First win for 2012 Horizon, LLC partners
Our aptly named Hard Spun colt, Wicked Strong, proved to be just that beating a strong field in Maiden Allowance company on Saturday, October 26 at Belmont Park. He settled in along the rail behind the front of the pack, swung three wide to take the lead in the stretch and won by two lengths earning a Beyer of 80. The two-year-old colt scored the win on his second career start after finishing second on September 21 at Belmont.
He came out of the race in good order and we could not have been more pleased with how he handled every aspect of the race. Trainer Jimmy Jerkens is considering the $400,000 G2 Remsen at Aqueduct on Saturday, November 30 but won’t make the final decision for a week or two. Jimmy said after the race, “Wicked Strong didn’t do a thing wrong. I thought his race was perfect, really.”
