Racer Preview - Big Slick


Big Slick by Troll Tower out of Charon. Will race as a 2yo next season.

We are very optimistic about this chestnut colt who was excellently bred by Joe from Pointgiven Stables.

The sire Troll Tower had a distinguished career with earnings of $7.6 million including a tremendous win at the Dubai World Cup.

Charon had just 12 races in her career, but had 7 wins and 5 second place finishes with career earnings just under one million.

Otsego Farms acquired Big Slick last year in a deal that included cash and a breeding to War Machine, which eventually produced the filly By A nose Jo (War Machine x Secret Status). Banjo was one of just two fillies in War Machine's initial foal crop, the other being Otsego's Rogue.

Big Slick inherited his fathers endurance, he likes a lot of distance. He is a fighter who is at least adequate on all surfaces. Some of his other attributes are:
  • Incredibly consistent.
  • Recovers quickly.
  • Good acceleration.
  • Breaks well.
  • Good speed. Could set records.
We look forward to seeing Big Slick on the track next season. We anticipate approximately 6-8 races in his first season. Keep an eye on this one.
