Aikenite Set to Make 3-year-old Debut
By Ben Baugh
1/14/2010 - Dogwood Stable's Aikenite will be making his 3-year-old debut Jan. 23, in the 1-mile Grade 3 $150,000 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
"It's exciting to have a good 3-year-old, to have this type of anticipation, and it's delightful to have the horse named Aikenite at a time when Aiken is celebrating its 175th anniversary," said W. Cothhran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president.
The dark bay, Florida-bred son of Yes It's True, is making his way along the Kentucky Derby trail, while under the care of 4-time Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher.
"It's a big day, and it will be good to get him started," said Campbell. "He's working well. He's not a horse who's going to run into the wall and catch a fly ball if he doesn't have to. He does what he needs to do."..More |
