Track mark set in Italy

April 10, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The Viking Kronos-sired filly Guilia Grif won the Premio Italia over the weekend at the half-mile track in Bologna. She was timed in a new track record of 1:58 over 1,660 meters. Viking Kronos is a son of 1993 Hambletonian champion American Winner and 1985 Hambletonian Oaks winner Conch.



The race got underway with breaks by Giotta d'Alfa and Gloria Gainor and when the field was settled the season's leading filly, Giulia Grif was the leader. Trainer-driver Marco Smorgon kept a hard pace with the stout filly, who races without an overcheck but wears elbow boots. The competitors neared with a quarter left, but she answered the challenges. She was followed by the Toniatti farm-bred colts Gruccione Jet (Pine Chip-Petite Victory, by Valley Victory) and Gracchio Jet (Pine Chip-Art Deco, by Diamond Way)



Guilia Grif has now won eight of 12 starts and pushed her earnings over the $100,000 mark with this victory.
