Hypnotic Blue Chip equals track record in Battle of Lake Erie

July 3, 2010

Francis Azur’s Hypnotic Blue Chip ($8.60) won Saturday’s (July 3) $100,000
Battle of Lake Erie at Northfield Park with a track record equaling 1:49.4 effort.
He defeated Won The West by five lengths, with favored Foiled Again, who set
the fractions, finishing third.

Foiled Again and Dave Palone battled Pilgrims Toner for the early lead and took
the field to the first quarter in :26 seconds. Pilgrims Toner backed off and Foiled
Again hit the half in :54 seconds, but driver Jody Jamieson had Hypnotic Blue
Chip out and moving and at the 3/4 pole, the pair were neck and neck, and
Hypnotic Blue Chip then put the favorite away with a :27.4 final brush.

Kevin McDermott trains Hypnotic Blue Chip, a 4-year-old son of Art Major. In
addition to the track record, the mile equals the fastest ever on a half-mile
racetrack and equals the fastest at night on a twice-around mile.
