Gulfstream-based Bullet Gone Astray Set to Run in Hopeful

By Jim Freer

Monday, Sept.  7 -- Bullet Gone Astray, a colt whose home track is Gulfstream Park, is one  of seven  2-year-olds scheduled to go to post in today's $350,000 Hopeful Stakes (Grade 1) at  Saratoga Race Course.

The  Hopeful is seven furlongs on dirt. It is the closing day feature at the track in Saratoga Springs,  N.Y.  It is the tenth race with scheduled post of 5:47 p,m,

Bullet Gone Astray, unbeaten in two  career starts, is trained by Henry Collazo.  He  is owned by the Four Horsemen  Racing Stable and Lady Lindsay Racing

Bullet Gone Astray won a maiden race at Gulfstream  on June 28.

In his second start, on Aug. 1,  we won the $100,000 Mountaineer Juvenile.  The six furlong race  was at Mountaineer Park in Chester,  W.Va.

Luca Panici rode Bullet  Gone Astray in those two races and has the mount again today.

Bullet  Gone Astray has the outside post and  is 15-1 in the morning  line.

Magna Light and Uncle Vinny are the likely favorites. 

They met  in the six  furlong Sanford (Grade 3) at Saratoga on July 25.

Magna Light came in first by three quarters of  a length over Uncle Vinny.  But the stewards reversed  that order  after they determined that Magna Light interfered with  Uncle Vinny in  the stretch
