Ride On Curlin 4-year-old is all heart

Cowboy at Heart picked up his second victory and increased his earnings to $66,774 with a convincing score in a $30,800 allowance race at Charles Town last night.

The 4-year-old gelding by Ride On Curlin had recorded two seconds, a third and three fourths in his previous six races and was sent off as the 6/5 favorite with Christian Hiraldo riding in the race at 4 1/2 furlongs. Cowboy At Heart was off slowly from the No. 2 post, but Hiraldo sent him through on the inside to battle for the lead in a :22.14 quarter. The gelding bred by Stephen H. Smith powered to the front in the turn and drew off to win by 2 1/4 lengths in :52.36, earning an ’85’ Equibase speed figure. He paid $4.60 and collected a check for $18,324.
