k ryan bluechip11.12.20

A PATIENT K Ryan Bluechip saved the best for last, barrelling wide through the lane to capture last night’s feature at The Meadows.

In doing so the son of Art Major notched his 50th win.

Dave Palone was content to put K Ryan Bluechip third in the outside flow, confident of how much horse he would have coming home.

The nine-year-old gelding justified that faith, roaring past the leader, Acton Hanover, and holding off Whos Better by a head in 1:51.2.

Captainfabulous completed the ticket.

Mike Palone trains K Ryan Blue Chip, which has earned $640,646 and hit the board 105 times from starts, and owns with Stephen Ronay.

It was one of five victories on the 13-race card for Palone, including a pair for brother Mike.
