 Conchacer Wins Forward Pass Stakes at Arlington August 08, 2009 Lantern Hill graduate CONCHACER won the $53,000 Forward Pass S. at Arlington Park on August 8, doing his part to make the Stakes Winners Results Section the “August Place to Be” for Lantern Hill offspring.
In the last six days, horses with Lantern Hill ties have won the $150,000 Fourstardave H.-G2T at Saratoga, run second in the $150,000 Amsterdam S-G2 at Saratoga and won the 7 f. Forward Pass S. on the all weather at Arlington Park.
Conchacer, a 3-year-old colt by Congaree, out of Eliot Chacer (by Clever Trick) was winning his first stakes race, but it was his third time to hit the board in a stakes in his last four starts. He was third in the $100,000 Matt Winn S. at Churchill Downs in May and second in the Prairie Mile S. on June 6.
In the Forward Pass, Conchacer stalked the pace about a length and a half off the lead, made steady progress when asked to run at the top of the stretch and drew clear late to win by a length. In seven starts, he has three wins, two seconds and a third; and three of those are stakes wins or placings.
A May 25 foal, he is owned by John Santina’s Savoy Stable and is trained by Dale Bennett. Conchacer was bred by Lantern Hill Farm and Lighthouse Group and was an $85,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Journeyman Bloodstock.
Conchacer and CAPT. CANDYMAN CAN, who broke Saratoga’s 30-year-old track record for 6-1/2 furlongs when finishing second to Quality Road earlier in the week, both sold from Barn 49 in Book 4 of our consignment to the 2007 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
Two of the six yearlings offered from that group are already stakes winners. Thanks to our partners, clients, and trainers who have made that possible, helping us show that Lantern Hill yearlings are Home Grown Racehorses.
By the way, Conchacer's yearling half-sister by Sharp Humor sells on September 23 as Hip # 3101 in Book 5 of the Keeneland September Sale.
