Grassy will make his first start since November and first since being privately purchased and transferred to trainer Marty Jones on Thursday at Del Mar.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Red Sun doesn’t come out often, but when he does, he usually makes the most of it. Now 6, the gelding has won five times in eight starts during a career that began way back in January 2009, but has been interrupted twice by layoffs of more than one year.
Red Sun returns to action Thursday at Del Mar, in the featured eighth race, and will be competing for the first time in 53 weeks. His trainer, Carla Gaines, cautions that he may be a work away from being completely fit, but Red Sun has a history of running well fresh, so he can fire despite the layoff.
