THE JERSEY CLASSIC

Have a total of nine altogether in the upcoming New Jersey Classic at The Horse Park of New Jersey on Sunday September 12th.

 

As usual there will be bargains galore among the nine considering the number of quality horses we have sold at The Classic for not a lot of money.

 

The two most significant Classic alumni are millionaires Enough Talk and Maltese Artist the former of which was harnessed under his original name of Versache for $7,500.

 

Two years ago we sold a filly named Big Redhead for all of $5OO wound up winning over $40,000 when last we looked.

 

Last year’s most prominent graduate to date is McACE OF ARTS a McArdle filly from Southwind Tacy  whose already earned over $50,000 winning a Pennsylvania  Sires Stake in 1:53.2f.  Her hammer price was $9,000.

 

Among the headliners this year could be a pair of good looking Red River Hanover colts.

One, # 83 RUST IN THE WIND is the second foal of Rustys She Shark a half sister to Frankly Scarlett  1:50 and the exciting Ticket To Rock p,3,1:51.2 whose been the dominant New Jersey Sires Stake filly at Freehold of late.

 

Another # 165 RED IN BREAKFAST from the never miss Artemis Tss is a full brother to Red Riverboat who achieved some degree of fame out at Edmonton’s Northlands Park.

 

A GRAND GESTURE

Not 100% sure (Senior moments you know) just what led to Shark Gesture’s return to the races following a season in stud but certainly harness racing has been aided by the warhorse’s stellar performances the past few seasons.
