Sr. Champ Onboard 9/3/12 - Woodstock / Heat Race [03:13]
Onboard footage of the Sr. Champ Heat Race from the Woodstock Fair in Connecticut. The final round of the Northeast Challenge Series happens today. Due to my lousy luck at drawing numbers, I started 5th out of 6 karts. I tried to make my way up through the field, but had a hard time doing it. Woodstock is like a go-kart oval version of Monaco; it's narrow and tough to pass, but fun to drive on. I finished 3rd in the race and would start there for the Feature Race.

Strollers third race [05:25]
Much better run this time. Jockey's comments: the horse still raced a bit green, wanted to duck away from the whip and he knocked up a bit over the concluding stages.

Finished 1.2 lengths behind winner.

"Churchill Downs is a track that you should train (a horse) over before a race," Drysdale said. "That's according to Charlie (Whittingham). And Charlie does well there." Before launching his own career 20 years ago, Drysdale worked as an assistant for Whittingham, who won the Kentucky Derby with Ferdinand and Sunday Silence in the 1980s. The $1-million Distaff is expected to include Sky Beauty, Heavenly Prize and Lakeway, and Phone Chatter is also a possibility, depending on how she performs Sunday in the Spinster at Keeneland. Hollywood Wildcat didn't get back to the races this year until mid-June. After finishing third in the La Canada at Santa Anita, Drysdale put her on grass, where she won the Gamely Handicap and finished second in the Beverly Hills Handicap, both at Hollywood Park. She then ran second again, behind Flawlessly, the champion turf mare, in the Ramona Handicap at Del Mar. Hollywood Wildcat was back on dirt Monday, winning the same race that served as her ...
