Otsego Farms had just three entries in the first weekend of racing.
The 3yo colt Firefighter entered in the Grade 3 Spectacular Bid Stakes. He has not raced since mid-August and has trained well, so we expected him to have a favorable showing.
Doomsday, 5yo male, entered the 6F Gr2 Premier Stakes. We wanted to enter him primarily in lower graded races this year, but decided to take a chance on this race and we were rewarded with a small field.
And Lady Katherine, our speedy 3yo filly, entered an ungraded Starter Allowance at Shenandoah Downs. She finished last season with a 6-1-1-1 record in low grade races. She'll step up in race class later this year, but we wanted to start slowly.
RESULTS:
The track was slightly off in the Spectacular Bid, so we decided to scratch Firefighter.
Doomsday started well and looked very fit while finishing 2nd in the Premier Stakes. He went off as the favortite with EVEN odds. With Imagine from Establos Del Castillo won by 2 lengths. All in all, a nice effort from Doomsday.
Tragically, Lady Katherine suffered a rather severe injury during her race. She was cruising comfortably and then pulled up and struggled home to cross the line 7th. She is being evaluated by our medical staff, but early reports indicate that she will miss at least 2 months of racing.
