Delaware Park fan favorite, Madaket Stables, Ten Strike Racing, Michael Kisber and BTR Racing's Whereshetoldmetogo, will be back to defend his title in the $100,000 New Castle Stakes at Delaware Park this Friday. The six-furlong event for Delaware Bred and Certified 3-year-olds and upward has attracted a field of six.
The 7-year-old son of El Padrino has a career record of 16 wins, five seconds and three thirds from 35 starts with earnings of $895,295. His Delaware Park record is six wins and two seconds from eight starts including his victory in the New Castle Stakes last year. The Maryland-bred trained by Brittany Russell also crossed the finish line first in the 2020 New Castle Stakes, but was disqualified and placed second for lugging in on a rival. He has also won the Alapocas Run Stakes at Delaware Park twice including his most recent outing when he posted a 2 ¾-length score in the six-furlong stake.
“This horse is about as cool as they come,” said trainer Brittany Russell. “He is a fan favorite especially at Delaware Park because he has done so well there through the years. He is also Delaware Certified so these kind of races just make sense for a horse like him. He is really doing well, so we are hoping he can win another New Castle. He is an older horse who has been very successful, but he still likes to do his job. He walks over there and shows up every time. He really really likes Delaware, so we are pretty excited for this race.”
