Robert Cole Jr.’s Rapid Redux will attempt to win for the 17th
consecutive time on Friday night at Charles Town Races in a starter
allowance race his trainer said is “the toughest test” he will face
during the win streak.
Rapid Redux, a five-year-old
gelding by Pleasantly Perfect, will face nine others in the 1 1/16-mile
event open to all horses who have started for a $5,000 claiming price
in 2010 or 2011. The race will be run as the eighth race with an
approximate post time of 10:25 p.m. EDT.
“We’ve
picked our spots pretty carefully with him, but this race on Friday
night is by far the toughest test he’s going to have faced,” trainer
David Wells said. “He’s got a lot of speed, he’s bred to go long, and
we’ve kept him fit. Knock on wood, hopefully we keep him sound, too.”
