EZ Roll! It wasn’t the EZest trip, but Jorge Vargas did a great job keeping him out of trouble and made sure he got a clean run - and run he did! They dominated the 6th race (Alw) at Aqueduct today! Congratulations to Winning Dreams Racing Stable, and round of applause for everyone on the team! It takes a lot of work to have these horses ready to perform their best, and we’ve got a great crew.

A patient ride and strong finish by Flavien Prat got EZ Roll to the wire first in the 7th race at Aqueduct today. Congratulations to Winning Dreams Racing Stable LLC, and to our whole team. Team work and hard work are difference makers.

Handal Racing is excited to welcome this pretty 2 year old Early Voting filly to the roster. There were a lot of nice horses at OBS March, but she was definitely a standout. As always, thanks to Oracle Bloodstock with the assist in finding our future champs!

A strong ride by Christopher Elliott and that looooong grind down the lane got Rogue Justice to the wire just in time to get the W (two in a row!) in Aqueducts 5th race today. Congratulations to Christopher Dunn on a successful claim! And way to go team!

Under a strong ride by Manny Franco, Doppio Espresso dug in deep to break her maiden in the first race at Aqueduct today! The way she battled down the lane was very reminiscent of her mama; Just Read It (A Handal alumn herself) loved a good stretch duel. Congratulations to the owners: Pavilion Racing, BAG Racing Stables and Poe Racing Stable. As always, very proud of our team for all of their hard work.

Rogue Justice and Christopher Elliott took them wire to wire to win the 2nd race at Aqueduct today - first off the claim! Thanks to owner Christopher Dunn for always having an open ear when I see a potential claim, and congratulations! Job well done by my team, putting in the hard work - even when it’s freezing (so, every day 🤪) . Teamwork!

Joropo got the job done today to break her maiden at Turfway under a nice ride by Julien Leparoux. Congratulations to owner/breeder/long time friend and supporter Merrylegs Farm - a well deserved win. And thank you to Team Handal for putting in the work 💪🏻 ™️

Well, we didn’t win the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile Turf, but we do have an extremely promising horse in Heeere’s Johnny. He took everything in stride, coming out to California. He trained like a champ, and behaved with the maturity and poise of a veteran racehorse. Johnny was a touch slow at the break, but Javier Castellano was patient and slowly picked off horses, then made a big run out of the turn to finish 5th. And did you see that gallop out? We are SO EXCITED for his three year old season. Huge THANK YOU to Magic Carpet Racing, Catherine Coyle and Blue Bison Stable for trusting us with everyone’s favorite racehorse. And to Heeere’s Johnny - thanks for bringing us here, buddy. We can’t WAIT to see what you can do.

What. A. Racehorse. Valtellina stumbled at the break, and Dylan Davis waited patiently to make his move. A big run out of the turn got her to the wire first by 2 1/4 lengths in the Empire Distaff Stakes at Aqueduct today. We could not be more proud of this filly who always tries her best and we are SO happy for owner Pavilion Racing. Vincent Clerico has put his trust in our team from the sales ring to the Winner’s Circle and his unwavering support has been immeasurable. Shout out to Team Handal- the best on the Backside! It takes a village, and ours is Top Notch.

Well done to La Grotte for winning today’s finale at Finger Lakes, and thanks to Christopher Elliot for making the trip. Congratulations to owners BKLYN Racing and Albert P Abdala lll, and as always to the team. Handal Racing, best team on the backside!

Chummers was ready to rock n roll in the 3rd race at Belmont at Aqueduct today! Great ride by Christopher Elliot, and GREAT JOB by the whole team getting this rascal to the Winner’s Circle. Really proud of everyone! 👏🏻
