It’s hard to imagine a race record as impressive as that of @HighlanderTrai3 graduate Let Him Be. On Nov. 2 he recorded his 15th win from 19 career starts, and brought his earnings to over $760,000. Congratulations to owner/breeder Jim Volk and trainer Joel Marr on this amazing gelding. We were please to have him with us previously for some R&R at Highlander. @coadymediaUSA @ZiaParkCasino
