Art's Day beats Rocknroll

November 06, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Art's Day's first-over grind against Rocknroll Hanover paid off when he pulled away to a one-length victory in 1:51.3 in a Progress Pace elim Sunday night at Dover Downs.



Rocknroll Hanover--the $1.8 million winner--started from post five and had command of the race before reaching the first quarter in :25.3. Then Rocknroll's driver, Brian Sears, yielded to Gryffindor passing the grandstand before re-taking the lead just before hitting the halfway mark in :55.1.



Eric Ledford moved Art's Day at the half and failed to pick up cover. They headed Rocknroll Hanover but then Rocknroll pulled even again just before the 1:23.3 three quarters.



In the stretch drive Rocknroll Hanover hung tough, but Art's Day was tougher and paced clear. Gryffindor had racing room up the inside but couldn't match strides with Art's Day, second-place finisher Escapable Beaux, or Rocknroll Hanover, who held on for third.



Art's Day, a 3-year-old by Artsplace out of the royally-bred Laugh A Day, posted his eighth win of the year for trainer Seldon Ledford, Eric's father.
