PRM – 1 1/8 Mile – Dirt

For Three Year Olds And Upward

July 8, 2023

Cherokee Thriller stalked the pace set by Eagle Mountain and took control in the final furlong to win by half a length in good time. Unsuited Command moved with him but had to settle for second.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 Cherokee Thriller (Axeman) Lived up to his name in a thrilling win.

2 Unsuited Command (Spankys Barn) Stalked the pace and got up for place money.

3 Eagle Mountain (Spankys Barn) Set the pace, outrun in the stretch.

4 Auger (Barcelona Farms) Made up some ground late, but never really fired.

5 Absolution (Maxmillion Farm) Never a factor.

6 Niners Gold (Night Rider Stables) Close early but faded to last.

Cherokee Thriller was bred in BC by the owner. By Cherokee Sunset x Shadow Of A Doubt (Shadow Rider), the four-year-old colt scored his first graded win. His career earnings stand at $328.000. Congratulations to Cherokee Thriller and Axeman!
