Order and Law Breaks Maiden in $100,000 Laurel Futurity
LAUREL, MD – Bran Jam Stable and David Clark’s Order and Law, who made his debut in the Tyro last month, rallied from last on Laurel’s Fort Marcy Turf Course Saturday to break his maiden in the $100,000 Laurel Futurity sponsored by B & B Commercial Interiors.
Trained by Louis Linder Jr, and ridden by Feargal Lynch, Order and Law ($21.80) covered a good six furlong course in 1:14.94.
A 2-year-old son of Violence bred by Dell Ridge Farm in Kentucky, Order and Law finished fourth in the Tyro at Monmouth in his debut before finishing second in a maiden special weight event Aug 26 at Parx. Breaking from the No. 14 post Saturday, Order and Law trailed down the backstretch and entering the turn while Mooji Moo Jr. was pressed past a :23.44 opening quarter by Regally Irish and a :48.67 half by Veterans Beach.
As Scrap Copper was taking the lead from Veterans Beach an eighth of a mile from the finish, Order and Law kicked into gear and drove down the middle of the course, just getting up at the wire to beat Scrap Copper.
“We’re thrilled to see him get up,” Linder said. “I knew he would come running, especially with the soft going. I saw him coming, then he went out of the picture. Then I saw him coming again and I knew we had a shot.
“He showed a lot of talent from the beginning, and moving forward I think he’ll get better with more distance. We’ll look at a race at Keeneland That would probably be our next move.”
