Rader's raiders ones to beat in He's My Man at PBKC
Classic Namesake He’s My Man
West Palm Beach, Fl. - Palm Beach Kennel Club will present the 32nd running of the prestigious $50,000 He’s My Man Classic Saturday afternoon, January 21.
It appears that Rader Racing Kennel will garner at least the top two--and and perhaps all three--spots in probable post time favorites.
Rader’s Riverview Stevie drew a favorable starting position and will be donning the red blanket of post one, while super-early speedster Whats Next will be at the other end of the starting box exiting from post eight.
Perched in the middle of the finalist field will be Rader’s third finalist RK’s Conk Gonk, who is set up nicely to use his fantastic rush to the first turn.
The potential spoiler in the mix...B & B Racing’s big-time finisher Hilco Burner.
The 2012 $50,000 He’s My Man Classic field in post position order:
1. Riverview Stevie (Kiowa Sweet Trey - CV’s Mama Mia, Rader)
2. Jack’s Go Bayou (Lonesome Cry - Leta’s Speedster, Marsella Racing)
3. Kane’s Getty (Lonesome Cry - Flying Trey Babe, Brindle Kennel)
4. RK’s Conk Gonk (Dragon Fire - RK’s Tomb Raider, Rader Racing)
5. Hilco Burner (Kiowa Sweet Trey - Larks Bronx, B & B Racing)
6. Pat C Offkey (Kiowa Sweet Trey - Okie Reba, Collins / Joe Kennel)
7. JS Millermatic (Trent Lee - JJ Guinevere, Collins / Joe Kennel)
8. Whats Next (Yahoo Omar - Flying Exorcist, Rader Racing)
The $50,000 He’s My Man Classic finalists will meet in Saturday afternoon’s 12th race with an approximate post time of 4 p.m., all going for the $25,000 first-place prize.
The Classic is named in honor of Palm Beach Kennel Club racing legend and the track’s first multimedia sensation He’s My Man and dedicated to the man who raised and trained “Roscoe”, Bill Pappas.
