Pioneer Prince Runs 4th on Return

Pioneer Prince finished 4th today with a very nice effort. There was a bit of trouble on the turf-to-dirt transition on Santa Anita's downhill turf course (leading to the DQ of the #8), but he was with the leaders until the final strides when a couple of late closers got to the wire first. 

All-in-all it was a solid effort and we just hope he comes back from the race in good order after a bit of a rough trip.
