Cast a Coin Molds Tenacious Triumph in Tin Cup Chalice

Seven New York-bred 2-year-olds were sent to the post for the $45,000 Tin Cup Chalice Stakes at Finger Lakes Nov. 18, and after a thrilling stretch run, it was Cast a Coin  who would tenaciously come out the victor.

Sent off as the 2-1 second choice beneath jockey Steven Fret, the Central Banker   gelding was content relaxing in third while the filly No Factor  set fractions of :22.68 and :46.37.

Fret didn’t panic as favored Blamicker  made an early bid for the lead approaching the quarter pole, setting his sights on the new pacesetter off the turn. He had the favorite without a doubt, but Notfanutin  and Mr. Sugar Daddy  were menacing with their late bids from both sides.

Cast a Coin dug deep and found more at Frey’s urging, refusing to be denied and hitting the wire a neck clear of Notfanutin. He completed six furlongs in 1:12.97 and paid $7.20 to win. The victory was a first at the stakes level for Fret.

Owned by Gold Bear Farm and trained by Jacqueline Falk, Cast a Coin earned his second consecutive victory after breaking his maiden at Finger Lakes Oct. 16. In four starts, he is 2-1-0 for earnings of $55,717. He was bred in New York by McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds.
