Macho Again gave jockey Robby Albarado his third straight victory in the $660,000 Foster Cap by rallying from last in a field of eight to prevail by a length over Asiatic Boy. Einstein finished a nose back in third and a neck ahead of a dead heat for fourth between Arson Squad and Bullsbay.
While Macho Again bided his time through the early stages of the 1 1/8-mile Foster, Einstein, the 124-pound highweight and 6-5 favorite under Julien Leparoux, was encumbered by traffic most of the way. Down the backstretch, Bullsbay and jockey Jeremy Rose had him pinned behind rivals toward the rail, and down the homestretch, Einstein first was trapped behind Asiatic Boy and Researcher -- and then Bullsbay and Researcher again -- before shaking free when it was far too late.
"They had him in a tough spot," said Helen Pitts, the trainer of Einstein. "It was hard for Julien to really do anything."
Leparoux seemed perturbed at how the race unfolded and said to reporters: "I'm on the horse to beat, so of course they're trying to beat me."
The triumph perpetuated a knack for winning in key spots by Macho Again, a gray 4-year-old by Macho Uno. Already a millionaire, the colt had won 5 of 17 previous starts, including the Derby Trial, Jim Dandy, and New Orleans Handicap. Trainer Dallas Stewart acknowledged beforehand that the colt was somewhat inconsistent, but exclaimed with glee moments after Macho Again crossed under the wire: "I told you he was more in than out!"
Macho Again, carrying 117 pounds, gave the West Point Thoroughbreds syndicate its second win from the last three runnings of the Foster, adding to their 2007 score with Flashy Bull. Albarado rode Flashy Bull and Curlin last year to win the Foster, the annual highlight of the post-Kentucky Derby segment of the Churchill spring meet.
"The race set up great for us today," said Albarado.
Macho Again earned $396,924, upping his career total to $1,475,247.
After the dead heat for fourth, the running order for the 28th Foster was Researcher, Finallymadeit, and Alphabet Magic.
Einstein was trying to follow Lava Man in becoming just the second horse to win Grade 1 races over three different surfaces. He was coming off wins in the Santa Anita Handicap over Pro-Ride in March and the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic in May.
The Foster anchored a day of five graded stakes. In the others, Florentino ($9.20) won the Jefferson Cup, Successful Dan ($6.40) took the Northern Dancer, Miss Isella ($5.40) captured the Fleur de Lis, and Keertana ($14.80) won the Regret.Preakness (gr. I) runner-up Macho Again split horses coming off the turn, took over inside the eighth-pole and held off a late charge from favored Pyro to post a half-length upset victory in the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II) July 27 at Saratoga.
Ridden by Julien Leparoux, West Point Thoroughbreds' Macho Again earned his first graded stakes victory in five tries while going off at odds of 8-1. The Dallas Stewart-trained son of Macho Uno entered the 1 1/8-mile Jim Dandy off a fifth-place finish in the June 7 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) in which Da’ Tara pulled a shocking upset.
Going off as the second betting choice, Da’ Tara set the early pace in the Jim Dandy and dueled with Mint Lane through three-quarters, but faded badly to finish last in a field of seven.
Garnering his fourth win in 11 lifetime starts, Macho Again completed nine furlongs on a ‘good’ main track in 1:51.16. Pyro, sent off at 3-2, came from 10 lengths back at the quarter-pole, but had to settle for second under Shaun Bridgmohan. Iowa Derby winner Tiz Now Tiz Then, who came off the turn to take a brief lead at the top of the lane, was three-quarters of a length further back in third.
Bred in Florida by Milan Kosanovich, Macho Again is out of the Wild Again mare Go Donna Go. Prior to the Jim Dandy his lone stakes victory came in the April 26 Derby Trial at Churchill Downs at seven furlongs, where he won by a half-length over Kodiak Kowboy. This was his first score going two turns.
“This is my first stakes win as a trainer at Saratoga, so I am very excited,” Stewart said. “He’s a good horse, but he needed to step up. The pace was beautiful; he’s a stalker. The Travers (gr. I) would be great if he comes out of this good and everything is good.
“I feel blessed to train for West Point. They are wonderful people and he is a wonderful horse. He had a tough go from the quarter-pole on. Once he got free and kicked on, it looked like he was going to win – and here comes Pyro with that late run. And Pyro is a good horse, as you know.”
Breaking from post six, Da’ Tara made the lead under Alan Garcia. With Mint Lane pressing him, Da ‘Tara got a quarter-mile in :23.51. Those two were barely separated after a half-mile in :46.94, with Macho Again and Tale of Ekati tracking in the next group.
As they rounded the final turn Tale of Ekati made a bold three-wide move and assumed a narrow lead with Edgar Prado aboard, but the Barclay Tagg trainee was immediately tackled by Tiz Now Tiz Then after straightening away. Macho Again did not let that lead last long however, as he sailed right by Tiz Now Tiz Then and opened up in the stretch.
Pyro made his presence known at the sixteenth-pole, but fell just short of winner.
“He’s game,” Leparoux said. “The race before, he had a rough trip. He’s been coming out. Today, he ran very good off the layoff. I had to go outside in the stretch and he finished very good.
“When I won the Derby Trial and when I finished second in the Preakness, he was game and he was really good. He’s not much different; he hasn’t changed too much. He is still just a game horse. He tries all the time.”
The winner paid $18.40, $5.40 and $3.40. The exacta (7-4) returned $49, while the trifecta (7-4-1) netted $292.50.
