A new victory for Little Roo Roo (Limehouse), the sixth of his campaign and third selective event, maintaining the streak. It happened in the Robert G. Leavitt Stakes (7F. 75,000 Dollars), played yesterday in Charles Town, with another forceful action from the one trained by Michael Jones Jr. From the start, Marshall Méndez placed him in command, with easy partials, 23″37 and 47″39 for the half mile. In the final section, he arrived with strength, stretching in 1’26″73 for the course.
Paymengold was a worthy rival, being a clear guard. He surpassed Juba’s Notion, the rest did not justify his presence.
The chesnut had just won the It’s Only Money Stakes (4 1/2) against the seniors and Michael Jones did not doubt that he would respond again with the extra distance. It is already about to reach 200 thousand dollars in prizes.
