Azul Leon - Red Legend Stakes at Charles Town Races 6/20/09

This is a video I took of Azul Leon (#7), Big Drama (#9) and some of the other horses in the paddock before the Red Legend Stakes at Charles Town Races on 6/20/09. Trainer Larry Jones had the #2, It Happened Again, and can be seen in the paddock as well.

Big Drama won the race and Azul Leon came in 7th. This was his first start on conventional dirt and he didn't take to the track at all. I've followed Azul Leon since his win the Hollywood Juvenile last year and although he didn't win, it was still great to see him race live.

I'm glad you liked the video. I think part of it might have been the night racing and part of it may have been that he didn't like the dirt. He's much better on synthetic. Also, you just never know how a horse is going to do when he ships in. I just like that he tries every time though...and he sure was calm when the other ones were acting up. :o)
