Race Recaps Tricky Escape Sneaks Away in G3 Violet August 19, 2017 Race Recaps Tricky Escape Sneaks Away in G3 Violet August 19, 2017 By: Curtis "Magic" Kalleward twitteremail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article OCEANPORT, NJ – Living up to her name, Jon Marshall’s Tricky Escape somehow snuck through a tightly-packed group of leaders and drew off late to win Saturday’s Grade 3, $100,000 Violet Stakes at Monmouth Park. Jockey Chris DeCarlo had to steady Tricky Escape between horses entering the first turn as Gianna’s Dream set sluggish early fractions of :26.09, :50.75, 1:14.01, and 1:37.77. Tricky Escape advanced inside on the far turn, then was forced to angle out at the top of the stretch or else risk losing her momentum. The Lynn Ashby-trained 4-year-old daughter of Hat Trick split her foes and launched a strong rally. Collaring Gianna’s Dream and Light Up Our World in deep stretch, Tricky Escape pulled away convincingly to complete the 1 1/8-mile turf race in 1:49.91. Light Up Our World beat out Gianna’s Dream for second by a head. Beauly, Always Thinking, Pricedtoperfection, and Arraign completed the order of finish. Cayman Croc and Camille Claudel were main-track-only entries. New Subscriber Bonus: Access our Top 10 Wagering Angles in Racing to see exactly what we look for when opening up the past performances.
