Tom Cango goes to Pompano

The $13,000 Open Handicap Trot on the Friday evening, December 18 program has a noted new entrant in three year old colt Tom Cango.

 

The son of Tom Ridge-B Cor Tamgo was the third place finisher to Muscle Hill in October's Kentucky Futurity final at The Red Mile.The career winner of almost $450,000 has been transferred from the care of Jim Campbell to race in Florida from the barn of Bill Gallagher by owners Arlene and Jules Siegel.

 

Tom Cango has drawn post four in Friday evening's fifth race. The dominant top class performer this meet, Battleshoe Victor has been assigned the outside post in the field of seven. On Saturday's evening doubleheader program, track record holder Esmeralda Semalu will try to rebound from last weekend's upset loss to three year old filly Bling in the Mares Open Pace, and the final card on Saturday night will see Rick Schaut's outstanding Mai Tai Guy clashing with six rivals in the $13,000 purse Open Pace.

 

Because December 25 falls on a Friday this year, there will no racing on that date at The Isle Pompano Park. Otherwise the schedule of live cards each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening at 7:05 p.m. will carry forward into 2010 at The Winter Capital Of Harness Racing. (Pompano)
