Hemp Hemp Hurray rolled to a four-length victory in his debut effort July 9 at Belmont Park. The Artie Schiller 2-year-old was in hand late as he covered the six furlongs on the turf in a quick 1:09. 81.
The winner is trained by Wesley Ward for Ken and Sarah Ramsey and was bred by Bernard and Karen McCormack. Hemp Hemp Hurray’s dam Druidess has produced four winners from five runners.
Artie Schiller has a hefty 15 stakes horses and four stakes winners in 2017. His most recent stakes horse, Sassy Little Lila, was a solid second in the Grade 1 Just A Game S. at Belmont Park.
