YESTERDAY’S NEWS: Perro Rojo a maiden no more

 

Trainer Nick Zito’s Perro Rojo made a profitable trip to Delaware Park yesterday, leaving with the winner’s share of a $34,000 purse and with his first career victory.

The juvenile Birdstone colt, a $70,000 auction purchase by owner Calumet Farm, rallied from the rear of the field despite a sluggish early pace to win by three lengths going away.  Favored Confederate was second, just nosing out Josey Wales for that spot.

Ridden by Carol Cedeno, Perro Rojo — “red dog” in Spanish — completed the 1 mile 70 yard journey in 1:44.74 and paid $8.00 to win as the 3-1 second choice.  The exacta, with odds-on Confederate in second, was good for $23 on a $2 wager.

Perro Rojo now has one win from two starts and earnings of $24,550.
