HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -- Eskenformoney finally got her much-deserved first graded stakes victory by wearing down an embattled and dead game Curlins Approval to register a three-quarter-length victory in Saturdays Grade 3 Rampart at Gulfstream Park.Eskenformoney, a daughter of Eskendereya owned by Star Ladies Racing, had been graded stakes-placed five times in her career going into her 4-year-old finale. Finally breaking through after tripping out beautifully under regular rider Javier Castellano, who kept her perfectly placed behind Curlins Approval and her own stablemate Genre in the 1-1/16-mile Rampart.Curlins Approval and Genre slugged it out on the lead through splits of 23,53, 45.64 and 1:09.71 for the opening six furlongs, with Eskenformoney poised to strike while being kept little more than a length off the pace from the outset. Castellano sent Eskenformoney up three wide to challenge the embattled leaders turning into the stretch, his filly finally wearing down Curlins Approval inside the eighth pole before maintaining a safe advantage to the end.Curlins Approval, who surprisingly went postward as the odds-on, 1-2 favorite, turned in a huge effort in defeat in her two-turn debut. She withstood the early challenge from Genre, then briefly resisted the winner before ultimately succumbing near the end. It was another 1-1/2 lengths back to the tiring Genre in third.Eskenformoney paid $13.20 after negotiating the distance in 1:35.47 over a fast track.Talking to Johnny and Javier before the race, they said it looks like you wanted to be involved early, Pletcher said. The strategy was to come out running with both of them, and Genre just came out showing a little more natural speed. But Javier made a conscious effort to stay as close as he could, and it worked out.Pletcher said he was happy Eskenformoney finally became a graded stakes winner after several frustrating near misses at 3 and 4.It was nice to see, she really deserved it, Pletcher said. She knocked on the door several times this summer and just missed, and did so as a 3-year-old. She seems to like Gulfstream, shes always seemed to run well here, and it was good to see her finally pick up a graded win. Erik Gudbranson Jersey . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.

Red Bull Racing owner Roland Dane has taken a swipe at defecting Supercars engineer Ludo Lacroix, accusing his long-time lieutenant of being duplicitous.Triple Eight announced Lacroixs departure from the powerhouse outfit this week, with the prodigiously-talented operator reportedly agreeing to join up-and-coming rival Supercars team DJR Team Penske in 2017.In the latest sign of animosity between the sports undisputed leaders and the cashed-up Ford upstarts, Dane couldnt resist criticising his technical director on his way out.It was news to us this week where he was going. That was duplicitous, but thats to be expected in this business, he told Fox Sports from Pukekohe ahead of this weekends meet.Dane contrasted Lacroixs departure to fellow ex-Red Bull engineer Adrian Burgess move to Holden Racing Team three years earlier.Its what happens when youre at the top of the category as we have been for a decade. People are going to come and try and steal people from you, he said.It doesnt surprise me when someone comes along with more money and wants to spend it.Ive known that Ludo was wanting to leave and ... Im very comfortable with that decision.The relationship has run iits course.dddddddddddd Its been very good for us.With Lacroix placed on gardening leave by Red Bull and not in New Zealand for the seasons penultimate meet, soon-to-be employers DJR Team Penske declined to comment on the matter.Speaking after practice on Friday, Red Bull driver Jamie Whincup appeared to be moving on from the decision.We miss Ludo but thats the way it goes, he said.Lacroix has been one of the key figures in Red Bulls dominance of the sport.Should Shane van Gisbergen or Jamie Whincup claim this years title as expected, the team will have won all but two of the past nine drivers titles - and eight team titles in that same stretch.Lacroix was given a role as Craig Lowndes race director during 2016 as the outfit expanded to three cars.His most memorable moment this year was masterminding a two-stop strategy in Perth that allowed car No.888 to roar through the field from 22nd position for one of Lowndes two victories this year.At DJR Team Penske, Lacroix will work with Kiwi pair Fabian Coulthard and new signing Scott McLaughlin.
