Rezif And Greta Kuntzweiler

The weekend proved a great show for the world of horseracing. In a stunning performance on Saturday, September 11th, Rezif took a very important race to cause quite the upset on the track. With a masterful push at the end of the circuit, he managed to overcome all of the opposition and deliver a very strong finish for rider Greta Kuntzweiler. The duo crossed the finish line of the Grade 3, $150,000 Kentucky Cup Turf on Saturday, and opening day of the four-day Kentucky Downs meet in style.

If they can keep it up, it will be a fantastic year for this power duo. Kuntzweiler was excellent on board Rezif, guiding him to a stunning burst of speed that shot them to victory. They took a 6 1/4-length upset as an 18-1 outsider. Matthew Jacobson, who trains and co-owns Rezif, was reported to be very proud of his horse and rider. They delivered yet another stunning victory for his stable. The 5-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding returned some serious cash to betters, $38.80 to win in registering his first victory since August 2009. It was a great moment for Kuntzweiler. This stakes victory was her second since returning from a 4 1/2-year layoff.

Things will continue on a high note next spring. The plan is for the horse to retire for the rest of the year, and to pick things up next spring. If they can keep him in top shape, it could certainly be a smart move. If you pick your battles you will win more often. Let’s see if this holds true for this gelding.

The rest of the racers did well on the rain soaked turf that played quite slow on Saturday. There were many that didn’t deal too well with the conditions, and indeed it was challenging. The victory posted by Rezif was 11 seconds slower than Cloudy’s Knight last year. Yet, it certainly proved just as exciting! Be sure and follow the rest of the best at horsebettingworld.com.
