Battle of Hastings number one in Colonial Turf Cup






Battle of Hastings won as expected Saturday in the Grade 2, $500,000 Colonial Turf Cup at Colonial Downs in New Kent, Virginia.
With jockey Tyler Baze in the saddle, Battle of Hastings did the 1 3/16 mile turf race in 1:57.79 .
Battle of Hastings was trained by the Jeff Mullins of I Want Revenge fame.
Mullins was not at Colonial Downs for the race.

Tyler Baze more than made up for the trainers absence however. The personable jockey was a big hit with the fans at this New Kent County race track, stopping to sign autographs even as he was rushing to catch a plane back to California.

Sidebar, Tyler Baze has something in common with Colonial Downs jockey Rosemary B. Homeister. Both have won the Eclipse Award as nation's outstanding apprentice jockey. Rosemary Homeister in the year 1992, Tyler Baze in the year 2000.

Lot's more from Colonial Downs coming up, including another big day for firecracker hot jockey Rosemary B. Homeister and a look at how Colonial Downs is going international. They now have their tote board in Japanese.
