I don't usually play tracks like Fonner, but I notice that they seem to run a lot of geldings there, almost Hong Kong-like. Tomorrow’s last and feature race, The Dowd Mile, has a field of ten, nine are geldings, including the top two favorites, Mr Tickle and Blue Harbor, both 8-yr-old geldings. There’s also a nine and a ten year old gelding in the field. This is pretty cool IMO.
I would love to see the sport here in the U.S. take on the Hong Kong model so that horses stay on the track longer. Horses like Kelso that stay around and win year after year are one of the best way to attract new fans.
