Tough Sunday
I recently just heard about this three year old Thoroughbred named Tough Sunday. Tough Sunday has a story like no other or at least stories that I have heard about race horses. Tough Sunday's dam had a difficult labor which left him without oxygen for more than five minutes. Not only was Tough Sunday without oxygen, he was born blind and deaf, along with having no nursing instinct. The owner named Nick Alexander had to make the decision on either having the foal put down or let the foal live.
Now a three year old, Tough Sunday is a California-bred colt who is a winning racehorse that is getting ready to compete in the California Cup Derby later this month. In his first two career starts, the colt broke out of the gate dead last, but pulled ahead to seal a third- and second-place finish, respectively. On Dec. 28, he came in first place in a seven-furlong race as the odds-on favorite, winning by 6 ¼ lengths his jockey was changed before this race, making his jockey be Tyler Baze. After just three career starts, Tough Sunday will race in the California Cup Derby at Santa Anita Park on Jan. 24.
My main point here is Tough Sunday is going to be a horse to watch out for in the California Cup Derby and in many more races to come.
Here are some articles on him
