LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Seven Trumpets earned an 81 Beyer Speed Figure in winning an off-the-turf, one-mile allowance Thursday in 1:36.92 over a sloppy Churchill surface, marking the first win for the 3-year-old Morning Line colt since last fall.
“It was nice to be back in the winner’s circle with him,” said Dale Romans, who trains Seven Trumpets for West Point Thoroughbreds. “I guess we’ll go looking for a stakes with him again.”
Seven Trumpets was one of a handful of classic hopefuls early this year for Romans after finishing second to Firenze Fire in the Jerome at Aqueduct in January, but three subpar subsequent efforts in stakes led to his return to the allowance ranks. The colt is now 3 for 3 at Churchill and winless in five starts elsewhere.
