Retama Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Trials
APOLLITICAL COWBOY (10) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 302m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Has the class to find the winners' list. SPECIAL IVORY OAK (4) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), scoring by one length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. ABYDE BY THE TRAIN (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 229m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Noe Castaneda who was on board last start. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up. RED HOT RACHA (5) accounted for a maiden field over 274m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last start, finishing half a length ahead of the nearest rival. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Hector Javier Hernandez who was on board last start. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
