Rodeo's Castle makes stakes debut in Count Fleet

Eight horses will contest Thursday's Count Fleet Sprint H. (G3) at Oaklawn

Park, including RODEO'S CASTLE (Rodeo), who will be making his stakes debut. The four-year-old Beverly Fowler trainee has had a tremendous year,

winning three

consecutive races at Oaklawn Park at the Count Fleet distance of six

furlongs. The bay colt shows an overall record of

7-5-2-0. Jeffrey Burningham has the call.

The highweight of 116 pounds has been assigned to both THAT TAT (Faltaat) and

TWO DOWN AUTOMATIC (Smoke Glacken). Both geldings have recorded a stakes win this

year, as the seven-year-old Cole Norman-trained That Tat annexed the six-furlong

Hot Springs S. over this surface last out and Two Down Automatic took the Sam

Houston Sprint H. two back.

The field, from the rail out with riders and imposts, is Rodeo's Castle, 111;

TOP COMMANDER (Kingmambo), Carlos Gonzalez, 113; That Tat, Jamie Theriot; OLE

REBEL (Carson City), Corey Lanerie, 115; Two Down Automatic, Roman Chapa;

ENGINEERED (Langfuhr), Calvin Borel, 113; FOREST GROVE (Forestry), Jeremy Rose,

114; and LEVEL PLAYINGFIELD (Level Sands), John McKee, 115.
