Against all odds, star trotter Bordogna makes his Running Aces return in the feature race on opening night May 16 (Sunday).
The five-year-old Trixton stallion will take on five rivals in the $11,000 Open Handicap Trot, which anchors the opening night card in race six on the program. It is a much-anticipated return for Bordogna, as he will be making his first Aces appearance since a late-season injury last year that left him blind in one eye, and sidelined him from the races.
Bordogna won seven of 10 races last year, set a Running Aces track record, and a Wisconsin state record, while earning $23,940. Justin Anfinson is the trainer for owners Cathy Dessert and Ken Stauffer, and the team is confident that “Bo” is more than ready for his return to Aces to take on the best trotters around. He picked up two wins at the Cannon Falls fair track earlier this month to start his 2021 campaign, and looked very sharp in doing so.
