Two daylight scores in a row for Raise a Warrior

Walter De La Cruz has forged a good working relationship with the Poseidon’s Warrior colt Raise a Warrior. The veteran jockey had guided the 3-year-old bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon to a nine-length victory on July 13, and came back Monday to make it two in a row, this one by 6 1/2 lengths. Raise a Warrior shot to the lead in the one-mile race and was in control throughout, prevailing as the even-money favorite. The red-hot $14,000 OBS October weanling has posted a record of 3-2-0 in his last six starts.
