Since coming from Argentina Trondor has struggled in the United States to win a race but he did it today at Monmouth Park.  Sheldon Russell did a good job keeping him up to his task with a strong ride.  Congratulations to Team Valor International.

At Aqueduct, Icabad Crane was very unlucky in his Stake race.  He came with a great run on the rail, only for the gap to start closing on him which gave Rajiv no option but to stop riding for a instant, which in turn gave the horses that finished second and third the run on him.  Frustrating to see as he definitely looked the winner.{jcomments on}
