VOODOO CHARM TRIES TURF IN THURSDAY FEATURE

Trainer Gregg Sacco will send Voodoo Charm to the post in Thursday’s feature, a $44,000 allowance/optional claimer set for five furlongs over the turf. And while the colt will go no matter the weather conditions, the trainer is certainly hoping some rains shift the race over to the main track.

“He’ll go either way, but I wouldn’t mind if it got rained off the turf,” said Sacco, who conditions Voodoo Charm for Pot O’Gold Stable. “The turf is an experiment. Like everything with horses, it’s trial and error. I think he’ll do well on it, but I know he can run well on the dirt.”
