In Summation kicks off 2008 in style Waterford Stable's IN SUMMATION (Put it Back) overtook Barbecue Eddie (Stormy Atlantic) in midstretch and pulled away to a one-length win in the $108,900 El Conejo H. (G3) at Santa Anita on Tuesday. The 3-1 second choice reached the wire for 5 1/2 furlongs in a track record 1:01 1/5 over the Cushion Track, earning his second graded stakes victory. The Christophe Clement trainee gave back $8.20, $4 and $2.20 while keying the $1 exotics: $16.40 exacta and $29.90 trifecta. Barber (Storm Boot) went right to the front and led through splits of :21 and :43 1/5 for the opening half-mile prior to be overtaken by 3-5 favorite Idiot Proof (Benchmark) and Barbecue Eddie, with a patient In Summation waiting to pounce under Corey Nakatani on the outside. Barbecue Eddie inched clear of Idiot Proof in early stretch but had no answer late for the streaking winner. Barbecue Eddie paid $4.20 and $2.40 at 9-2 and was followed by Idiot Proof, worth $2.10 to show, Council Member (Seattle Slew) and Barber. Bushwacker (Outflanker) was withdrawn. With the New Year Day's win, In Summation improved his lifetime mark to 20-9-5-0, $815,166. The newly turned five-year-old captured the 2007 Bing Crosby H. (G1) in his synthetic debut and has since posted a win in the Arlington Sprint H. and a runner-up showing in the Vernon O. Underwood S. (G3) last out. The eight-time stakes star has also placed in three graded stakes. The winner was bred in the Sunshine State by Arthur I Appleton and produced from the winning Fiesta Baby (Dayjur), who is out of 1987 Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) and Mother Goose S. (G1) heroine Fiesta Gal (Alleged). In Summation sold for $80,000 at the 2004 OBS August yearling and brought $130,000 at the 2005 OBS March two-year-old sale. He counts multiple stakes winner Dakota Duke (Stormy Atlantic) as a half-brother.
