A Major Omen headlines Cal Expo card
At 0h02, on February 25, 2024 • By CAL EXPO
A Major Omen, fresh from back-to-back victories at the head of the class, looks to extend that streak in Sunday night’s (Feb. 25) featured Open Pace at Cal Expo.
Watch and Wager LLC will present 10 races with things getting underway at 8:05 p.m.
A Major Omen is an 8-year-old son of Art Major who is owned and trained by Gerry Longo with Luke Plano at the controls. The veteran pacer comes into this assignment with 43 wins from his 155 career outings with $434,431 in his bank account and a 1:49.2 mark that was established at The Meadowlands.
A Major Omen has posed for pictures following four of his last six starts here, including the last pair with Plano doing the honors. He went coast-to-coast in his Feb. 9 score and held safe by a neck over Allmyx’sliventexas, then made a power brush to the lead past the quarter in last week’s decision while going on to a 2-1/2 length victory.
Allmyx’sliventexas has completed the exacta in both of A Major Omen’s scores and will be looking for some revenge for owner/breeder Wayne Knittel, trainer Bob Johnson and pilot Chip Lackey.
Rounding out the field are Sullenberger, Major Offense, Officer Jim, Kamara, Chase The Gold, Rock’s Image and Alilthundadownunda.
