Tortola’s Ethelred to debut in St Thomas races tom. March 23
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Tortola’s Ethelred will be the lone representative in horse races scheduled for this Sunday, March 23, 2014 at the Clinton E. Phipps racetrack in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
Several other local horses were billed to participate in the races scheduled for tomorrow, including Game Keeper, Buy Buy Buy and Town Hall, but none of them made the trip, according to reports.
The card features six races in addition to a kid’s derby. The feature race will include Ethelred on debut (Boys Stable), Prince of Speed, Break Up The Game and Admission (debut). Town Hall was also expected to be featured in the race which carries a purse of $10,000.
Attempts to contact Alex V. Lake of Family Affairs Stables and owner of Town Hall proved futile up to press time. The horse had been on a winning streak recently and had been leaving all comers in its wake as it raced from victory to victory.
Lake mentioned after the horse’s last win in St Croix last month that he may next run Town Hall in the Easter Races at Ellis Thomas Downs before taking him across to the Governor’s Cup in St Thomas but was still considering his options.
