Freddo Cappuccino Sets Queens Plate Record In Win

At a time of year when most talented three year olds are showing their talents in TC prep races, and potentially the TC themselves, Freddo Cappuccino sat idle in a barn. He raced once as a two year old, at GRP in September, and would not be seen again on the track until the beginning of June. Since then, he’s been able to race, and show what he is capable of doing, and what he is capable of is winning the Queens Plate.

Half the Field Wins The Iselin Stakes

This area experienced some rain, downgrading the track to good, and that may have been the reason for the scratch of Tomahawks. The filly was the main storyline of the race, to see how her potential nine pound weight allowance would help. With her no longer in the picture, we were down to four runners, and half of them would end up as winners.
