Prince goes to Mohawk and wins. After finishing last against open class 2 at vernon I decided to send him up north for the rest of the year. He will be racing in nw2(18k purse),nw3(20k) and nw4 (22k) until he turns 6 yrs old. I did not get any support from anybody at Vernon "he's only a 5 claimer", "he won't make any money up there" "you'll be back in a month broke" etc etc etc. Well he wired the field on Monday night with Randy Waples driving in 1:53 and paid $21.40. He beat a nice Casie Coleman 3-yr old who was bet down to 1-2. I want to thank my trainers Joe and his daughter Jennifer Sansone for a great job caring for Prince and the 5 wins in ten starts while he was racing in the U.S. But now the new trainer is Canadian Rheal Bourgeois and his daughter Nicky and after spending all day last monday with them I feel very confident that Lightning Prince will be sending lightning bolts at the Mohawk horses for the rest of the year.

Saratoga harness opens tonight . FINALLY. Although starting purses will be 10% lower this year to start I am hopeful of an increase back to last years levels soon. Prince is in to go Saturday night in the 8th race, post 5. he is very sharp and fresh right now, but may need a start. The rest of the field have all been racing at Yonkers this year.

Saratoga Harness just clogs up the Capital OTB channel with 2:04 minutes of worthless crap every 14 minutes. Who bets on the Saratoga matinee card? Nobody.
