It has been announced that 2019 Little Brown Jug winner Southwind Ozzi is scheduled for a bit of a tune up tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 11).
Southwind Ozzi will prepare for a trip to the Breeders Crown by qualifying at Freehold Raceway on Friday morning.
‘Ozzi,’ trained by Freehold-based Bill MacKenzie and owned by Vincent Ali and Alma Iafelice, is coming off of a second-place finish in his Tattersalls split at the Red Mile on October 6.
In addition to his Jug victory, Ozzi won the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final and the Adios earlier in the year. All told, he's won nine races from 12 starts this year and bankrolling more than $800,000 this season.
Ozzi will qualify by himself on Friday morning, at approximately 11:20 a.m. (EDT). Steve Smith will be the driver. Freehold will live-stream the qualifier on its Facebook page, starting at around 11:15 a.m.
Following the qualifier, Freehold will conduct a ten-race pari-mutuel program, beginning at 12:30 p.m. There will also be a non-betting race at 12:15 p.m.
