LIFE IN THE OLD BOY YET!!

What a wonderful old horse STRIKEN has developed into over the years. While carrying a bridesmaid tag for so long the six year old has returned to the track this campaign in superb form and I don't think he is done with yet. STRIKEN has won two of his past three starts and ran a mighty second at his other run. He seems to be enjoying his racing and has given everyone at the stables a big thrill. He was a bit of an old rogue to ride in his younger days however Jason Whiting who rides him in most of his track work seems to enjoy the challenge and looks forward to the old boys antics every morning now. With nearly $270,000 in earnings to his name, it is no wonder he thinks he is something special around the stables these days!!!




STRIKEN stretches his neck and every muscle in his body to stick his nose in front on the line at Belmont on Saturday.



Part owner Shirley Piper gets a big thrill out of the lead back to scale of Striken on Saturday.
