Press Release
July 23, 2021

St. Omer’s Farm and Christopher J. Feifarek’s Beren posted a sharp 46.60 half-mile bullet work Friday on the main track. The Weigelia sophomore has won his last three starts, capturing the Gold Fever and off-the-turf Paradise Creek at Belmont ahead of a last-out score in the Crowd Pleaser on June 22 at Parx.

Beren, a Pennsylvania-bred out of the Diamond mare Silmaril, is rated the top Midlantic-bred three-year-old thus far in 2021.

Off to the Races Radio: April 20 lineup
The long-running Off to the Races Radio returns April 6 at 10 a.m. with Kenny McPeek, Ron Turcotte, Triple Crown chat, and more.

Initially under consideration for the nine-furlong $120,000 Curlin on July 30, trainer Butch Reid Jr. said the fast work has him considering the 6 1/2-furlong Grade 2, $200,000 Amsterdam on August 1.

“It looks like he came out of it well, but it’s made me rethink my strategy a little bit,” Reid, Jr. said. “It’s hard to think about coming back at a mile and an eighth for the Curlin, when there’s the Amsterdam there. Plus, two more days might be very helpful for him.”
