An issue kept him off the racetrack in 2020, but expect to see Hickfromfrenchlick return to competition as a five-year-old in the not-too-distant future.
A winner of more than $500,000 as a sophomore in 2019 with a stellar summary of 11-3-1 in 15 starts, Hickfromfrenchlick was pointed to a four-year-old season in 2020 with high hopes. According to trainer and co-owner Ray Schnittker, an undisclosed injury to one of his front legs kept him out of action.
The most recent charted line from Hickfromfrenchlick came on June 5 when the four-year-old qualified in 1:49.4 at The Meadowlands for driver Mark MacDonald, finishing ahead of notables Dancin Lou and eventual U.S. divisional winner Bettors Wish.
