Bona Venture Stables Racing Saturday

[mick]

As many of this sites readers have asked for information about Bona Venture Stables horses, Lucky Straight will race in the first race at Belmont Park on Saturday, June 17. The race sets up ideally for him at 7 furlongs. Since moving to Belmont, Lucky has recorded a third and a fourth place finish (only a length behind the winner despite having run into trouble in the race) at 6 furlongs. The added distance is ideal for him. We are highly optimistic that he will run well.

Thanks for the heads up Mick. Will St Bonaventure race at Monmouth again & when might he be at Saratoga?

Yes, Saint Bonaventure will race all summer at Monmouth Park. As to when his next race will be - probably in 2 or 3 weeks. Our plan is for him to race with that amount of a break in between, of course, it is a bit more complicated than that because we have to review the condition book, find a race that meets his conditions in distance, type of race, etc. and enter. There is no guarantee that your entry will be chosen as races are usually limited to 12 horses and if more than that are entered the finalists are chosen by lottery. Anyway, you should look for him to run again at Monmouth late in June.

Saratoga is only open 6 weeks a year, the last week of July through Labor Day in September. So, you could expect him to ship up for a race or two, but exactly when, I don't know. He will be based at Monmouth all summer until the meet ends in mid-September.

Also, Sage's Dream - a quality Bona Venture Stables horse - will be racing at Monmouth Park this Sunday in the 4th race. The distance is a mile and she will be a strong contender in this race.
