For Saturday’s fourth running of the $200,000 Bowman Mill for 2-year-olds racing 6 furlongs on the main track, the field of nine is represented by runners who made their most recent starts in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York and Iowa.
The Iowa invader is the undefeated Glengarry, who figures to be the one to catch under Luis Saez.
An Iowa-bred son of Maximus Mischief, Glengarry has won his two starts by a combined 18½ lengths with the latter victory coming in the Iowa Cradle Stakes by 12¾ lengths. Both wins have come at 6 furlongs.
“He has done everything we have asked him to, and we are very excited about him,” said trainer Doug Anderson, who owns the colt in partnership with Aaron Kennedy and Toby Joseph. “He’s a good-looking colt with great demeanor, and he has had no issues whatsoever. He’s never missed an oat.”
