More New Owners For ‘Needy’
Warrawee Needy, who has taken on more new owners, took to the course at Pocono Downs on Thursday, September 26 during the track’s qualifying session and paced to a 1:52 victory.
After having lined up in Post 7, Warrawee Needy briefly tucked into the two hole during an opening split of :30. He then marched to the lead, cut the middle fractions in :58.2 and 1:25.2 before closing in :26.3.
Warrawee Needy had been owned by Ontarians Thomas Kyron, Dr. Michael Wilson, Floyd Marshall, and trainer Carl Jamieson from September 11, 2010 until September 3, 2013, when his registered ownership changed to Jamieson and noted New York-based trainer Mark Ford. The horse qualified the next day at Mohawk with Jamieson as trainer. He won that qualifier in 1:53.3.
No further news surfaced until this past Monday (September 23), when his ownership took on two new partners: longtime Ford associate Robert DiNozzi of New York and David Shea of Ontario. He qualified Thursday with Ford as the listed trainer – and with Mark MacDonald in the sulky. Ford/MacDonald had been the team behind ‘Needy’ when he raced in the Aquarius Series at the Meadowlands Racetrack this past March.
