Three City Wins for Baron Orczy

The "Baron of Belmont" continued on his merry way this afternoon when he brought up a hat trick of wins at Belmont Park this afternoon.

Jockey Willie Pike, who's obviously a star jockey in the making, had little choice from his wide barrier other than to go forward where he eventually lobbed in the breeze at the girth of the leader. He applied a bit of pressure to the lamplighter around the corner, and when The Baron had straightened and had found his balance, Willie went for home and asked him for the effort. The pair fought off the half hearted challenges and won by 3/4 lengths with a little bit in reserve had it been required.

There are better races in store for Baron Orczy now, but he still has to go up yet another notch and break into Open company before he's a better than even money chance of getting a run in the higher value races at the looming Ascot Summer Carnival.
Still, the flashy Rory's Jester chestnut who just loves attention, is giving all his owners much joy as he continues to race so successfully.
