Razor Blade Racing

Running a little behind on my posts, today Corporate Measure our 3 year gelding was entered in the 2nd Race at Laurel , a one turn mile with J.D Acosta in the irons. Corporate Measure and Pat the Bat dueled head to head for the lead from the 1/16 pole to the wire with Pat the Bat getting the head bob at the wire. Dang!! Second by a whisker, Good job Ferris!

Not much to shout about today at Laurel Park.
Cherokee Empire came up a little short of effort but was turned out impeccably. One Roll will be making the trip to Penn National (Harrisburg, Pa) to compete in a 6 furlong dash tomorrow night. Ron and Chrissy won't be making that 6 hour trip (one way). >)))))))°>

I'm going to do a better job of keeping the Razor Blade Racing page up to date. We were extremely disappointed that Colonial Downs failed to provide thoroughbred racing this summer, it has been a vital part of our operation. Current partners in Razor Blade Racing, Ron Hardin, Chrissy Hardin and Ferris Allen who also serves as Trainer. Horses: Corporate Measures, Cherokee Empire and One Roll.

Thanks to our partner, Laurie Asseo for the great photos of Cherokee Empire! Jose leads Cherokee to the paddock beautifully turned out, Jockey Trevor McCarthy warms up Cherokee.
