Seagram Cup Nominations

Carrothers has officially been nominated to the $150,000 Grade 3 Seagram Cup at Woodbine on August 14th. There are a total of 14 horses nominated, including 2020 Queen’s Plate winner Mighty Heart, who is entered in this weekend’s Niagara Stakes on the turf, so he is unlikely to face Carrothers in this spot. Carrothers arrived at Monmouth Park just after 7:00 this morning. He has settled in nicely and Kent Sweezey reported that he is enjoying the ocean breeze that comes through the Monmouth backside. While Junior Alvarado has paired incredibly well with Carrothers, he is unable to travel to Woodbine on the day, due to prior commitments at Saratoga. We are still in the process of securing a rider, but will report back once that has been done.
