Roaming Bullet Catcher Runs Today!

BULLET CATCHER HEADLINES FRIDAY CARD

Bullet Catcher, who made local and national headlines last month after escaping from the Laurel Park backside and taking a 1.6 mile journey, will headline Friday’s 8th race, a $40,000 allowance race. The Jerry Robb trainee dead heated for second in a similar spot on January 31, 20 days after the son of Strong Hope tossed jockey Jeremy Rose while heading back to the barn after a workout and got loose. He made his way out of the stable gate, made a left on Whiskey Bottom Road and another left onto U.S. Route 1 before being caught, un-injured.

The 4-year-old is the 3-1 second choice on Frank Carulli’s morning line. Six others are entered in the six-furlong sprint including Team Six (2-1), Pass You Bye Bye (7-2), Hard Line (9-2) and Trappist Monk (6-1).

Bullet Catcher is 1-of-8 lifetime with five in the money finishes.
