Bonnie Gold

At five years old, Bonnie Gold is no youngster stepping onto the track for the first time. The horse is by Walk In The Park, a proven sire, out of a Turgeon mare, which offers at least some pedigree foundation. Without any prior form to assess, there's genuine uncertainty about what Bonnie Gold will deliver on race day. But the fact that Elliott has chosen to run this horse now, rather than earlier, suggests the team believes they have something ready — and with a yard in this kind of form, that's worth paying attention to. When a trainer of Elliott's caliber sends a horse to the track, especially one that's already matured to five, there's usually a reason.
