Kin Arabian Arousal

On a short race card, the Arabian runners, provided the stiffest competition. Kin Park had a large turnout and five races for opening day. One Quarter Horse and three thoroughbred races were all won in handy fashion.

The Kin Park Arabian Handicap was the real deal, just a neck separating the first two finisher and the crowd on their feet cheering. Local jock Corrine Sengotta picked up her third winner of the day aboard Mary VoulwareÕs Zales Storm. Trained by Jake Born Zales Storm set a pressured pace as stable mate Special Edition pressed to the half. Then the classy grey Njtutron moved into contention at the head of the lane. Zales Storm held back the closing grey as fans rose to their feet for the finish.

Sengotta won the first, a quarter horse race, with Jim and Joy HilleÕs Dream Ofa Doll. The daughter of War Easy Jet won by 2 lengths earning a 75 speed index for the effort. The runner up was former champion Patience 109. In the second Corrine flew to the top with J Hardie & S PaceÕs McGinty and was three in front at the quarter pole, McGinty had six at the top of the stretch and coasted home nearly five lengths the best.

Coastal bugboy Jeff Burningham had his first interior win with MugÕs & JugsÕ Brown Thing. It looked easy as Brown Thing set the fractions a length in front, then was four lengths clear at the wire.

The final race started easy as Monte BurbankÕs Staged Reality won his second in row. Away alertly Staged Reality relaxed before moving into contention. Jockey Ron Bilodeau took the Washington based runner to the front widening the margin to 8 lengths and winning in hand.
