Daley Deposit Only Wins Vernon Feature

Daley Deposit Only continued his standout season with a hard-fought 1:52.3 victory in Saturday night’s $12,000 featured 10th race at Vernon Downs

.

With trainer Dan Daley urging him on, the five-year-old son of Artiscape-Sassy Cessiann came three-wide from third around the final bend, and kept digging in the homestretch until he had eked-out a head decision over Mackenzies Bliss. The pacesetting Stonebridge Wish was a tight third.

After a strong 2010 start at Florida’s Pompano Park, Daley Deposit Only ($4.10) has continued to perform at a high level over Vernon’s 7/8ths mile oval. Five of his 12 season’s scores have come locally for owners Ann-Mari Daley (Dan’s wife) and her partners, Jared Daley, Richard Lombardo and Robert Pergament. The career winner of $248,660 secured his 1:50.4 record here back on July 5.

Daley also pinned a career-best 1:51.3 win mark on Ellen Mc Neil’s pacer Kommander Hawk (trained by John McNeil) in Saturday’s seventh session to record his seventh double at the 81-program meeting. The time was just one second off the track’s standard for aged pacing geldings.
