Its Pointless in Cal Expo spotlight
At 1h02, on February 6, 2022 • By CAL EXPO
Its Pointless, winner of three of his last four starts, heads the $7,700 Open Pace on Sunday (Feb. 4) night at Cal Expo, while Mandeville goes for his third straight score at the top rung in the co-featured $7,000 Open Trot.
Ten races will be presented under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with a 8:05 p.m. first post.
Its Pointless is a 5-year-old Kent’s On Nuke homebred who campaigns for Mark Anderson, takes his lessons from Gordie Graham, and has James Kennedy back at the controls.
Its Pointless rallied from well back to earn his scores on January 9 and 16, then put in another furious finish with a :26.1 final quarter the following week but fell a length short to the front end Allmyxsliventexas that evening.
In last week’s clash at the top of the division, Its Pointless sat back early as is his custom but came out to make a powerful burst down the backside and made the lead turning for home. He continued gamely in the drive to register a three-quarters of a length win while equaling his mark with the 1:52.2 clocking.
A Major Omen completed the exacta in that affair in another solid mile for his owner/driver/trainer Gerry Longo. The 6-year-old son of Art Major won the Dave Goldschmidt here in December and has added two Open victories in the interim.
