Splendid Form!
As the Stidham stable heads into another furiously busy week, the horses remain in splendid form, as evinced by Jack a Rose’s exciting victory at Delaware Saturday.
Family Tree Racing’s four-year-old son of Midshipman was given a confident ride by Michael Sanchez, stalking the pace for much of the way before pouncing down the home straight to hold on by half a length.
Lightly raced throughout his career, Jack a Rose has really blossomed this year, and this next step up the ladder could lead to even better things. Fingers crossed!
