Sensational Move makes it look easy

SENSATIONAL MOVE won yesterday’s overnight-allowance event as an out-of-class horse should, toying with United States-bred CHOCOMO and GENERATIONAL for the first three furlongs before sprinting clear to win the five-furlong straight sprint in a fast 57.2.

FREEDOM STREET, slumming at the level in nine starts this season, emerged from the woodwork as a 7-2 market-springer, chasing home SENSATIONAL MOVE in an attempt to complete a whopping two-timer for Joy-Us Racing and trainer Patrick Lynch.

Joy-Us Racing and Lynch had earlier struck in the seventh event with 21-1 stunner CHIEF DISSIDENT, who pounced on maiden three-year-old runners at five furlongs round, handing Robert Halledeen the second of three winners on the 10-race card.

Denied a two-timer after disqualification for interference aboard WATERMAN JOHN in the fourth event, title-chasing Raddesh Roman made no mistake with SENSATIONAL MOVE, who enjoyed the track bias from post-position seven.

Showing off his improved form and versatility, having kept pace with crack importees I AM FRED and IS THAT A FACT in back-to-back grade-one events before being beaten by Canadian ATLANTIC CONVOY, SENSATIONAL MOVE won by a gaping four lengths despite drifting to mid-track inside the final furlong.

Halledeen’s three winners upstaged leading rider Tevin Foster, who notched a two-timer to edge four clear of Roman 91-87, in their battle atop the jockeys’ standings.

Opening his tally in the third aboard champion trainer Jason DaCosta’s out-of-class United States-bred, EAGLE ONE, who put away $550,000 claimers for the second time within a month at five furlongs straight, Halledeen closed the programme with a typically strong ride at five furlongs straight astride 3-1 chance NORBAR.

Course-specialist VOLATILITY tried making all with Paul Francis. However, NORBLAR’s finish, ridden out by Halledeen, overpowered the speedster close home, registering back-to-back wins after beating non-winners of four races at six and a half furlongs two weeks prior.

Racing continues this morning, starting 11:30 with punters queuing to get in on the Reggae 6 mandatory payout, which opens with a single-winner bonus of $8.1 million, laying the foundation for a jackpot payout set to exceed $25 million.
