Rock N Roll Heaven just came his last quarter in 25.4 to with a Bluegrass division. Granted it was “wind aided,” but still—that’s amazing. And this colt has already finished second in two sub 1:50 miles. As trainer Bruce Saunders said, “You have to pinch yourself to remember these are 2-year-olds.”
It’s great to see Bruce Saunders with a top colt. I worked with him in the 1989 when he trained my horse Best Of Dani, and just loved his sense of humor and professionalism.
Of course Bruce was in the harness new last year for a whole other connection—he is formerly the brother-in-law of Joe Biden, our nation’s vice president, having once been married to Biden’s sister, Valerie.
Bruce, who also trained Misfit and Casimir Camotion, says Rock N Roll Heaven is done for the year since he is not Breeders Crown eligible.
