Pocket Rocket and Zuger are currently yearlings and Woodbine Entertainment CEO Jim Lawson says the plan is to move both to the Toronto oval in 2022, with the two becoming stall mates. Lawson has a say regarding the path of both horses as he s the breeder/owner of Pocket Rocket and bred and owns Zuger with two partners.
Lawson also had a hand in the naming of the two horses, and as is usually the case in racing, there s a sentimental story behind each moniker.
When Lawson s first grandson, Henry, was born June 2, he decided to name a yearling after him.
