Gents Head to the Gate for The Razorback Handicap

2/24/24

  2  OP    The Razorback Hcp (GIII)

$600.000   4yo&Up   1 1/16m Dirt    Hcp Weights


All dirt roads lead to Hot Springs… down to OP we go for The Razorback Hcp (GIII), a mile and a sixteenth stakes for the older gents, and the ol’ hairpin can lead to wild action, so this should be an interesting race to watch.  I went with On Schedule as the top selection today…  I know he’s been sprinting of late, but he’s run well at two turns, and I think he uses that tactical speed to get the job done.  Let’s go right next door and look for Wimbledon to run big… he carries a couple extra pounds off of that win in the Ft Lauderdale (GII) last out, but he’s a real hit-or-miss type, thus why he was 99/1 in that big win, last out.  This race always seems to zig when I zag, so, who knows how this turns out.
