Gale Warning posted again at Pompano

Can’t say you weren’t “warned” the first time! Gale Warning ($8.40) gave warning last week when he won the $16,000 Open Trot and the 5-year-old gelding did it again Monday at the Isle Pompano Park, going off once again at odds of 3-1.

The feature started off with the lone mare in the field, KM Sweet Dreams (Joe Pavia Jr.) going to the early lead with Karpathos (Denis St Pierre) grabbing the two-hole spot. But by the opening quarter mile in :28.1, Battleshoe Victor and driver Bruce Ranger were on the move and took command of the race.

Past the half-mile marker in :58, Battleshoe Victor held the field at bay but that was short lived as Gale Warning and driver Wally Hennessey started charging on the outside and they were able to clear to the lead by the three-quarter pole in 1:26.4 with Karpathos right on their backs.

Then down the stretch it was an easy victory for Gale Warning who pulled away from the field to win by five open lengths. Karpathos was second with KM Sweet Dreams third.

The race favorite, Indian Hill Rocket and second choice in the race, Brick, made breaks at the start of the race.

It was the eighth win this year for Gale Warning, who is trained by Michile Lorenzo and co-owned by Ron Lorenzo, Ciro Gentile and the Pomtambo Stable of Boca Raton. (Pompano Park)
