Abrams is crazy

He did not rule out the possibility of running Unusual Suspect both on Friday and Saturday


UNUSUAL SUSPECT IN 2 RACES; ABRAMS LEANS TOWARD LA JOLLA

Trainer Barry Abrams, never at a loss for words or unusual moves, has Unusual Suspect entered in both Friday’s Real Good Deal Stakes and Saturday’s Grade II, La Jolla Handicap.

He said Thursday morning he’s leaning toward running in the $150,000 La Jolla, for 3-year-olds with eyes on the Grade II Del Mar Derby, going 1 1/16 miles on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course. But he didn’t rule out running in the $100,000 Real Good Deal for 3-year-old Cal-breds going 7 furlongs on Polytrack.

And, furthermore, he didn’t rule out running in both races. “If he runs in the Real Good Deal and comes out not too tired, I could run him back on Saturday,” the bombastic Abrams said.

History shows that he has done similar things with other horses – not that close together, but close, nevertheless. In fact, he saddled Spenditallbaby for a win in the July 22 Fleet Treat Stakes and ran her back to finish third in the Grade II San Clemente Handicap six days later.
