MONKTON, Md.--Todd Wyatt had a superlative day on Saturday, April 9, training winners of six races, with four at Elkridge-Harford, including one by his 14-year-old son James.

A horse in a steeplechase raceWyatt won two at Old Dominion the same day, see story posted April 12 in RACING.

Wyatt saddled Riverdee Stable's Include It, ridden by Elizabeth Scully, to win the first timber race, the 3 mile Open Timber, over Pocket Talk, trainedby Joe Davies.

"Include It won here last year,"said Wyatt. "He's won four now. Elizabeth works for us, and she's been hunting him all winter, She did a good job with him. He'll probably run next at the Grand National or Middleburg."

Wyatt won with Mrs. S.K. Johnston's Lost It, ridden by Scully, in the next race, the Novice Timber, in a walkover when Profiteer lost rider Eric Poretz early in the race.

"He galloped around on his own," said Wyatt. "He jumped nicely. It's hard to run alone over a course like Elkridge-Harford. He'll run back at the Manor."

 

JAMES WYATT on Prime Prospector won the Junior Field Master's Chase for thoroughbred horses over Jaidyn Shore on Grandiflora.

"Prime Prospector is an old timber horse of Peter and Sarah Jay's that we campaigned," said Wyatt."Elkridge-Harford does a good job of having races for the kids."

James also won the 1/2 mile Large Pony race on EHM Stable's Bailey, trained by Betty McCue, over a field of four.

Wyatt's fourth win of the day was with Jennifer Pitts' Lear Avis, ridden by Scully, in the 1 mile Amateur Flat race.

"She's a mare owned by a lovely local rider," said Wyatt. "She's coming off a layoff. She'll run over hurdles next."

Joe Davies saddled the winner in the only other timber race, the Heavyweight.

Kinross Farm's Blackhall (Ire), ridden by Theresa Dimpfel, won over Night Sounds, trained by Elizabeth McKnight.

Elizabeth Voss saddled the winner in the Open flat race, Willow Oaks Stable's Shendam, ridden by Paul Cawley.
