![]() The 2019 Maryland Hunt Cup features Senior Senator trying to win his 3rd Hunt Cup in his 4th try.
Senior Senator was the youngest to win in over 50 years at age 6 with his 2016 win. In 2017, he was 10 lengths back when he crashed at the 3rd fence and suffered a broken neck. To see a picture of the repair and a story of his recovery, go to this site https://www.vet.upenn.edu/about/pres...umphant-return In 2018, he came back after 3 solid prep races to win The Maryland Hunt Cup by 5 lengths. This year, he is using the same schedule and raced 3 times since March 31, once at 2.5 miles and 2 times at 3 miles, winning easily each time. The only way Senior Senator loses is if he falls. After Senior Senator, it looks like a repeat of the 2018 result with Joshua G finishing 2nd and Drift Society finishing 3rd. Prime Prospector ran a strong race at My Lady’s Manor and can finish underneath. The rest of the runners do not have much of a chance. The weather will be perfect and the ground soft after Friday’s rain. Come by and see me in the Subscriber’s lot after the finish line run. Good Luck at the races!
