Welcome Fabulous Strike!

The results are in! According to our official voting poll which closed earlier this afternoon, Fabulous Strike is now the newest member of our Veterans of the Turf Club!

The eight-year-old gelded son of Smart Strike has not raced since finishing second in the grade I Vosburgh Stakes at Saratoga in September 2009. However, he has finally recovered from his various injuries and is scheduled to race tonight at Penn National in the eighth race, a six furlong allowance race.

Here is Fabulous Strike's record to date:

StartsWinsSecondsThirdsEarnings
241450$1,409,412

Fabulous Strike's biggest win thus far came in the 2007 Vosburgh Stakes (gr. I), which he won by 5 3/4 lengths. He also ran second in the 2008 Vosburgh.

Although he is probably the best horse in tonight's race, he is facing some stiff competition tonight, and will likely have to work for victory. Peppi Knows, winner of a six furlong allowance optional claiming race last time out, has shown early speed and may be able to go with Fabulous Strike early. It should be an exciting race!

Here are the complete entries:
