Chef watches ponies
Celebrity chef Bobby Flay, known from the Food Network, had two horses running Monday.
He entered 2-year-old filly So phie’s Salad in the second race. Named after Flay’s daughter, So phie’s Salad finished last at 2-1 odds in the 1-1/16 race on the Mellon turf.
Unlike her 5-furlong debut at Saratoga on Aug. 9, when she came from behind to finish third, So phie’s Salad went straight to the lead under jockey Javier Castellano. She led entering the stretch before fading badly to finish more than 17 lengths behind winner Limoncella.
Flay is also part-owner of Unbridled Success, who finished third in the Grade I Hopeful Stakes, 5-1/4 lengths behind winner Circular Quay. more…
