSIC
(Concerto), Fernando Jara; SILVESTRIS (Forest Wildcat), Jose Espinoza; Carryanun,
Michael Baze; CASABLANCA BABE (Horse Chestnut [SAf]), Norberto Arroyo Jr.; and
Gently, Orlando Mojica.
Jet Set Broad and Successful Romance will be coupled in the wagering.
Livermore Valley will carry 122 pounds, Casablanca Babe, 120, and the rest
118.
