Friday Week 4 Year 25 8/28/09

18 Runners tonight



Agnostic - 4-year-old chestnut gelding dirt router - a recent 1K auction purchase - 8 starts with only 1 third to his credit. Should make a nice filler horse. He's in a MSW at Marathon Raceway going way longer than he's ever gone before at 1 1/4. Field of 3 (including him). This is his first race for me. 2 47 SOLD


Aright - 3-year-old bay gelding dirt router - he's in a 10K maiden claiming race in Pennsylvania tonight. 8 29 SOLD

Astral Queen - 4-year-old bay filly turf miler - a 2K auction buy that has run three times for me with a 4th and two 3rd's. She's in a MSW in England tonight, she might have a shot at finally breaking it. Some others look more likely, though. She does have chaser potential so there's always that. 7 35

Authoritative - 3-year-old black colt dirt router - 20K auction buy that hasn't come close to paying me back in 5 starts. He's running in a MSW in Kentucky tonight in a short route. He probably really wants to go longer so I'll be trying to find something for his next race at a 10 or 12 panels, but it's hard to find maiden races that long. Very well bred but struggling right now. 9 24

Bungee Jumping - 4-year-old chestnut gelding dirt router - 10K auction buy who has paid for himself but just barely. Trying him with no equipment tonight for the first time. Running in a NW2 in Tennesse, there's a lot that are better in this full field. 8 20 SOLD

Cascade of Faith - 4-year-old dark bay filly turf router - this is a horse given to me as a gift last SIM year. This will be her third time out for me, only got a 3rd out of the last two starts. Running in a sponsored NW2 tonight in Tennesse. Not sure about the field, they look comparable. 7 32

Early One Morning - 3-year-old black filly tuf miler - 10K auction buy that has made 38K for me in 5 starts. Tonight she runs in another sponsored NW2, this one in Kentucky. There's a bit of competition in this field so hoping she can get a piece of it.
6 48 SOLD

Fire Song - 4-year-old chestnut gelding AWrouter- 60K chat auction buy as a yearling. This has been one disappointing horse for his price. Only 17K in earnings, I've been running him on AW at a mile because it seems like the only way he runs half decent. Running in a NW2 in Canada tonight, quite a few better in this field.
5 42

Jungle Gym - 7-year-old chestnu geldingt turf router - this horse was a gift when I first started. He's made me about 60K . He's lost a step this year but I still want to race him a bit, maybe he'll get lucky. 6 30

Last Love - 3-year-old chestnut gelding dirt miler - 5K auction buy, this is his third start for me and he still owes me money! He's in a MSW in Kentucky tonight where he looks to stay a maiden. 6 42

Point Royale - 3-year-old grey colt dirt sprinter - 10K auction buy, she's more than doubled her money but has struggled the last few times out. 7 furlongs is what she usually likes but I put her in a mile allowance tonight in case she really wants to go longer. Her sire seemed to do well at both distances. Won't be disappointed if she fails at this distance though. 9 32

Quiet Please - 3-year-old dark bay filly dirt sprinter - 90K chat auction buy. She still owes me a lot of money. She's made money in every start and has never finished worse than 4th (one time), she's had 5 races and just broke her maiden last time out (after adding lasix). She's running in a NW2 in Kentucky in a full field with some tough competition. 9 40

Red Velvet Curtain - 6-year-old bay gelding turf miler - 1K auction buy as an older gelding. He's more than paid for himself but hasn't run very consistently. Running in an allowance in Germany tonight against much better horses. 10 35

Save Your Power - 3-year-old bay filly - dirt router - 3K sales page buy - only her second start for me, came in 5th last out. MSW in New York over a muddy track. 6 39
SOLD

Silent Melody - 3-year-old dark bay gelding dirt sprinter - homebred - has 4 starts and finishes of 1, 2, 3, 4. He's in a fairly soft stakes in Turkey tonight, hoping he grabs a piece of the money at least. 4 52

Soulbridge - 4-year-old chestnut filly - turf sprinter - very consistent, has brought home a check in each of her 8 starts. In a NW3 in Germany tonight with a full field and tough competition. 5 45

Thrillin' Lady - 2-year-old bay filly - turf sprinter - 4.5K auction buy - this is her second start, first time on lasix, MSW in England. 5 43

Violation - 4-year-old dark bay colt - dirt router - one of my DTD horses does okay. He's running in a NW2 tonight in Texas and a full field. Looks like he should finish in the top 3 but he's disappointed before so I'm not counting on it. This is at a longer route that he usually runs, hoping the added distance helps him out. 5 48

Earnings for the night - $6,940
