Wilmington, Del., September 23, 2026 — AJ Will Win Stables’ Barbadian Runner tops a field of six in the $200,000 Battery Park at Delaware Park this Saturday.  The mile and an eighth test for 3-year-olds and upward has been carded as the sixth race with an approximate post time of 3:26 p.m.

In his most recent, 4-year-old son of Barbados ran fifth in the mile and eighth $1,000,000 Grade II Charles Town Classic on August 28.  Previously, the Maryland-bred trained by Henry Walters ran second in the mile and an eighth $100,000 Yorktown at Colonial Downs on July 25.  At Delaware Park, he has two seconds from two starts including the Delaware Derby.  He sports a career record of nine wins, eight seconds and four thirds with earnings of $980,250.

“He is coming into this as good as he could possibly be,” said trainer Henry Walters.  “He recovered his last in the Charles Town Classic.  The race was a run a little rough, but he has recovered nicely and he is ready to go.  He tries every time and I feel extremely fortunate to have him.  Not many horses of this quality and who are consistent come along.  This race sets up well for him.  The ultimate goal for him is the Maryland Million, so this race works out extremely well for him time wise.”
