Pleasecallmeback, a 5-year-old gelding, had run about 20 times on the flat, mostly at Woodbine in Canada, placing in a couple of stakes as a 2-year-old before being dropped to allowance and claiming races as a 3- and 4-year-old.

"He was purchased privately by Patrick Lewis (who races as Upland Flats Racing) last fall," said Hendriks. "I won a flat race on him last fall and then rode him in a point-to-point."

 

"I DIDN'T ride him at Camden, where he got run off his feet and got scared, so we took him back to a point-to-point," said Hendriks. "Then we took him to Radnor, where he was second. He has a lot of closing speed. He's a nice little horse."

Pleasecallmeback had to weave his way between loose horses  through the turn and the stretch.

Seismic Wave, trained by Neil Moris, lost his rider,Alex Harvey, at the fourth fence, whle Real Factor, trained by Arch Kingsley, was out in front with a big lead when he lost his rider, Mark Watts, at the fifth fence.

Neither horse bothered anyone at the fences but were in close quarters in the stretch.
