For Four Year Olds and Upward

June 10, 2023

On Schedule hugged the rail as long as he could, then swung out to the two lane late to make his run, splitting horses and getting to the wire a length ahead of Iron Mine and Dancing Rattler. The five-year-old gelding won by a length in near record time.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 On Schedule (Mb Stables) Came off the rail in the final furlong to win by a length.

2 Iron Mine (Fractious) Came from mid-pack to tie for second with Dancing Rattler.

3 Dancing Rattler (Martyparty) Came from the clouds to get up for second.

4 Championship Rounds (Mb Stables) Even mid-pack run for fourth.

5 Lennon (Arindel) Stalked the pace, had to settle for fifth.

6 Ideal Info (Arindel) Led early, then faded to sixth.

7 Rudy Is With Me (Mb Stables) Never a factor.

8 Hot Dog (South Shore Stables) Stalked the pace early, faded to eighth.

9 Expert Eye (TwinTowersRacing) Never a factor.

10 Buy Low Sell High (Asgar) Never involved.

11 Street Edge (Spankys Barn) Faded from mid-pack to eleventh.

12 Gnome Guitar (Nakamura Stables) Last at every call.

For On Schedule it was the sixth win in sixteen starts. The son of Worst Case Scenario and Say It Out Loud (Condottieri) was bred by the owner in CAL. The win brings his career earnings to $613.900. Congratulations to On Schedule and Mb Stables!
