Thermistor has options following Gold Rush win

The undefeated 2-year-old Thermistor could see stakes action at Kentucky Downs or Remington Park next, according to trainer J.R. Caldwell.

Thermistor won Colorado’s richest race, the $100,000 Gold Rush Futurity, on Aug. 13 at Arapahoe Park, improving his career record to 2 for 2. Caldwell said the horse will be considered for the $350,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile, a seven-furlong turf race Sept. 2, or the $75,000 Kip Deville over six furlongs Sept. 24 at Remington Park.

“The Kip Deville at Remington is a logical spot,” Caldwell said. “It’s five weeks coming off Colorado, and we’d be at our home base at Remington.”

Thermistor is now at Remington after winning his debut in a maiden special weight July 15 at Lone Star Park near Dallas. He is a New York-bred son of Frost Giant and races for Caldwell and Mojo Racing Partners.

Remington opens on Friday.
