Lenny's Back!!

Big news! Lentenor is entered in the eighth race at Delaware Park on Tuesday, August 24th! The race is a optional claiming race (rest assured that Lenny will never be claimed!) at seven and one half furlongs, on the turf.

The turf, in fact specifically the Delaware Park turf, is where older brother Nicanor is undefeated and it is safe to say that Lenny will be looking to continue the family tradition. Lenny's last start was in the Florida Derby, way back in March (he finished fourth by the way) and he has enjoyed a five month hiatus, growing into his now strapping body.

Jose Valdivia, Jr., who rode brother Nicky to victory in his last outing, will get the mount and Lenny has drawn post position number five.

Post time for the race is 4:24 pm, EST, and I know there will be a large contingent of FOBs in attendance to cheer him on, hopefully to victory.

Let's hope those Barbaro Brothers keep that turf record intact!
