Collected Pennine Ridge’s Kalik String


Robert LaPenta, e Year Thoroughbred Horse Racing and Madaket Stables’ Kalik (collect) took control of Saturday’s GII Pennine Ridge S.. TDN’s Rising Star‘ Bridge far (English Channel) and Godolphin’s Silver Knot (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) to prepare for the GI Belmont Derby in five weeks. In doing so, he became the second-ranked bet winner in a 15-day period for his Airdrie Stud-based male (by City Zip) after Taxed surprised 11-1 in the GII George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan S. on Preakness weekend.

“On paper, he [Kalik] is the only speed,” said coach Chad Brown, a third-time winner of the race. “He is a class horse with a lot of qualities to him. On paper, we thought that if he could get out there and control the race, then at least he would have the final say.”

Sometimes things go exactly according to the script. Kalik took the break and took the lead over his opponents on the first corner, past several opening stretchs: 24.69 and the first half was smooth and the first half was comfortable. no less: 49.17. Going forward smoothly within himself in the second, Kalik took the lead on his right with about a half and a half to race and proved not to be catching up. Far Bridge was under heavy push with three stretches and at one point was more or less the trailblazer, but jumped back to the reins and crossed to only beat Silver Knott in second.

Defeated on his main track debut at the Aqueduct in September, Kalik rose to a runner-up attempt with a two-pass on the grass at Cross Island on October 23 and headed south for the winter. . $80,000 FTKNOV Turned into $200,000 KEESEP Craving for Verified Even-Money Support when he returned on St Patrick’s Day at Gulfstream and took second place in a row with allowance points the full sixteenth mile of this course on May 7.

Brown continues: “The horse really blooms in the winter. “He has gained a lot of weight and he has matured. He was like an immature teenager last year. He’s always been well trained, but he’s just a stick-like horse. Now he is full and has become a real man.”

While the July 8 Belmont Derby is clearly a near-team goal, the Ontario-born Kalik could visit the Great White North in the coming months.

“In the summer, if he is still healthy, I really care about [Aug. 20 C$1-million] King’s Plate,” Brown said. “It’s a race we’ve never won and it’s an exciting idea for this horse on the road.”

Genealogical notes:

Kalik’s Dam is the daughter of multi-talented multi-talented winner Sara Louise, whose half-sister won third place Just Louise (Five Star Day) who produced twice GSW and GISP Forbidden Kingdom (American Pharoah). After fooling a Spin hard dirty in 2022, Coronation Street was pregnant to collect last summer’s Fasig-Tipton Selected Horses of All Ages Sale, but was acquired when bidding stalled at $11,000. She had a sister to Kalik this past March 25th.

Kalik and Taxed are the premise of a few weeks of seriously productive work for collect. Two days after Black-Eyed Susan, Conclusion won the Desert Code S. on the downhill turf in Santa Anita, while Playground Legend won her daughter at Monmouth May 28 and Royal Velvet and the foal Second officer Gewurztraminer graduated from Pimlico and Churchill, respectively, on May 29. collect was also represented by his first Japanese winner when the Collectanea hybrid Shadai broke through on Saturday in Tokyo.
