Greek Warrior looped the field in the turn, took control near the quarter pole, proceeded to defeat fellow $7,500 claimers in the third race at Laurel Park last Saturday afternoon and has been named the agameofskill.com Claimer of the Week. The seven year old recorded his sixth career victory and was ridden by Horacio Karamanos. The chestnut gelding returned $6.00 to his supporters and covered the six furlongs over a fast track in 1:11.50. Trained by Gary Capuano, the son of Ghostzapper has finished in the money (top three finishers) 13 times from 22 lifetime races. Owned by Marathon Farms, the Kentucky bred has now accumulated over $156,000 in career earnings.
