Reappeal Scores Aqueduct Victory

NEW YORK — Reappeal had no trouble making the move from claiming to allowance status with a convincing 2 1/2-length victory in Aqueduct’s $41,000 Top Avenger purse Wednesday.

Ridden by Richard Migliore and carrying 115 pounds, Reappeal shook off a strong challenge from Valamont and pulled away in the stretch.

Sizzl’n Avenger, 119, came on to finish second in the seven-horse field. It was another five lengths to A Corking Limerick.

The victory was the second in a row and the fourth in six starts this year for Reappeal. He covered six furlongs in 1:11 4-5 and returned $6.40, $3.60 and $3.
