By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
ANOTHER BIG WEEKEND:Wonderful afternoon in store for racing fans Saturday as Derby Trail action comes into focus with the Hutcheson, Fountain of Youth, Risen Star, rescheduled Southwest and El Camino Real Derby all on tap. Magna 5 opportunity should be a little more lucrative this week after a tiny payout in the opener, and all stakes P4’s at New Orleans and Hallandale have potential to provide fireworks.
A SURE SIGN OF SPRING! The fun Road to the Roses contest starts today, and if you want to jump into a league, feel free to add your stable to the Derby Trail (and ATR) group. Prizes to the Top 5 finishers…

LLOYDOBLER STRETCHES OUT: Early part of the day will have Dee Tee Stables partners excited as Lloydobler makes his second career start at Aqueduct stretching out to a mile versus a nice group that have faced some well-regarded sophomores. Chucky Lopez rides back in the 2nd half of the opening Big A double, with the wide-blazed Smarty Jones colt the 6-1 fourth choice in the field of 8. Pace will be a key factor for the stalker-closer’s potential in the event, as there isn’t a clear indication of who in the group will be eager for the lead. Thanks to the partners, Gary Sciacca and Chuck Simon for making it possible, and to Gary’s long time assistant Paul Barone and Lloyd’s groom Javier who has been with the Sciacca barn nearly 15 years, for their tireless efforts.
