Habaneros raced in a Grade II stakes at Prairie Downs in Altoona Iowa
today. The race ended in a 4 horse blanket finish which means that
you could throw a blanket over all 4 horses. This is the Equibase
call:
"HABANEROS settled off the early leaders racing three deep on the
first turn, tracked the pacesetters to the stretch, angled out a bit
entering the lane, split horses a sixteenth out and loomed a bold
threat outside rivals, went willingly to the wire."
I thought he did a pretty good job with the jockey moving him all
over the track for a not very good ride. I had him losing by a nose,
a nose, a nose, and a neck.
He earned $15,000 for fourth place which at least paid for his
transportation.
I expect that his next start will be at Del Mar north of San Diego
CA. Since he is a gelding he does not have a future at stud and will
probably run until something breaks.
