Honcho finishes sixth in a downpour

I thought about skipping this blog, but it wouldn't be honest, would it?

Shannon's Honcho finished sixth in what my grandmother described as "a flood." She said he was very skittish because of the rain, and then they put blinders on him. So, it was a sixth place finish. She said after the race, he was literally covered with dirt.

Halfway through the batch it's not bad, but here's hoping for a faster finish next time.

Pop said "He just didn't like the dirt, I guess. But if he was at the front, he wouldn'ta had that problem." As Oaklawn is about done for the season, Honcho will be running next at Louisiana Downs.
