Essence Hit Man

8 year old makes his return (620 day layoff) tomorrow night in the Ontario Jockey Club Stakes at Woodbine.

At age 4 he set the Woodbine track record for 6F (01:08.16) that still holds. He's 10 - 6 - 2 - 1 at the distance.

Just a head's up in case anyone is bored tomorrow night, didn't know about the race and wants to see if he can still bring it. Working out like he's ready to go. And it's a nice little field for a Wednesday night.

That is a serious layoff? I'd be nervous of a short price.

Would love to see him and Black Hornet hook up this year but he hasn't worked out in a long time.

on the lead with a 46 half...had no chance of hanging on

I disagree. That was a slow half for him. Like Alabama said he should have been leading by half a pole.
He got beat by a good horse, held second, hopefully comes out OK and continues on.
