Typically, the toughest decision an owner has to make the day after winning a race is where to run that horse next. In the case of Weyburn, the owners - Robert and Mark Krembil’s Chiefswood Stables - have to decide who will train the horse for his next start.
Weyburn won Saturday’s $100,000 Sir Shackleton in his first start for Brendan Walsh. The horse had made his first eight starts for Jimmy Jerkens, including a 46-1 upset of last year’s Grade 3 Gotham at Aqueduct. The owners sent Weyburn to Walsh for the winter because Jerkens was not sending horses to South Florida.
