The horses will be off and running Sunday at the Randall “Doc” James Race Track on a short but well-matched six-race card.
This will be the race that should get many of the horses tuned up for the big Labor Day races.
The featured race Sunday will be the sixth and final of the day, a six-furlong sprint for $4,000. Featured in that race will be the highly touted newcomer Berberis, carying 118 pounds, who was handily defeated in his debut last race day by St. Croix champ Expect Smoke. Since it was his first race over the surface he will have to be given a chance to acclimatize and everyone will look for an improved performance Sunday.
Berberis will be joined by the speedy Groomsman, also at 118, who he just edged last race day, Puerto Rican Emblem, 115 pounds, who also ran a huge race in his last outing, Spanish Market who is still waiting to show his best stuff since coming to St. Croix and Bruno’s Burst, a speedster who hopes to pull a surprise stepping up in class.
