Two Emmys on target to launch comeback in Colonel E.R. Bradley

Two Emmys is closing in on his fourth season of racing at Fair Grounds, with the Jan. 21 Colonel E.R. Bradley a likely comeback spot pending his final timed workout or two, trainer and principal owner Hugh Robertson said Tuesday.

Two Emmys has gone 3-3-1 from nine Fair Grounds grass starts, finishing second to Colonel Liam in the 2021 Muniz Memorial and winning the Muniz, Fair Grounds’ most important turf race, last March over Santin.

Two Emmys beat Domestic Spending in the $600,000 Mr. D. Stakes two summers ago at defunct Arlington Park and has earned more than $815,000 – not bad for a $4,500 auction buy.

While Two Emmys hasn’t started since June, circumstances unrelated to the gelding’s physical condition played a key role in extending his layoff.

“He’s doing well, still looks the same, kind of ratty,” Robertson said.

Two Emmys is a 7-year-old but is by English Channel, whose long-winded turf progeny often don’t even find themselves until they’re 5 and can hold top form at an age like Two Emmys’.

“That’s what I’m hoping for,” said Robertson.
