A big day for the Jacksons tomorrow. Both Lentenor and Martita Sangrita are racing at Churchill Downs in the special day of racing that features a full card of races just for two year olds.
Martita Sangrita, a two year old filly named for dancer Martita Goshen, is racing in the 10th race. It is one mile on the turf. Lentenor is entered in the 12th race which is a mile and an eighth, also on the turf.
This race is longer than Lentenor's first six furlong race and it is also on the turf. Apparently, like his brothers, he can run on either surface. The weather, of course, has to cooperate so that the turf course has a chance to dry out. We have had a spell of wet weather here in the East, although it has remained unseasonably warm. The forecast is for a clear day in the fifties.
If you are near an OTB, both races will be simulcast. I presume they will also be carried on TVG. Lenny's race is a good one--all horses have had race experience. In the morning line, he is the 4 to 1 third choice, although he may well go off the favorite because of his fan base!
I had thought they would try to fit in one more race at Churchill before heading south. I believe both horses will be heading to Florida after their races tomorrow.
Let's bring 'em both home safely and hope for two winners!
