Bank Audit rolls in House Party

Robert Amendola's BANK AUDIT (Wild Rush) led at every pole en route to an

emphatic 4 1/2-length win in the $65,950

House Party S. at Aqueduct on Sunday.

Breaking sharply from her inside post, the usually late-running four-year-old

asserted herself early under Norberto Arroyo Jr., and eventually spurted away

for the handy score. The Frank LaBocetta Jr. trainee negotiated the six furlongs

over the fast track in 1:10 2/5 and gave back $6.20, $3.90 and $3.60 at 2-1.

Baldomera (Doneraile Court) was content to sit at the rear early until the

stretch, when she put in her run to grab the place spot. The 6-1 shot gave back

$6.10 and $4.40 while completing the $33.20 exacta. Lilah (Defrere) was another

three-quarters-of-a-length back in third while finishing off the $117 trifecta.

Show paid $4.20. Ebony Breeze (Belong to Me), the 7-5 favorite, was a length

back in fourth and trailed by Every Trick (Grand Slam), while Cutoffs (Notebook)

and Storm Minstrel (Storm Cat) were withdrawn.

Bank Audit annexed her fourth lifetime stakes win in moving her mark to

27-10-6-4 with earnings of $549,611. The lass was victorious in the Genuine Risk

H. (G2), Distaff Breeders' Cup H. (G2) and Interborough H., with placings in a

trio of other black type affairs.

The winning lass was bred in Virginia by Morgan's Ford Farm and is out of the

stakes-winning Mosquera (Faraway Son). Bank Audit fetched a bid of $52,000 at

the 2002 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Yearling Sale.

Also at Aqueduct, Hobeau Farm's homebred SAINT DAIMON (Saint Ballado) moved

along an opening on the rail in the stretch and drew clear by 3 3/4 lengths in

the $81,350

Huntington S. Trained by Allen Jerkens and ridden by Andrew Lakeman,

the two-year-old colt completed the six-furlong test in 1:11 in earning his

initial stakes tally. Let off at a healthy 6-1, the winner returned $15.80,

$6.60 and $3.60, while keying the $59 exacta and $229 trifecta.

Urban Guy (Marquetry) fought on the lead throughout but could not match

strides with the winner late, settling for the place at 4-1. He was good for

$5.70 and $3.10. Justawalkinthepark (Ecton Park) loomed three-wide in the lane

but flattened out late, grabbing the show as the 9-5 favorite. Show paid $2.70.

Master of Disaster (Dance Master) was next and followed by Friendly Torpedo

(Forest Wildcat). Imagine It (Dixie Union) was scratched.

Saint Daimon has now taken two consecutive outings in upping his mark to

4-2-0-1 with a bankroll of $81,060. The winner is out of the multiple stakes-winning Daimon (Strike Gold).
