Somebeachsometime turns heads in Whenuwishuponastar

Milton, ON — Somebeachsometime stormed by rivals in the stretch to win Tuesday’s (Aug. 6) second leg of the Whenuwishuponastar Series at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The 2-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere-Talk Time paced home in :26.3, part of a :53.3 back-half, to come from sixth for the stunning victory in the second leg of the three-week event.

Driven by Jody Jamieson, Somebeachsometime got away last in the field of seven and remained in that position at the midway point. Even-money choice Caviart Jane moved to the top from third in the second quarter and led the field by the half in :56.

Caviart Jane paced a solid :28.1 third quarter to lead the field into the stretch. Meanwhile, Jamieson moved to the outside approaching three-quarters to sit just over seven lengths from the top.

The stretch drive saw Caviart Jane hold a clear lead at the eighth pole, but the far outside saw a pair of fillies charging. Lady Lou, who was second-over and five lengths off at three-quarters, was making up ground late, but Somebeachsometime was storming up just a bit quicker.

Caviart Jane surrendered the lead late and watched Somebeachsometime prevail by a head over Lady Lou in 1:52.1. Libspeak finished fourth.

Trained by Dave Menary, Somebeachsometime was a $65,000 Standardbred Horse Sale purchase and is the first foal out of the Well Said mare Talk Time. She finished fourth in her debut last week, pacing home in :26, and now has a victory and $6,612 earned for owners Menary Racing Inc., Michael Guerriero, Kenneth Ewen and Bruce Norris. A $2 win ticket on Somebeachsometime returned $4.80.

Round one winners Alexa Skye and Reflect With Me did not compete in the second leg. The C$50,000 series final will take place next Tuesday (Aug. 13).

Live racing resumes Thursday evening at Mohawk Park. Post time is 7:10 p.m.
