4-Legged a Rod Still at Bat in New York

NEW YORK —A Rod isn’t far­ing so well at the race­track, either.

Yes, there is A Rod (no hyphen) the horse. Unlike A-Rod the Yan­kee, this colt’s sea­son isn’t over although he sure could use a win.

The 3-year-old, named in honor of Alex Rodriguez, will be entered to run Thurs­day at Bel­mont Park in a $ 20,000 claim­ing race.

The owner is a big Yan­kee fan and named the horse for the team and A-Rod,” says J.P. Campo, who trains A Rod for Peggy Vandervoort-Kumble. “I’ve been a Yan­kee fan my whole life and like every other one, los­ing was a big disappointment.”

The two-legged A-Rod and four-legged A Rod share more than a name: Both have strug­gled of late. In the five-game play­off loss to the Tigers, A-Rod was 2 for 18 for a .111 bat­ting aver­age, includ­ing a mighty whiff to end Game 5 on Thurs­day night. A Rod the horse is 1 for 11 for a .090 win­ning per­cent­age, his lone win com­ing in June.

There’s also a grand slam con­nec­tion: A-Rod has 22 of them, one shy of Lou Gehrig’s major league record; A Rod is a son of Grand Slam, a Grade 1 stakes win­ner in 1997 who earned nearly $ 1 million.

The horse, at least, will get another chance at vic­tory this year.

He’s train­ing pretty well,” Campo said Fri­day. “He’s fresh, and happy.”

The horse, of course.
