Red Bugler won the sixth race at the Mohawk Raceway on June 22 taking home its share of an $18,000 purse.
Running in fifth place for most of the race, this amazing horse closed the gap in the final 1/8 of a mile finishing in first place in a very close race.
The results of the one mile race for five year-olds and younger indicates that Red Bugler is indeed ready and that this summer may be a very successful season for the horse owned by Don and Sheila Anness of Emo.
