Vancouver’s PETER REDEKOP recently celebrated the trio of honours earned by his 5-year-old Florida-bred ANYPORTINASTORM at Emerald Downs and will hope that his latest purchase Final Jeopardy can upend the 73rd BC Premier’s (Grade 3) on Sunday at Hastings Park
Anyportinastorm was named 2019 Horse of the Meeting, top sprinter and top older horse at the Emerald Downs meeting. Trained by Blaine Wright, Anyportinastorm ran season-fastest times at both six and six-and-a-half furlongs, winning the Governor’s Stakes in 1:07.54 and Budweiser Stakes in 1:14.35. The gelding is by City Zip out of La Defense by Wild Again.
Redekop, who recently added $10,000 of his own money to the BC Derby purse and then watched his big-money purchase Final Jeopardy close too late to be third, will start that sophomore in Sunday’s B C Premier’s at 1 3/8 miles.
