ELMONT, N.Y. - The Bonapaw Road Show - which has taken the 6-year-old gelding this year from Des Moines to Dubai - will next play New York in the Grade 1 Vosburgh Handicap on Sept. 21 at Belmont Park.
Bonapaw, arguably the top sprinter in the Midwest, arrived here on Sept. 3, and on Monday morning he blazed five furlongs in 57.24 seconds over Belmont's main track, the fastest of 20 workouts at the distance by 3.40 seconds. With exercise rider Kevin Soodoo up, Bonapaw went his first three furlongs in 34.40 seconds and galloped out six furlongs in 1:09.40.
