News Power Alert Runs Down Rainbow Heir in Dramatic Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint January 28, 2017 News Power Alert Runs Down Rainbow Heir in Dramatic Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint January 28, 2017 By: Jared Welch twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Grade 3 winner Power Alert stormed to the lead in deep stretch and held off a dramatic late rush from Rainbow Heir to win the $125,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint by a nose Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The eighth running of the five-furlong Turf Sprint for 4-year-olds and up was the fourth of six supporting stakes, three graded, worth $1.15 million in purses on the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) program. It was the second straight win in the Turf Sprint for Power Alert ($8.60) and kept him undefeated in five career tries at Gulfstream, including four stakes victories. The winning time was 54.90 seconds over a firm turf course. Jockey Julien Leparoux kept 7-year-old Power Alert in the clear on the far outside from Post 11 as 18-1 long shot Pay Any Price rocketed through opening fractions of 20.86 and 43.08 seconds. Power Alert wore down a stubborn Pay Any Price down the center of the stretch and withstood Rainbow Heir’s desperate bid for his 11th career win. It was a half-length to Long On Value in third with Pay Any Price another half-length back in fourth. Trainer Brian Lynch (Power Alert): “I’m very proud of this horse. He comes from the small country town where I came from in Australia. For him to show up on these big days like this means a lot to me. He’s such an honest campaigner. When he’s right, he’s a very fast horse over five-eighths of a mile.” “Initially, I thought he [won], but when I watched the replays I thought [Rainbow Heir] might have. It was a head bob and I had a gut feeling that our head was down and his was coming back.” “He’s a lovely sound horse that still enjoys his job. When they’re in that frame of mind you can get them sort of performances out of them.” Jockey Julien Leparoux (Power Alert): “I knew they were going fast early because if my horse is not on the lead, they’re going too fast. He really loves this track. I knew he got up and got his head down at the wire.” Source: Gulfstream Park
