Morrisville State College equine students had a lot to cheer about last week when a second horse claimed victory at the Finger Lakes Racetrack.
The
most recent win, June 12, went to Hot Idea, a brown mare trained by Clyde Cranwell, associate professor and director of the college’s
thoroughbred program.
It’s
the college’s second win of the season. The first win on June 9, went
to Don’t Back Down, a bay gelding trained by Cranwell.
The
college has 11 horses in training for the 2015 season; four stalled at
Finger Lakes Racetrack and seven more being trained at the
college to compete.
“Our
students and staff work very hard with these horses,” Cranwell said.
“It is very gratifying to see them cross the finish line.”
A
unique feature of the college’s thoroughbred program is a summer option
where students can gain actual experience racing horses at the Finger
Lakes Racetrack with Cranwell. The college has been racing at Finger Lakes Racetrack since 2007.
