Ywachetta’s Rivers Run Deep was sent away a 1-9 favorite in Saturday’s $75,000 Edward Babst/Albert Palacios Memorial Handicap at Belterra Park and he justified that billing, taking the lead at the start and drawing off in the stretch to a nine length victory. It’s the sixth stakes win for the 4-year-old colt by Ready’s Image, trained by Chris Hartman, now 18-8-6-2 with $434,300 in earnings. He was sold by Rod McVey, Agent, for $77,000 to Garry Simms, Agent for James Driver, at the 2013 OBS June Sale after he worked an Under Tack eighth in :10 flat. watch his under tack video
