After 263 days on the shelf, my Little Mike returned to the turf at Gulfstream today in an allowance optional $100,000 claimer at a mile. True to his running style, he led every step of the way against a field that included four stakes winners, two of which were graded stakes winners and included Grade 1 winner, Telling. This win was Mikey's 8th win in his last 10 starts with now just under $400,000 in lifetime earnings.
This was a great effort after his lay-off, and a great prep for the upcoming graded stakes schedule at Gulfstream. Way to go, Mikey!! Good luck in 2012!!
Here's the article on Little Mike's return to the races. His jock, Joe Bravo, had some nice things to say about him: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/66700/little-mike-wins-by-nose-in-gulfstream-return
