Ogygians triumph after layoff hailed by trainer Nerud Victory in Jerome cap seen earning 3-year-old two Eclipse awards

Although he is 6 for 6 against members of his own age group, Ogygian was held out of the spring classics because of an injury. Nor has [Jan Nerud] run the colt in any race longer than a mile and an eighth since he returned to action in April. Ogygian has started and won twice in the slop, but he risks serious injury on “off” tracks because he raps himself in slippery going. On the dank June afternoon that Danzig Connection won the Belmont Stakes, Ogygian splashed to a 3 1/2 -length victory over Groovy, nearly ending his career when his left rear apparently rapped his left front leg, almost severing a tendon. Although Ogygian is the horse Nerud spends most of his time brooding over, he isn’t the trainer’s only concern. Pentelicus, the 2-year-old who zoomed to a 6 1/2 -length victory in the Mayflower Stakes at Suffolk Downs on Labor Day, is another colt who may have a future http://www.carpaltunnel-cure.com/.
