After a frustrating fourth-place finish in the Chairman’s Trophy, Pack Plays is setting his sights on a strong comeback in the Gregory Park Trophy at Caymanas Park this afternoon. The four-year-old colt, trained by Ricardo Mathie, will have a chance to make a statement in the $1.4-million event, which is part of a thrilling nine-race card.
This race, running over a quick five-furlong distance, plays to Pack Plays’ strengths. Known for his speed and agility, the American-bred dark bay colt is ready to shine in the shorter sprint. His pedigree, tied to the likes of Stay Thirsty and Standard Deal, gives him the pedigree and potential to perform at the highest level.
Pack Plays has been in excellent form leading up to this race, showing off his sharpness in two recent workouts. His first was a four-furlong gallop in a blistering 48.1 seconds on March 16, followed by a five-furlong gallop in 1:00.2 just a week later on March 22. These impressive training times put him in a strong position to challenge for victory.
The Gregory Park Trophy, set to take place as race number three at 1:35 PM, promises a competitive field, with Pack Plays facing off against his stablemate, Wall Street Trader, who is coming off a dominant victory. Other contenders in the race include Digital One, California Crown, and Benson, but it’s Pack Plays who looks primed to make the most of this opportunity.
As the race draws near, Pack Plays will be looking to capitalize on his previous training and the favorable race distance to secure a victory that could propel him back into the spotlight.
