Jean Lafitte
Stakes – Delta Downs
Win:
Toddchero
The Florida-bred
two-year colt is trained by Jayde Gelner and ridden by jockey CJ McMahon. He
will be breaking out of the No. 4 gate as a prime position in the race.
Toddchero placed third in the Clever Trevor Stakes on Oct. 28. That event was
won by Wildatlanticstorm with Campfire Creed in second place.
Toddchero
finished first, second or third in four of five races this young season. The
son of Bucchero has graduated to a mile in the Jean Lafitte after proving
himself in dirt sprints. Toddchero is the favorite because of the rather high
Horse Racing Nation rating in the field.
Place: Rithm
Nic
Trained by
Chris Richard, Rithm Nic will be starting No. 1 with Vince Del Cid as his
jockey. The two-year colt bred in Kentucky won the Allowance race at Delta
Downs on Oct. 21. He covered seven furlongs on dirt in 1:29.58 over Sheer
Element and Mor Victory.
Sired by
Outwork, he has competed in both dirt and turf sprints. The Jean Lafitte Stakes
will be the first time he crossed one mile. Rithm Nic also raced at Canterbury
Park in Minnesota and Kentucky Downs.
Show:
Mustafa
The two-year
gelding was born in Kentucky and raced for Greg Appleyard Highfield Investment
Group. Mustafa is trained by Greg Tracy and ridden by jockey Alex Birzer. He
will start at No. 5 in the Jean Lafitte Stakes. His first race of the season
was at Delta Downs and he won a five-furlong race with a time of 60.48 over
Runtoday and Perfect Prank.
Mustafa is
sired by Midnight Lute and Moneybru and is going a mile on dirt for the first
time in his young career. Bred by champions, Mustafa will use his home-track
advantage to finish in the money in spite of his youth.
