Скачать или смотреть 1991 Iselin Handicap - Black Tie Affair : ABC Broadcast

Black Tie Affair was supposed to be just another horse out of its league today, one that was supposed to have no right running with the cream of a Grade I field.

But in the $500,000 Iselin Handicap at Monmouth Park, the 5-year-old out of Chicago outdueled Farma Way in the stretch to take the ninth leg of the 10-race American Championship Racing Series.

Black Tie Affair, trained by Ernie Poulos and ridden by Pat Day, covered the mile and an eighth in 1:474/5 -- one second off the Monmouth record -- to edge Farma Way by a neck. Chief Honcho finished third, one length behind the winner, and Marquetry, the 2-1 favorite, finished four and a half lengths back in fifth.

Black Tie Affair paid $10.20 for $2 to win.

The Iselin marked the first Grade I appearance for Black Tie Affair, who had won his last three starts but had never faced the class of competition he met today. Poulos had been told all week that his horse had no chance here.
