LAUREL, Md. -- Ivan Fallunovalot came a long way to compete in the $250,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash, but the trip was well worth it after he dogged X Y Jet into submission and pulled away to win the six-furlong race by 4-1/2 lengths.Ivan Fallunovalot is based at Remington Park with trainer Tom Howard. He vanned from Oklahoma to Maryland for the Grade 3 De Francis, and will soon make the return trip.X Y Jet looked like the lone speed in the six-horse De Francis, but jockey Calvin Borel never let him get too far in front. He pressed him through fractions of 22.34 and 45.79 and took the lead entering the stretch.We backed it up and went slow, Borel said. The best horse to finish was going to win. Id just like to thank Mr. Tom for giving me the chance to ride him.Howard said he told Borel to be patient during the race, but not to let him get too far in front.If nobody was going to help, we had to do it ourselves, Howard said.Ivan Fallunovalot paid $8.20 to win after X Y Jet was hammered down to 1-5 favoritism; he was timed in 1:10.07. Weather conditions at Laurel changed in the hour leading up to the race: a gusty headwind was blowing up the stretch.Ivan Fallunovalot is now perfect in four starts this year and has won six of his last seven starts back to August 2015. Howard claimed Ivan Fallunovalot for $25,000 in early 2014.

Howard said. I hadnt heard from Lewis, and I thought Id lost him too, and then he called and said, Theres a horse I want you to take a look at tomorrow, and if you like him, take him. It turned out to be Ivan.Ivan Fallunovalot has chronic quarter cracks, according to Howard, which have limited his starts this year.
