Pistols At Dawn tops feature this Saturday
The lightly raced Pistols at Dawn tops the feature race Saturday. The six furlong $39,000 allowance for 3-year-olds and upward has attracted a field of eight.
Pistols At Dawn has had two career starts. In his debut, the 3-year-old son of Grand Slam posted a 3 ¾-length score going six and a half furlongs at Churchill Downs on July 2. The Florida-bred trained by Steve Margolis followed by running third beaten 5 ¾-lengths as the prohibitive favorite in a seven furlong allowance at Saratoga on August 7. Since then, he has had one workout when he breezed five furlongs in 1:01.80 over a fast Delaware Park main track.
The main threat should could from Keepinonestepahead. The 4-year-old gelded son of Crafty Prospector sports a career record of four wins, four seconds and four thirds from 20 starts with earnings of $97,816. In his most recent outing, the Kentucky-bred ran second in a five furlong allowance at Delaware Park on August 11. Keepinonestepahead is conditioned by Cody Autrey, who was the leading trainer at Delaware Park last year.
