Welshman aims at the Grade 1 Lonesome Glory at Aqueduct today. Post time 1:10. Fresh off a win on the flat at Fair Hill, the son of Flintshire takes on seven rivals (Evie’s Prince is scratched) in the $150,000 stakes. Trained by Jack Fisher and ridden by Graham Watters, the 7-year-old is 9-2 behind favorite and highweight Zarak The Brave.
Find cover, wait, pick up the pieces.
Watch Welshman win at Fair Hill.
Just finished talking about the race with Steve Byk on At the Races. Well, we talked a bit about the race and a lot about racing. Joe Aitcheson Jr. to Keeneland Sales to Arlington Park to Perry Ouzts to Fair Hill to Aqueduct to the thrill of riding races. With retired jockey Tony Black, there is no script.
As for Keeneland, we were underbidder on two fillies. Early Voting and McKinzie. We’ll see if we write about them in The Saratoga Special.
Two at Laurel Park Saturday. Pietrelcina and Jhirsch go six turns around the Maryland oval.
