Golden Hare Wins Again
By MARTY McGEE



Golden Hare just keeps rolling on. The 8-year-old gelding posted another easy victory Thursday at Ellis in Henderson, Ky., in a starter-allowance turf sprint, marking his 13th win from his last 14 starts.

Ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr., Golden Hare took the lead soon after the start, then was never hard-used in defeating four rivals. He won by 2o1/4 lengths and returned $2.60.

Scott Blasi, the longtime Steve Asmussen assistant who claimed Golden Hare last August, has said he will continue to keep the gelding in starter-allowance company until he is no longer eligible, which, at many tracks, will be through the end of the year.

Golden Hare, winner of the Claiming Crown Express in his previous start, has lost just once in 14 races since being claimed at Remington Park for $3,500 - and that defeat came this spring at Churchill Downs by a nose.
