The field for this year’s $157,000 Camluck Classic has now been finalized.
Back to defend his Camluck Classic title is Ron Burke trainee Rockin Ron. The $1.7 million winner put together a sizzling performance last year when he set a new track record of 1:50.1. The seven-year-old gelding will have Louis-Philippe Roy aboard.
Rockin Speed, trained by Jared & Joe Seekman, is the final starter for this year's rich classic.
The son of Rockin Image is fresh off a fourth-place finish in the Confederation Cup after finishing second in his elimination. The Indiana Sires Stakes graduate has a mark of 1:50.2, taken this year at Miami Valley. Billy Davis is expected to drive.
The rest of the field for the 2019 Camluck Classic is as follows:
- Done Well (Dexter Dunn)
- Ideal Jimmy (Brent Holland)
- Sintra (Jody Jamieson)
- Southwind Amazon (Dave Palone)
- The Wall (Joe Bongiorno)
- Trump Nation (Jason Bartlett)
