Long On Value strikes for another Pleasant Acres exacta at Gulfstream

It was just nine days ago that an all-Pleasant Acres exacta (Chalcolithic, by Neolithic; Bella Facia, by Long On Value) paid $229 for $2 at Tampa Bay Downs. In the third race at Gulfstream Park yesterday, Pleasant Acres stallions struck again, this time with a pair of Long On Value fillies.

The two 3-year-olds, Oopsie Doopsie and Constitutionalist, jumped out of the gate first and second in the race at 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta track. Oopsie Doopsie, ridden by Edgard Zayas and owned and bred by George Kerr, put up fractions of :23.26, :46.72 and :58.61, and continued on an easy lead for the entire trip, with Constitutionalist not far behind. Oopsie Doopsie, won it by 3 1/4 lengths and the Long On Value $2 exacta paid $81.80.

In her first five starts on dirt and turf, Oopsie Doopsie had posted one second and a third, and this was her first try over the all-weather track. She earned $14,700, paid $13, and reached the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:04.57, giving her sire his second winner this year.
