Lane Way finished third in today’s Siren Lure S. at Santa Anita Park.
Our veteran broke well and sat a perfect trip behind the leaders who went quick down the hill setting an opening half-mile fraction of :43.16.
Lane Way had clear sailing and looked like a potential winner once crossing over the dirt, but failed to have the kick needed in the final sixteenth. #3 First Peace was a tough customer to his inside, not letting him by. Both foes were then confronted by the longest shot in the field #2 Johnny Padres and were no match for his big late rally.
Jockey Kazushi Kimura provided his feedback after the race on video, saying that despite running third, Lane Way never stopped running. The hard-knocking 7-year-old picked up his 19th in-the-money finish from a total of 22 starts and we are certainly proud of him.
We’ll be back with a post-race update in the coming days.
