We've got four horses being sent out this week, which makes it one of our bigger offerings for the season.
With just 12 racers and our propensity to give approximately 40 days of rest, four entries is about the most we can expect in any given week.
2yo filly Nebula will run in the 6.5F Adirondack Stakes. It will be her third career race and the longest distance thus far. She has finished 3rd in both previous starts.
Another 2yo, colt War Hammer will make his racing debut, also at 6.5F as mentioned in the story below. It will be a small 5-horse field which is very agreeable to the connections at Otsego Farms.
After a six-week layoff, 4yo Sabretooth will drop down to 8F at the Evangeline Downs Mile Handicap. He will be trying for his first victory in what has been a disappointing season.
And finally, 4yo mare Domino will stretch to 9F in the Emerald Distaff. She has raced primarily at 6F or less in her career thus far. Our trainers suspect that with maturity, Domino has strengthened to the point where 9+ furlongs may be within her ability.
A big week for Otsego Farms. We have a 2yo looking to make the next step, a valued 2yo making his first race, a veteran racer trying to prove he still has value, and a mare attempting a distance that she may not even suspect she is capable of. Should be interesting, huh Kemosabe?
