The Red Mile will play host to another powerful Grand Circuit card
with eight divisions of the Bluegrass stakes drawn for Friday night. The Walnut
Hall, LTD two-year-old colt trot required five races to accommodate the forty
one entries and freshman filly pacers split three ways in the Crawford Farms.
All of the top trotting colts have been entered for the $393,000
Walnut Hall with Peter Haughton Memorial winner Centurion ATM, undefeated PASS
champ Billy Flynn, William Wellwood Memorial winner Habitat, KYSS final winner
Cinnabar Hall, American National winner Iron and the NYSS champ Crazy Wow
sprinkled throughout the card.
The pacing fillies will race for a total of $287, 600 in the
Crawford Farms and are evenly matched throughout the divisions. The last of the
three (race 8) appears the deepest on paper with four fillies showing
six-figure seasonal earnings thus far.
Bedroomconfessions has had a dreamy season thus far for Stephanie
& Myron Bell’s Riverview Racing and trainer/owner Tony Alagna. The American
Ideal homebred has a pair of wins, five runner-ups and $187, 733 in eight
starts with her last two defeats coming at the hand of division leader JK
Shesalady who is sitting this one out. Scott Zeron is her regular driver and is
listed for Friday.
Bedroomconfessions won’t miss her nemesis here but she’ll have her
hooves full with the likes of Shakai Hanover who has been impressive enough to
warrant her recent sale to Let It Ride Stables and Dana Parham. She moves from
the Carl Jamieson barn to Ross “Croc” Croghan now and leaves from post one with
Jody Jamieson retaining the mount.
The field also includes a pair of high dollar earners from the Ron
Burke barn in Kays Dragon Lady and Bettor N Better.
Friday’s twelve race program gets underway at 7:00pm. The forecast
is fine and if you enjoy the very best Grand Circuit racing has to offer, make
plans to attend.
