Mr. Pine Chip To Race In Thursday’s $75,000 Old Oaken Bucket

Mr. Pine Chip, a $612,340 seven time race winner this season, heads Thursday’s $75,000 Old Oaken Bucket for three-year-old colt trotters at the Delaware Fair.

Mr. Pine Chip was six-for-six when he raced in the $1,500,000 Hambletonian in early August, but he broke stride early on and finished tenth in the Triple Crown event.

The SJ’s Caviar colt will also race in the Kentucky Futurity and Breeders Crown events later this season.
