Great Bam – and the rest of Clay’s string – has made it to Chicago in good order according to Clay. He has 16 stalls at Hawthorne right now and plans to stable there both through the coming fall meet and the spring meet which starts up again after a short winter hiatus.

As pointed out in the comment section of a previous post, there is a $5,000 N2L with an $11,000 purse on the second day of the meet – October 6. This is the most likely spot for him if he continues train well. The race is six furlongs and that is the distance Clay would prefer to race him at.

Entries for that race will be taken on October 3, so he has some time to recover from his past race and get ready for the Hawthorne meet.
