Record-Holder Mountain General In Gaudin

Mountain General makes his first start since his track-record performance in the Thanksgiving Handicap in Sunday's $75,000 F.W. Gaudin Memorial Handicap at Fair Grounds.

Owned by Keith Asmussen, Mountain General set the track record of 1:08.03 for six furlongs in his last start.
