A win by Union Jack was one of the bright spots in an otherwise lackluster weekend of racing. In 5 starts, we could only muster a record of 5-1-1-0.
Stable stalwart Union Jack scored his 12th victory in the 10 furlong Turnbull Stakes. That victory moved him past Nightwing into 3rd place among all Otsego Farms racers. War Machine leads the way with 19 wins and Predator had 13.
Underachieving 3yo Big Slick finished a strong 2nd in the inaugural Revenge Stakes behind Bayonet from Snowbank Farm. We are very encouraged by this showing and feel that Big Slick may yet blossom into the racer we think he can be.
Newly acquired Chancellorsville finished 7th in a 10 horse field in the 10 furlong Gr1 Spring Champion Stakes. The grade was a bit of a stretch, but we felt it was a good test at that distance and didn't really anticipate hitting the board. Chance was stretching out at the finish, leading us to believe that he may be able to handle more distance, like his sire Nightwing.
Stowaway finished a disappointing 5th in the 7 furlong San Carlos Handicap. He was leading at 6 furlongs, but faltered and slipped back out of the money.
Five year old Stallion King of the Sea may be nearing the end of the line. His 84 PSR in the Gulfstram Park Handicap marked the 4th straight race under 90. He finished 5th in an 8 horse field and has now failed to earn a check in three straight races.
