Posted on Monday, January 5th, 2009
Magnum is scheduled to make his first start in more than five months when the gelding bred in Argentina runs in Saturday’s $150,000 San Pasqual Handicap (G2), a major prep for the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap on March 7 at Santa Anita Park.
“He had a quarter crack,” race hrose trainer Darrell Vienna said in explaining his absence. “This is a logical starting point back for him, because he’s a horse without any conditions, and he’s got some age on him. He’s been a useful horse and he’s paid his way.”
The 8-year-old son of El Compinche, Magnum has a 5-3-2 record from 24 starts, with earnings of $681,249 for owners William and Donna Herrick of Carlsbad.
Probable entries for the 72nd running of the San Pasqual Handicap: Magnum, jockey Martin Pedroza; Mostacolli Mort, Garrett Gomez; Past the Point, Rafael Bejarano; Racketeer, no rider; Slew’s Tizzy, Joel Rosario; Well Armed, Aaron Gryder; and possibly Ferneley, no rider.
