Long On Value filly makes Majestic Return to the Big A

Back on March 11, Kendrick Carmouche guided Majestic Return to a 6 1/2-length victory over a sloppy track at Aqueduct in just her second start. After a third at Saratoga and a second at Belmont Park in her fifth and sixth starts, Majestic Return and Carmouche encountered the best of both worlds on Sunday: a return to Aqueduct for the Belmont meeting and a sloppy track to boot.

It proved to be the right medicine, and the 3-year-old New York-bred daughter of Long On Value became her sire’s biggest money-winner with a wire-to-wire romp in an $80,000 allowance race at six furlongs. Carmouche hustled her out of the gate and Majestic Return sizzled through fractions of :22.48, :45.68 and :57.52 while getting no real challenges. She opened up heading into the stretch and it became no contest; the filly drew off to score by 7 1/4 lengths and was going away at the finish.

Majestic Return was clocked in 1:10.23, paid $5.10, and earned a check for $44,000, boosting her bank account to $116,288. She received an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 88, best of her seven starts.
