Belmont Stakes: Missing Derby a blessing for Freedom Child

ELMONT, N.Y. The worst thing to ever happen to Freedom Child may turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to Freedom Child.

With one chance to crack the field for the Kentucky Derby, Freedom Child, coming off a maiden victory, ran in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. Well, he attempted to run in the Wood Memorial.

A split second before the gates officially opened, Go Get the Basil, the horse inside of Freedom Child, charged the gate, opening it a fraction of a second before the starter did. The assistant starter in the stall with Freedom Child took a hold of the horse and still had a hold of him when the doors opened, forcing Freedom Child to break in a tangle. Essentially, his race and any hopes for making the Derby were over. Though he did make a move into contention down the backside, Freedom Child retreated to last in the field. He was later declared by the stewards to be a non-starter because he was in the hands of the assistant starter.

Frustrated at the time, the connections of Freedom Child quickly turned the page and formulated a different plan that included a start in Saturdays 145th Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.

The first part of the plan was engineered perfectly Freedom Child romped to a 13 1/4-length victory in the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes over Belmont Parks main track May 11. That performance, and how hes trained since, has Freedom Child considered by many among the top contenders in the 14-horse field for the Belmont.

We thought there was a reason why we didnt go to the Kentucky Derby, said Terry Finley, president of the West Point Thoroughbreds partnership group that owns one-third of Freedom Child. Were hoping we run well in the Belmont and have a really good second half of the year and everything will be made right.

Given Freedom Childs running style and considering the way the Derby was run, missing that race may be a blessing in disguise. Freedom Child is a front-running sort, and the early fractions in the Kentucky Derby ranked in the top five in the history of the race. The four horses in front after the first half-mile finished 12th, 14th, 18th, and 17th.

Could interloper Freedom Child grab Belmont Stakes?

DICK JERARDI, Daily News Staff Writer jerardd@phillynews.com Posted: Thursday, June 6, 2013, 1:08 AM

ON THE 40th anniversary of Secretariat's Belmont Stakes win, when the colt ran off 31 lengths in front of the field into an unknown realm, we wait in vain for the next Secretariat or Seattle Slew or Affirmed, the Triple Crown still elusive.

No Triple Crown is on the line in Saturday's Belmont Stakes, but we do get a rematch between the winner of the Kentucky Derby (Orb) and Preakness (Oxbow), as well as a terrific betting race, promised by a 14-horse field with much intrigue and more than a few question marks.

Orb finished 9 3/4 lengths in front of Oxbow in the Derby, 9 lengths behind him in the Preakness. Trying to decipher what those margins mean might be the critical component in determining Saturday's outcome. Or a horse that did not run in Louisville or Baltimore could change the equation entirely.

The horse could be Freedom Child, owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, a partnership managed by Bucks County native Terry Finley.

When last seen in a race, Freedom Child was winning the Peter Pan Stakes by 13 1/4 lengths at Belmont Park. It was not Secretariat, but it was impressive.

"When you own horses, whether you're in partnerships or you're doing it yourself and you have a chance to run in a big race like this, it's really humbling and really super cool," Finley said. "These are the opportunities that really get us all out of bed in the morning. So as it relates to this colt, he's really given us a good vibe overall. He's a May 18th foal, and he's gotten really better and better in each start."

No horse has drawn more praise from the clockers who watch the horses in the morning than Freedom Child. So, West Point, which was formed in 1991 and named after the school where Finley earned a mechanical engineering degree in 1986, has its best chance at its first Triple Crown race win.

The West Point partners have won major races through the years. But these three races hold a special place in American sport that transcends horse racing.

Freedom Child would love a sloppy Belmont Stakes

Posted on by

NEW YORK (AP) -- Freedom Child might get his ideal track Saturday in the Belmont Stakes- rainy and sloppy.

A wet strip would certainly enhance the chances of the 8-1 shot in the 1 1/2-mile final jewel of the Triple Crown.

The forecast calls for heavy rain and thunderstorms Friday continuing into Saturday with an 80 percent chance of showers on Belmont Day.

None of that was bad news for trainer Tom Albertrani.

''We've been watching the forecast since a few days ago,'' he said Wednesday. ''It's getting better and better for us, every time we look at it.''

Several horses in the 14-horse field have proven ability on a wet track, most notably Orb, the 3-1 Belmont favorite, who rallied from 16th in the slop at Churchill Downs to win the Kentucky Derby.

Freedom Child never made the Derby. His shot to qualify vanished at the start of the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. He was still in the hands of an assistant starter when the gate opened. Badly compromised at the break, Freedom Child finished last and all bets on him were refunded.

His next race was the Peter Pan at Belmont on the Saturday following the Derby. It came up sloppy, and Freedom Child loved it.

He shot right to the front and steadily widened his margin, winning by a stunning 13 1/4 lengths. Next up is the Belmont.

''He couldn't be better,'' Albertrani said. ''He's sharp. His energy level is very high. I couldn't be happier with the way he's looking right now.''

Freedom High softball team advances to NCS Division I championship game

Posted on by

The Freedom High softball team's season ended June 1 with a 4-1 loss to James Logan in the North Coast Section Division I championship game at Saint Mary's College in Moraga.

But the Falcons surprised most observers just by making it to the title game.

Freedom, which won the Bay Valley Athletic League title, entered the Division I playoffs as the No. 5 seed and were on the same side of the bracket as No. 1 Amador Valley. After a 6-5 quarterfinal road win over No. 4 Castro Valley on May 24 in which they scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning, the Falcons were in line to face Amador Valley.

But after San Ramon Valley upset the Dons 4-1, the Falcons got to host the Wolves in the semifinals. After falling behind 1-0 in the first inning, Freedom scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth on a solo home run by Emma Ryan and a two-run blast by Raegan Ternes.

That was enough offense for pitcher Maddie Williams, who shut out San Ramon Valley over the last six innings and finished with nine strikeouts and just one walk.

The victory moved the Falcons into the Division I championship game for the first time 2010, and the opponent was the same as it was four years ago -- James Logan.

Freedom threatened to score in the first inning but a runner was thrown out at home plate by Colts' outfielder Alexis Mattos to keep the game scoreless.

James Logan scored three runs in the second inning as Tayler Peters doubled to left

Freedom scored its run in the top of the sixth inning and Adrienne Davenport and Ternes combined for four of the Falcons' six hits off Logan pitcher RaeAnn Garza.

Williams finished the year with a 19-5-1 record and a 1.61 ERA in 148 innings. Lyvie Ilayan led Freedom's offense with a .400 batting average, 30 RBIs and 22 runs scored.
