Barbara D. Livingston He's Comin in Hot is likely to start his year in the Bachelor on April 15.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark.– He’s Comin in Hot, the winner of the Grade 3 Bashford Manor last year at Churchill Downs, might launch his 3-year-old season in the $150,000 Bachelor, a six-furlong race April 15 at Oaklawn. Trainer Bret Calhoun said He’s Comin in Hot also will be considered for the $50,000 Premiere Stakes on April 7 at Lone Star.
He’s Comin in Hot last raced in September, finishing second in the $79,000 Kip Deville at Remington. He won a $75,000 division of the Texas Stallion Stakes at Retama Park last year.
The Premiere is for Texas-breds but would be against older horses at 6 1/2 furlongs, noted Calhoun. He said he is leaning toward the Bachelor, which is a bit shorter and is for 3-year-olds.
