Willis takes top Fox spots

April 14, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Trainer Nelson Willis had two reasons to smile on Thursday night when Apache Hotspur and Johns My Buddy finished one-two in the $19,000 second leg of the Fox Sports Net Series at the Meadowlands. The final time was 1:50.3.

Driven by Cat Manzi, Apache Hotspur got up in the final strides to win, holding off his stablemate Johns My Buddy by a neck. It was a half-length back to Cut Loose Hanover in third.

Apache Hotspur and Johns My Buddy were two-thirds of a trio Willis raced in the Fox Sports Net. Apache Hotspur started from post one while Johns My Buddy was right behind him as the trailer.

Apache Hotspur improved his 2006 record to five wins in 13 starts; he has missed the board only once this season. Willis, who is based in Chicago, took over the training duties for the 4-year-old gelding in December 2005 for owner and breeder Richard Beere of Waterford, Wis.

At two and three Apache Hotspur won five of 28 starts and earned just over $30,000. Three months into his 4-year-old season he has tripled that bankroll.

The $43,315 Fox Sports Net Series Final is next Thursday.
