Bodemeister got his seventh stakes winner of 2018 on Saturday when Risky Proposition unleashed powerful kick in the final furlong to win the $80,000 Let It Ride S. at Del Mar by three-quarters of a length.
Possessing a natural closing style, Risky Proposition languished well off the pace through the first six furlongs. He inched closer on the bend, then kicked into high gear with an eighth-mile to run, flying past the field to strike the wire first while getting the one-mile on the grass in 1:34.61.
Owned by Tom Acker et al, Risky Proposition is now 3-1-1 in nine starts and has earned $109,770. He was bred in Kentucky by Glencrest Farm, who picked up $10,000 as part of WinStar Farm’s WinStar Incentive Network program.
Bodemeister now has 2018 progeny earnings of over $4.4 million, while his 92 winners this year ranks second among all Third-Crop sires.
