The first race Friday at Delta Downs will feature the twins Custom Pete and Halo Carlos - who start as the respective 1 and 1A - in a $20,000 maiden claiming sprint for 3-year-olds. The entry of the twins, who are first-time starters, was posted on Twitter by Delta announcer Don Stevens.
Custom Pete and Halo Carlos are Louisiana-breds by Custom For Carlos. They are out of the mare Hide the Halo. The geldings were bred by Majestic Farms, are owned by Lary Nixon and trained by Thomas Nixon. The horses are designated as twins in the past performances of Daily Racing Form.
