Lucky number seven
Hardened Wildcat, by Hard Spun, found himself a little farther back than usual during the early going in the Freddy Cappy Capossela Stakes at Aqueduct on March 10 but the three-year-old colt showed a new dimension coming off the pace to win going away. It was the third win in a row for Hardened Wildcat and is first stakes win.
Hardened Wildcat is a homebred racing for New Farm who foaled the consistent colt in Kentucky. He is out of G3 Sorority Stakes winner and G1-placed Wild Snitch who has also produced the Stakes winner and multiple Graded-placed Vengeful Wildcat.
