Seeing Eye Single repeats at Pompano

Pompano Beach, FL — Seeing Eye Single, confidently handled by David Miller, scored a repeat win at Pompano Park on Sunday (March 27), stopping the timer in 1:50.2 in the $14,200 Open Handicap Pace.

The brave 7-year-old gelded son of Dragon Again, made a sharp quarter move to the top after a hot opening panel, repelled a bid around the final bend, and was in no danger the rest of the journey.

At the outset, Rebellious, forced to start from post number nine, zipped off the wings as usual and sizzled through an opening quarter of :26.4 while taking the lead with Double Metal (Tony Kerwood) on the prowl to take charge a few strides later, only to meet the challenge of Seeing Eye Single.

After reaching the half in :54.2, things began to tighten up a bit as Real Peace (Rick Plano), a stablemate of Seeing Eye Single, rushed up to engage and reached the saddlepad of the leader past the third station in 1:22.1.

Turning for home, Seeing Eye Single shook loose and opened up a bit of daylight with the only threat — slight though it was — from Prairie Panther (Wally Hennessey) who was closing stoutly after beginning his journey handicapped from the second tier. Double Metal did finish third while Real Peace was next, a half-length better than Hard Rock Hulk, who picked up the nickel over Rebellious.

For the consistent Seeing Eye Single, it was his fourth win of the year in 12 starts with his 4-3-3 scorecard good for $45,909. He’s banked $572,141 lifetime to go along with his Pompano Park mark of 1:49.3. Off at 3-5, Seeing Eye Single paid $3.20 to win.

The $12,600 Open II went to JM’s Delight, driven by Hennessey, in a lifetime best 1:51.1.

The 6-year-old altered son of Bettor’s Delight was hustled to the front after a lively :27 opening panel and proceeded to clock panels of :56.2 and 1:23.4 before a similar :27.2 split home allowed him to reach the wire 1-3/4 lengths the best of Warrawee Veloce (Tyler Jones). Scootnroll (Joe Chindano Jr.) was next.

Trained by Jack Rice for owner Greg Merton, JM’s Delight earned his third win of the year in a dozen starts, good for $30,570 and 169,222 career-wise. He paid $4.00 to win.

Racing continues on Monday with a carryover in the Pick-6, a $15,000 guaranteed Pick-4 pool bolstered by an industry low 12 percent takeout, and a Super High-5 carryover jackpot just shy of $100,000. Post time is set for 7:20 p.m.
