Great Bam was on the track again this morning in preparation for his anticipated race next Saturday. Clay had him go out and put in a sharp drill, which is his typical procedure in the final work before a race. Bam covered the five furlongs in 1:01.40 which ranked as the fastest of nine workouts recorded at the distance today.
The plan is still to put him in the $5,000 N2L on Saturday. Entries for Saturday will be taken on Wednesday; thus, at that point we will know whether or not he will race on Saturday.
Clay told Jeff today that the plan is to use jockey Seth Martinez. That name may be familiar to some of you, Martinez was Canterbury’s leading rider in both 2002 and 2005.
More information to come as the week progresses!
Looks like a trip to Canterbury to watch and bet the race.
I’m in favor of that.
I’ll be there if he runs! Also, I still have High Spirit in my workout watch and see that he is at Hawthorne as well. Fun to watch the progress of all the horses we’ve had. Good luck to Bam on Saturday!
I see Great Bam is entered in the 4th race Saturday. Interestingly, High Spirit is entered in the 2nd! Good luck to both.
