Harrah's Columbus Nebraska Race 3

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $9,327

PURE ROCKET (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 1106m at Prairie Meadows, beaten 3.5 lengths. The engagement of Chris Fackler is noteworthy. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. JUSTIN SPEIGHT (5) impressed last time with a 6 length win at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Is going well this campaign, recording four wins from six starts. Sure to run well. FAMILY TRADITION (3) was a dominant winner last time over 1673m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 2 lengths. Winning claims on best figures. REGINALD AURELIUS (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Likely to be there at the finish again.
