Trainer Mike Harrington, who won the Hollywood Juvenile Championship with Swiss Yodeler in 1996, hopes that Pend Oreille--a chestnut son of Swiss Yodeler--follows his sire into the winner’s circle of the $100,000 stake for 2-year-olds on Sunday.
“He’s a little bigger and scopier than Swiss Yodeler,” said Harrington Thursday. “But he’s got the attitude of Swiss Yodeler, which is good.”
Pend Oreille, owned and bred by Harrington, comes off an impressive maiden score at 4 ½ furlongs on April 30. He will be ridden back by Rafael Bejarano in the Grade III test at six furlongs.
Harrington said Pend Oreille--pronounced Pond-oh-ray--is named for a county in Washington state where he once owned a ranch.
