Aces High - 5-year-old black gelding steeplechaser - 1.5K auction buy - won his first time out chasing by over 6 lengths with a SF of 80, this is his second try in a longer, low level stakes. There weren't a lot of options. Hope he likes chasing as much as I think he does. His third start for me overall. 4 85
Cabella - 4-year-old grey filly - 5K auction buy - she's made her money back plus some but hasn't broken her maiden yet. Her sire was a late bloomer so I'll give her a little more time. She's in a maiden race. She usually brings home a check, just not a win. 2 57
Dramatic American - 6-year-old black gelding chaser -5K auction buy when I first started. Won last out, in a NW2 in New Zealand. 6 53
Eris - 6-year-old chestnut mare chaser - 1K sales page buy when I first started. She just ran last week and came in third, I'm bringing her back so soon as a filler in a Starter Allowance with no other entrants in New Zealand - should be an easy walkover for her. Hope she doesn't get hurt. 1 70
Esselmont - 5-year-old bay mare - 9.5K sales page buy when I was a junior. Hasn't done as well chasing as I had hoped she would. She's in a maiden race in England with a full field. 9 33
Expedite - 3-year-old bay colt - 40K auction buy - Steward-bred - in a NW2 in Kansas at a slightly longer distance than he is used to. He has struggled most of his career. 1 63
False Bravado - 3-year-old bay filly - 1K auction buy - this is her second start for me, she came in second the first time I ran her, which was also her first start on AW. She's already doubled the money I spent on her. She may just have been needing the right surface, I'm also trying her without blinkers which will be new for her. Maiden race. 5 36 SOLD
Gotta Be Me - 3-year-old black gelding - homebred - he's running in a NW2 tonight. Probably will never get beyond allowance level but that's okay. Broke his maiden 2 races back. 8 34
L A Face - 6-year-old chestnut mare steeplechaser - this horse has been so frustrating for me. Mary Weather says she gallops as if she has wings but yet she has one win and one third out of 19 starts. Total earnings of 12K. Ugh. I bought her for $150 off of the sales page when I was a junior and I have no idea why I hang onto her. She hasn't done any better steeplechasing than she did as a flat racer. The only good thing is I can use her as a filler in maiden races. 3 62 AJ
La Fenice - 4-year-old dark bay filly - 16K auction buy - not a good deal at this point and soon to go. I'm trying her at a mile tonight to see if there is any improvement. She hasn't even come close to earning her money back. She actually has decent workouts, they just don't translate to the race very well. MSW Also trying her out with no equipment tonight. 3 47 GAVE AWAY
Legenda Aurea - 4-year-old black filly - 10K auction buy - she has almost made her money back, but not quite. She's in a NW2 tonight. I think she really wants to run farther but it's been hard to find races at a longer distance that aren't stakes. She's in a short route tonight. Also running her without equipment tonight for the first time.
3 54
Let Faith Guide - 4-year-old chestnut gelding - 1K sales page buy as a 2-year-old - he's more than made his money back but never has amounted to much. He's in a 7.5K claiming race tonight. Bred to be a router but seems to be doing better at a mile. Has potential as a chaser so will probably be trying that very soon. First time without equipment. 10 29 SOLD
Maya Memories - 3-year-old dark bay filly - 7K auction buy - she's $100 short of making her initial money back. Stretching her out to 7 furlongs and trying a tongue tie tonight in a NW2. 5 46 SOLD
Opening Day - 5-year-old black mare steeplechaser - a gift horse from back in my junior days - she's done much better as a chaser than a flat racer. She's in a NW2 tonight without lasix for the first time. 5 54
Send Them to Utah - 5-year-old grey mare steeplechaser - 1K sales page buy - she has vastly improved since becoming a chaser. Won last out and is in a NW2 (Australia) tonight against some with better figures but hopefully she gets a piece of it. 2 73
Shorebird - 3-year-old dark bay filly - 10K auction buy - hasn't made her money back yet in 4 starts but she's close. Has improved since switching her to AW, she runs in a maiden race in Canada tonight against a full field. First time on lasix. 6 39
Solongnotgoodnight - 2-year-old grey colt - 15K auction buy - his second start, he came in 3rd his first time out. MSW in Mexico at a little longer, hope he improves. 2 55
Songs About Rain - 5-year-old grey mare steeplechaser - 1K sales page buy - has done better chasing but not a lot - MSW in Australia tonight. 2 67
The Lonely One - 3-year-old bay gelding - 5.5K auction buy - he's more than doubled his initial cost. He's in a NW2 in Canada tonight. 5 48
Water Landing - 5-year-old grey mare - a gift horse - CAH - she's done pretty well in allowances for me, has 2 wins, a 2nd and a 3rd in 7 starts. She's in an allowance tonight against some really good horses so I'm not sure how she'll do. 3 52
Weird - 5-year-old dark bay mare steeplechaser - 1.5K auction buy - this is her first steeplechaser race, maiden in Maryland. She made me 10K in her second start on the flats for me so more than paid for herself. This is her third start for me. 4 59
Earnings for the night - $37,620
