FLAMING EAST (Divining Rod) broke his maiden last out in his 3rd start and liked the idea of winning so much he wired the field to win the next outing to make it 2 in a row. The 3 year old gelding is owned by Squire Thoroughreds LLC and trained by Lacey Gaudet. He was bred by Candyland Farm
Two year old FREEDOM ROAD (Malibu Moon) won his first start willingly sprinting at Monmouth Park. Next out he tried the Sapling Stakes without luck. Racing next in the Laurel Futurity, he overcame a bump and a pinch back at the start and had to run wide throughout, but got up in time for the show and earned his first black type. He is trained by Gregory D. Sacco for owner Pinnacle Racing Team. FREEDOM ROAD was sold by Kirkwood at OBS March this spring.
