Victim of Love and Joel Rosario winning the 2021 Vagrancy Handicap
Tommy Town Thoroughbreds Victim of Love edged clear to a 2 1/4-length score in Saturday s Grade 3, $150,000 Vagrancy Handicap, a 6 1/2-furlong sprint for older fillies and mares at Belmont Park.
Trainer Todd Beattie said it was an emotional victory after nearly losing the mare to colic following her third-place effort last summer in the Grade 1 Ballerina at Saratoga.
“I actually was a tick choked up in the interview yesterday after the race,” said Beattie. “She puts such an effort out and when she came back she was breathing hard. She just gives it to you and so many horses don t always give that effort, but she s not that way. Although that was fairly easy for her, she put in a big effort.
