Hastings Park horse races: Churchill Handicap Senor Rojo Sep262010 [02:41]
On a sloppy, drying out track before one of the largest crowds in recent memory, 6 older runners raced in the Churchill Handicap @ 1 & one-eighth miles, @ Hastings Park in Vancouver BC. Eight yr old Spaghetti Mouse set the pace as expected, and held on well to be a clear cut 2nd to Senor Rojo. Some fans bet on Trick of the North, ridden by star jockey Russell Baze, to repeat his Aug 2 performance, but he was unable to mount a serious challenge. Great job by trainer Dave Forster to have Senor Rojo set to run a big one! Surprisingly, Almost Time apparently didn't like the track & never threatened.
