I’m Steppin’ It Up seeks second career victory on Saturday
After posting a very impressive maiden score in his most recent outing, Roman Hill Farm’s I’m Steppin’ It Up will be seeking his second career victory at Delaware Park this Saturday. The 2-year-old son of Congrats will be facing five rivals in a one mile turf allowance which has been carded as the seventh race with an approximate post time of 3:57 p.m. In his last start, the Florida-bred trained by Anthony Pecoraro posted a 10 ¼-length score in a mile and seventy yard $36,000 maiden at Delaware Park on August 16. In his two other starts, he finished sixth in a five furlong maiden at Delaware Park on May 29 and then followed with a second in a turf maiden at Belmont Park on July 11. The even-money morning-line favorite has lifetime earnings of $37,350. The meet’s leading jockey, A. R. “Rosie” Napravnik will have the mount.
His main competition will come from Endeavor Bloodstock’s The Flying Whizzer who recently ran second in the $101,000 Contintental Mile at Monmouth Park on August 14. Previously, the Florida-bred trained by Jane Cibelli ran second in the $50,000 Chenery Stakes at Colonial Downs on July 17. The son of Spanish Steps sports a career record of a win and two seconds from five starts with earnings of $42,452.
