Enter - Rogue. Exit - your teeth.


Otsego Farms has entered prized 2yo filly Rogue in her first race this coming weekend.

Stable principals have been waiting impatiently for a reasonable field and they found it this week in the 4.5f Nursery Stakes. Just 10 fillies will go to post in this dirt sprint.

Rogue will eventually be more of a classic racer, but owner Jim Webber wanted to start her in a short, all-filly race. "And the venue will suit me just fine", quipped Webber. The race will be held at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California.

Another Otsego youngster, 2yo Quicksilver will also make his debut this weekend in the 4.5f Westchester Stakes, in an 11-horse field also at Hollywood Park.

Just for fun, can anyone name the two heavyweights pictured above?

The Rock and Jersey Joe?

That's right. That shot is considered the most brutal of all heavyweight knockouts. You can see the distortion of Walcott's face in the series of pictures that chronicled the KO. Marciano was a beast, 49-0 with 43 knockouts.
