Laurel: Discreet Ops returns running to take feature

Four-year-old Discreet Ops returned from a two-month break with a flourish to snap a nine-race losing streak and take Laurel Park’s Sunday feature.

Jockey Sara Del Fabbro, a winner of dozens of races in England and her native Italy, earned her first U.S. win Sunday at Laurel Park.

A majority interest in Mo Money Mo Honey, undefeated after three flashy victories for trainer Benny Feliciano, has been sold to Mike Repole.

Trainer John McKee won two maiden special weight races at Charles Town, while Baptize the Boy broke through at Laurel in the week’s maiden winners.

Special Intention cost $500,000 as a yearling but in his first two starts hadn’t beaten a horse. He found the winning formula today at Laurel Park.
