Distant Shore 2nd in the Arlington Washington Futurity Saturday September 8th.... Graded Stakes. Another AWESOME RACE
Ridden by Alex Canchari, Distant Shore got out of the gate as one of the top contenders and sat patiently in a stalking position before overtaking race leader Sambucca and Gabriel Saez in the turn. Distant Shore, who was acquired from the Fasig Tipton Two-Year-Old Sale this past spring for $50,000, strode off from the competition, winning by four lengths as the race favorite.
Distant Shore has been doing very well over the past 2 weeks! Last week he had his first work in company working with two other two year old colts for Tom. Together they went 5 furlongs and Distant Shore opened up a few lengths on the others in the stretch which was encouraging. This morning, he had is first official timed workout from the Starting Gate. He has visited the gate multiple times just to stand and get comfortable in that setting and today worked out of the gate with 3 other horses from the barn of Eddie Kenneally. Tom flew in from New York to be present for today's workout and was encouraged by his efforts. Alex Canchari, Tom's regular jockey at Indiana Grand, drove down to be aboard for the workout with the idea being to really simulate a race setting.
Appears that Rare Form is doing well. Dale and his team have started to gallop him more frequently which is the next step to building back up his stamina to get into racing shape and condition.
I was able to catch a video of his gallop today which you can see by visiting the link below:https://youtu.be/5pRowPuz_gg
Gate training needed prior to racing, Distant Shore
Photo taken June 20th 2018 at the training center 5 miles from Churchill Downs. He is currently receiving starting gate lessons this last week of June.
So far, so good for Distant Shore. He is a very smart and athletic horse and has done everything right. At this point he is just going through long gallops usually 1 1 /2 miles each morning to build his stamina and foundation for racing.
