Posted on Sunday, August 24th, 2008
Strongly-supported Dearest Trickski held on tenaciously in the final strides to barely withstand the late challenge of longshot Tiz Elemental and win the $200,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap (G3) Sunday at Del Mar.
Dearest Trickski, a swift 4-year-old filly owned by Tom Mankiewicz and trained by John Sadler, took command after the break under jockey Mike Smith and prevailed in the narrowest of finishes over the 11-1 Tiz Elemental and her rider, jockey Joel Rosario.
La Tee was third, with Silky Smooth fourth in the field of 10 older fillies and mares. Magnificience, the 3-2 favorite was a non-threatening 5th.
Dearest Trickski, claimed for $32,000 a year ago at Del Mar, was scoring her 11th victory in 16 starts and earned $120,000 in the Rancho Bernardo to increase her bankroll to $660,100. Since the Rancho Bernardo is part of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Challenge, Dearest Tricksi also guaranteed herself a place in the Breeders’ Cup field for the the $1-million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint on Friday, August 24 at Santa Anita.
Second choice in the wagering at 2-1, Dearest Trickski, a daughter of Proudest Roman bred in Florida, ran 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.17 and returned $6.20, $4.20 and $3.40. Tiz Elemental paid $10.40 and $6.40, while La Tee paid $11.60 to show.
For race horse trainer John Sadler, it was his 4th success in the Rancho Bernardo Handicap, a race he won three successive years with Track Gal, 1995-97.
Society Hostess was 6th in Del Mar’s Rancho Bernardo Handicap followed by Spring Awakening, Highland Torree and Makor’s Love. Lethal Heat was scratched.
