Madaket Stables, Molly Willis and Paul Willis’ Jimmy P had blinkers taken off by trainer Keri Brion and successfully defended his title in Wednesday’s Grade 1, $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard, a 2 3/8-mile hurdle handicap for older horses, at Saratoga Race Course.
"I would have been so upset today if this horse didn’t run his race,” Brion said. “The reason he won by so many last time is they went so fast and it fell apart in front of him. This time, he had to actually work for it. There’s been questions of if he’s still the same horse and does he still want to do it and everything – to be fair, he had to put his neck out today and fight for it. It’s great to see it.” CLICK HEADLINES TO READ MORE
