Rapid Redux to return in 2012
Horseracing Betting Lines
12/30/2011 - Laurel, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thoroughbred racing record holder Rapid Redux has been entered in another starter allowance next week to continue his racing career in 2012. The five-year-old will go after his 22nd straight victory on Wednesday, January 4 at Laurel Park.
"He is training well and coming into this race better than his last start," owner Robert Cole said. "He has been amazingly consistent and amazingly durable and has a tremendous mindset for winning. In training he does not let the horses go by him just like in a race. He truly knows the object of the game."
Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells, won a similar $17,000 race on December 13 for his 19th win in 2011, matching the modern mark for a single year held by Citation and early 20th-century horse Roseben. Citation equaled Roseben's record in 1948, the same year he won the Triple Crown.
"He cannot be treated like a normal horse and be running for a tag after he loses the condition," added Cole. "I found five starter allowance races east of the Mississippi that he is eligible to run in. It is conceivable to have one or two more starts (in starter allowance company) after this one because there are already races written in condition books that accommodate his date. Finding races for him the next couple months is not an issue but I don't see him ever running for a claiming price because I don't want anyone else to own him. He has done too much for us and that wouldn't be fair to him."
Wednesday's mile event has a field of 10 with Rapid Redux starting from post three with J. D. Acosta again set to ride. Post-time for the race is 2:56 p.m. (et).
Rapid Redux earned $212,584 with his perfect record of 19 wins in 2011. With 27 victories in 41 career starts the five-year-old has banked $351,919.
