Itsmycheck GB yielded, aggressively retook the lead at the three-eighths, and made the move stand up, capturing Monday’s (July 27) feature at The Meadows, a $10,800 conditioned pace.
Itsmycheck GB was away first for Ronnie Wrenn Jr. before K Ryan Bluechip quarter-poled to the point. Itsmycheck GB and Wrenn wanted no part of the pocket, seized the lead once more, and went on to defeat K Ryan Bluechip by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:51.1. Our Third Rock completed the ticket.
Ron Burke trains Itsmycheck GB, an eight-year-old Check On Jack-Judy Hall gelding who has won four his five domestic starts since being imported from Great Britain by Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Burke enjoyed a four-bagger on the 15-race card while Dave Palone and Jim Pantaleano each piloted three winners.
