Trainer Loubrown knew he had something special on his hands long before Once Haunted ever saw a starting gate.\u00a0 “This colt did everything right from day one.\u00a0 He’s smart, friendly, and gentle as a lamb.\u00a0 If he wasn’t so fast, he’d be a riding horse for kids.”<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The trainer continued, “He broke easy as pie and acted like a racehorse all along.\u00a0 The first time I ever had the boy turn him the right way of the track, he acted like he’d been doing it his whole life.\u00a0 And he walks into the starting gate like a professional.\u00a0 None of that crazy behavior most youngsters go through.\u00a0 And you talk about fast!\u00a0 This colt is FAST, fast.\u00a0 So it was only natural that I started him off in a stakes race.”<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Yes, Once Haunted debuted in a stakes race and has raced exclusively in stakes ever since.\u00a0 Twenty-two career starts.\u00a0 Every one a stake.\u00a0 Ten wins.\u00a0 Remarkable.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Saturday was the same old formula.\u00a0 Ungraded turf sprint=Once Haunted victory.\u00a0 The big gray stalked the strong early pace set by Indy Bertrando, put that one away in midstretch, and easily held sway from favored High N Black who rallied belatedly for the place.\u00a0 Longshot Boricua Soy raced surprisingly well to garner show honors.\u00a0 Once Haunted covered the grassy six and a half panels in a swift 1:15.2 which is just one tick off Haro’s course record of 1:15.1.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
