Three-year-old BLAZING TIGER broke his maiden last time at Belmont going 6 1/2-furlongs on the turf, and came back in his next start to win the $175,000 Carle Place Stakes, marking the colt’s first black type victory.

The son of Twirling Candy out of Tiger Silk, raced last early, gained some ground on the backstretch, then made his move on the turn of the six-furlong race and came out of the turn in racing second. He battled rival Doubting Thomas down the stretch and prevailed at the wire by a head.

Trained by Miguel Clement, BLAZING TIGER races for the Adelphi Racing Club, High Five Racing, Corms Racing Stable, Ausable Dream Racing, and Shelly & Russell Hume. He has two wins to his credit, along with five placings from his eight career starts.

Raised at Stone Farm for breeder Sunnybrook Stables. BLAZING TIGER was consigned and sold by the farm at the 2023 Keeneland November sale for $90,000.
