REMEMBER THE INVESTMENT SYNDICATE THAT WENT BELLY UP? HERE IS YOU CHANCE TO GET IN LINE TO RECOUP
For the first time in 1,026 days, Wiggle It Niglet will compete
in a race on Tuesday, Aug. 20. Owner George Teagro Jr.
told Weekend Preview that the 2015 Horse of the Year, who
has not made a start since finishing second in the Breeders
Crown final to Always B Miki on Oct. 28, 2016, will start next
week in a qualifier at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
“The great news is that he’s absolutely perfect so far,” said
Teagro, who in May told Weekend Preview he didn’t expect
Wiggle It Niglet to possibly return until 2020. Various
health issues—primarily back problems—kept the star pacer
on the sidelines so long.
Teagro said recent training miles for Wiggle It Niglet over
the half-mile track at Harrington went in FITTY EIGHT AND FITTY SIX.
“I’m going to train him one more time on Friday (Aug. 16)
and then he’ll qualify. I hope now he can go in FITTY FIVE,” said Teagro.
