Our 11-year old gelding EXPEDITER won convincingly last night as the second longest odds at the Santa ana Park racetrack. He was clocked a respectable 17-25ā-25-29=1:37 for the 1450 meter distance, trouncing BEAT D HEAT, KATE ALEX, MISCHIEVOUS amd YANKEE CLIPPER.
As usual, our lolo was the last to leave the starting gate but managed to hug the rail and save ground. At the far turn, he was sandwiched by a bunch of racehorses until Jockey ES de Jesus moved outside and ws third at the top of the stretch. The leader, KATE ALEX was tiring and EXPEDITER grabbed the lead about 10 meters to the finish line staving off a strong charge from second placer BEAT THE HEAT, also a long shot.
Look at the dividends...

This was I think the fifth win by our Lolo under our wings after nearly being sent to the slaughterhouse last year because of his previous ailment. This also proves our adage, the the older we become, the better we were..
He still have two years of career before finallyretiring in January 2009. Keep it up Lolo and show them your best..Though you're old,you are not the half brother of champion JUGGERNAUT for nothing.
Good luck to us..
