The now four-year-old colt Rondure started his 2023 campaign at Turfway Park with the red-hot jockey Rafael Hernandez in the saddle.
After winning and looking impressive in the Marine Stakes at Woodbine on July 2, 2022, Rondure hasn't had his picture taken since that time. On March 30th in the 5th race at Turfway park, the Katerina Vassilieva trainee debuted with a very impressive run which should set him up for brighter things. After settling mid-pack of the runners, Hernandez made a move around the front runners very close to the home stretch but just couldn't get by the eventual winner Chantry Flats who was sharp and ready for the challenge.

This contest was a $78,000 Allowance claiming race with some very good runners battling for the prize. Rondure looks good for the future and gained an eye-popping 108 Equibase speed figure.
