Carbine whiskers out PJ Lou in Scioto Feature
Columbus, OH — Carbine won by the narrowest of noses in the $26,000 Open Pace at Eldorado Scioto Downs Saturday (May 17) in 1:49.3.
Driven by Tyler Smith, Carbine got away fourth from post five while PJ Lou (Marc St Louis Jr.) stacked Artatac A (Koltin Noble) and Twin B Seasmonster (Cam McCown) through the first turn to the 25.4 opening quarter. As the field went under the wire for the first time, Carbine was rolling first up to challenge the leader by the 53.4 half. Midway down the backside, Carbine was able to tuck back in as Artatac A was gapping in the pocket. As the field got into the last turn after the 1:21 third quarter, Carbine popped the pocket and challenged PJ Lou through the stretch. At the wire, Carbine was on top over PJ Lou, with Surreal Ideal (Luke Hanners) coming from the back of the pack to finish third.
Carbine, a 7-year-old by Somebeachsomewhere out of the Cam’s Card Shark mare Shot Togo Bluechip, now has five wins in 14 seasonal starts; lifetime he has hit the board in 62 of his 102 starts while earning $636,094. The stallion, who, for the second year, is racing and breeding, is owned by Odds On Racing and trained by Virgil Morgan, Jr.
