A QUARTET OF OUR STABLE SCHEDULED TO RUN THIS WEEK

A QUARTET OF OUR STABLE SCHEDULED TO RUN THIS WEEK

Well, what will it be this time? A jockey walk-out? Unsafe track conditions? We’ve beeready and willing to run and keep hitting red lights, let’s hope this week is all green. As hoped, we have Rogues a Plotting and Dr. Spirito going to post in separate races on Wednesday.

Once again, our duo will not be wasting their talents competing against each other for the top spot as they head into their fields as the pre-race favorites. The similarities don’t end there – both race for the partnership of HMDC, Taste of Victory and TBC Racing, both were bred by Mapleton Farm, both are sons of Dominus, both are coming off solid pace-pressing efforts, and both will make their sophomore debuts with Lasix.

Rogues A Plotting heads to post in the 5thrd race (2:07 p.m.) and will now face 11 rivals. Trainer Penny Rone will have Luis Rivera back in the saddle. He will break from post position 2 and has a morning line of 5-2. Dr. Spirito will operate in the10th (4:27 p.m.) final race of the afternoon in a full field of 12. Alexander Crispin was named by Megan Fadlovich to ride the 5-2 pre-race favorite in the 6-furlong dash. Megan did send out Dr. Spirito for a leg-stretching breeze just six days ago.

Racing on Thursday are two HMDC and Taste of Victory older horses who are looking to get back to their winning ways with class drops. The first race (12:15 p.m.) will see Commissioner D in action. The 6-furlong race is for Accredited-bred Fillies and Mares running for a $6,500 tag for the 5-year-old. The Mapleton-bred daughter of Mobil won 3 of her 9 starts last season for trainer Megan Fadlovich. Idle since November 5, Commissioner D has posted a series of four solid works at Mahoning for her first start of the season. Mauro Cedillo is set to ride for HMDC and Taste of Victory Stable.

Lust for Life will head postward in the 4th race (1:11 p.m.) a $10,000 claiming event. It will be the first start of the season for the Mapleton-bred. Trainer Penny Rone has deputized Luis Rivera to ride. Fingers crossed for good weather both days!
