Peter Redekop’s Anyportinastorm was voted 2019 Emerald Downs’ Horse of the Meeting, the track announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Trained by Blaine Wright, Anyportinastorm ran meet-fastest times at both 6 and 6½ furlongs, winning the Governor’s Stakes by 3½ lengths in 1:07.54 and Budweiser Stakes by 6½ lengths in 1:14.35.<\/p>\n
A 5-year-old Florida-bred by City Zip, Anyportinastorm compiled a 2-1-0 record in three starts and earned $88,000. In addition to Horse of the Meeting, Anyportinastorm also was voted Top Sprinter and Top Older Horse.<\/p>\n
In his only defeat, Anportinastorm finished a gallant second to Law Abidin Citizen in the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3). Carrying high weight of 124 pounds. Anyportinastorm set fast fractions – :23.05, :45.58, 1:09.37, 1:21.46 – and resisted gamely in the final furlong, finally yielding to the California invader in the final strides.<\/p>\n
Wright, the leading stakes trainer the last three years at Emerald Downs, currently has Anyportinastorm training at Golden Gate Fields, where the 5-year-old worked 5 furlongs last Saturday.<\/p>\n
Anyportinastorm is the second Florida-bred to win Horse of the Meeting at Emerald Downs. Flamethrowintexan (Way West-Willalady) won the honor in 2006, after victories in the Longacres Mile and Mt. Rainier Breeders’ Cup Handicap.<\/p>\n
