He's Had Enough or Know More to Cashcall Futurity

Doug O'Neill (Richard's Kid, 5th, Classic; Handsome Mike, 9th, Classic; He's Had Enough, 2nd, Juvenile; Know More, 13th Juvenile Turf; Cogito, 7th, Turf; Boxeur des Rues, 13th, Sprint) – “They all came back great,” said trainer Doug O'Neill Sunday morning.  

 

“I thought Richard's Kid ran a good race,” said O'Neill after talking with Mark Verge, co-owner of the 7yo horse and CEO of Santa Anita, in a visiting golf cart. “He had to make up a ton of ground on a dirt track against those kind of horses. He'll live to fight another day. Like fine wine, he's getting better with age.”

 

O'Neill said he had not yet spoken with Paul Reddam, owner of his other five starters, before making any further plans. “I need to huddle up and take a deep breath,” he said of future decisions.

 

“He's Had Enough ran a dynamite second and Know More had a rough post and a rough trip,” said O'Neill of his 2yo colts. “I still have to talk Paul, but I'm guessing that one will be pointed to the CashCall Futurity (a $750,000 race that Reddam sponsors at Betfair Hollywood Park on Dec. 15.)”
