TRAXCO’s 10-Race Card Features 10 Debut Runners

St. Croix's top mares and fillies broke in a line last race day.
St. Croix's top mares and fillies broke in a line last race day.

The horses will be off and running again on Sunday as TRAXCO presents a 10-race midsummer card at the Randall “Doc” James racetrack. Ten horses will be making their debut, including two in the featured 7-1/2 furlongs ninth race.

Making their debut in Sunday’s feature will be Bambi Bound and Congo. A look at Bambi Bound’s recent stateside record will show that he has been sprinting for most of his career, but his local connections may have him going longer. The Congo, on the other hand, has been going long and shows one victory in eight starts for 2012. Both of these newcomers will be in tough against some of the best in the Virgin Islands.

The highly touted Slevin returns after a break from the races and will be looking to stake his claim once again as best in the territory. Carse, a former champ, looked good last race day and will also be looking to move forward off that effort. Twisted Dream of St. Thomas will be looking to upset the locals, while Expect Smoke, stepping up in class, will try to pull a shocker.
