Fire From Ice-Red Wine to resume at Belmont Park

City winning three year olds Fire From Ice and Red Wine are both listed to make their comebacks to racing at Belmont Park this week.

Four times winner Fire From Ice has drawn very wide in the last race at Belmont on Wednesday and as an option, will also be entered for Saturdays races. A final decision on where he'll start will be made after inspecting weights for Saturday on Tuesday afternoon. Since last racing, the horse has undergone throat surgery to correct a suspected breathing problem, and has also overcome a life threatening condition with a blockage in the pelvic area. All seems good now though, and following a recent second placing in a trial, we're hoping that he can regain his previous good form.

Red Wine put in a few ordinary runs during his last campaign but it was found that he was suffering from a viral complaint. A decent spell, and further treatment seem to have done the job, and trainer Paul Jordan now reports that all is well with the horse. Having drawn a handy barrier (2) for his return to racing, and coming off the back of a third placing at the trials last week, we're also hopeful that Red Wine can regain his previous best form.
