TEXAS and OKLAHOMA heard from this morning! Lone Star Park and Remington Park trainer Terry Eoff sends DANCIN FOR GOLD (not pictured) out in the $100,000 Ready's Rocket Express while GOLD FRONT (pictured) awaits one scratch to land in the field of the $150,000 Canterbury. Terry's barn is managed by Oklahoma-native Alysha Diaz who brought her son as barn-hand/walker for one of their rare visits to Churchill. Best of luck!
Freedom Road really loves Andie (Biancone) Asmussen....but 🤫 don't tell Keith.
Latest phenom apprentice jock Yomar Ortiz Jr. doesn't forget the people who have brought him along. We caught up with him this morning galloping Claiming Crown horses for The Maryland Jockey Club trainer Joanne Shankle. It's his close connection to Assistant Rodolfo Sanchez-Salomon that brought him by. Good friends with Yomar's father, an active mid-atlantic jockey, the assistant trainer is prepping three of Shankle's horses for Saturday. Having practically grown up at Laurel, Yomar is relishing the chance to help out old friends. 🌟 "I’m very excited because he’s basically watched me grow up as a little kid coming to his barn - and now I get the opportunity to ride for him!"🌟 Yomar will ride Ginger Girl in the Glass Slipper while Martin Chuan gets the mounts on Bold Diversion (Rapid Transit) and Bill of Rights (Iron Horse).Good luck to all!
HUGE thank you to corporate partner FLAIR Equine Nasal Strips for providing #ClaimingCrown branded nasal strips for horses competing on Saturday! Today's supermodel - Iron Horse competitor Freedom Road. The team canvased the backside all morning handing them out to trainers and staff. #HorsemenHelpingHorsemen #NoNostrilLeftBehind
