Thanksgiving Weekend

BGR gets to close out the Churchill meet strong with two runners and one runner that needs a couple scratches.

Cool Clue makes his dirt debut on Thanksgiving in a 1 turn mile maiden race. His last race was sneaky good being wide the entire trip and he should be extremely competitive in this spot. Chuck has another runner(Normanruth) that he owns also competing in this spot and we are hoping for a 1-2 finish, either way!!

Rochelle Rochelle has been entered for a 9 furlong turf race on Friday but will need some help to be allowed to run. She is 3rd on the AE list in a race that drew 16 entries. This is unfortunately something that connections have to deal with all the time in horse racing, especially at a meet like the Churchill fall meet where people are trying to get as many starts in as possible before winter hits. Hopeful she goes but if not, there is racing for her in Florida.

Big Shake drew the 11 hole on closing day at Churchill. We are once again up against Lentenor, Barbaro's full brother who first took on Gondorf at Keeneland and now Big Shake gets to try his luck against him. Jon Court is aboard for what should be the ideal distance for the Johar colt.

Mizz Liza has had two published works since coming back from a freshening and Colonel Klink has been a handful for the help as he is also coming back from minor surgery. Look for both of them to make their 2010 debuts at Tampa Bay Downs.

Winter plans are currently on their way as Richwood Silver and Cool Clue will be shipping to Philadelphia Park early next week. All other BGR horses will be shipping to Ocala, FL; where Chuck will be wintering at the Classic Mile. Really looking forward to training at the Classic Mile as it should be the ideal winter location for both Chuck, and the Bob Gary Racing operation.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
