Silver Timber logs Churchill Turf Sprint
"You have to give (trainer) Chad (Brown) a lot of credit," Dubb said. "His horses come first. He could have been here and got all the glory, but he stayed in New York with his horses. Right now as we speak he's setting up his Saratoga operation. Chamberlain Bridge nosed out Central City for the place, giving back $4.20 and $3.20. Central City returned $9.20 at 24-1. Formidable (Sky Mesa) rallied for fourth at 7-1 and was followed by Moralist (Talk is Money), Starfish Bay, Barge (Forest Camp), Perfect Officer (Officer), Mitigation (Cherokee Run), Heavenly Chorus (Unbridled's Song) and Lit'sgoodlookngray (Lit de Justice). The exotics paid $26.20 (exacta), $571 (trifecta) and $3,649 (6-3-10-9 superfecta). Claimed for $25,000 at Gulfstream Park in early April 2009, Silver Timber captured the Jaipur S. (G3) at Belmont Park two starts later and went on to capture the Woodford S. (G3) at Keeneland in October. He kicked off his 2010 campaign earlier this month with a neck score in the Shakertown S. (G3), also at Keeneland. His record now stands at 32-11-3-5, $545,519. Bred in New York by Sez Who Thoroughbreds, the gray is out of the winning Alwuhush mare River Princess and was purchased for $110,000 as an OBS April juvenile. Silver Timber counts as half-siblings the stakes-placed Inrightclassitime (Straight Man) and an unnamed yearling colt by Bandini. River Princess is herself a daughter of multiple stakes winner Spanish Play (Great Gladiator), who also produced Grade 3-placed multiple stakes victor Spanish Decree (War Deputy) as well as the dam of multiple stakes queen Anne's Purse (Porto Foricos). Canadian Grade 2 winner River Boat (Regal Classic) is also in this family.
