Heart to Heart wires Oceanport; Casual Smile upsets
Matchmaker
Terry Hamilton’s Heart to Heart (English Channel) never had an anxious moment
in his front-running victory in Sunday’s $158,000
Oceanport (G3) at Monmouth. Ridden by Victor Espinoza, the Brian Lynch
trainee covered 1 1/16 miles on the firm turf in 1:40.79.
Two races earlier on Haskell Day, W.S. Farish’s homebred Casual Smile (Sea
the Stars) continued her love affair with Monmouth in the $162,000
Matchmaker (G3). The lesser fancied entrant from the Chad Brown barn, the
9-1 chance earned her first stakes score in a final time of 1:47.12 for the
grassy 1 1/8 miles.
