Monday Week 5 Year 25 9/31/09

Monday - steeplechasing and whatnot tonight. I have a few nopt so good 2-year-old's running as fillers tonight. 30 running overall.





Coronal - 3-year-old filly All Weather Miler - or at least I think she's an all weather miler. This is her second all weather start. Got 4th in her first start which was better than her two dirt starts, which might mean something but might mean nothing. MSW in England. I really have no idea how she'll do, overall she's been a pretty lackluster horse so far. 3 44 SOLD

Cryptic Humor - 6-year-old mare chaser - has a record of 9: 1-2-2 chasing. Her SF's aren't all that great. She's in an allowance in Ireland with similiar. 8 48

Epic Farewell - 3-year-old dirt router colt - steward-bred and one of my more frustrating horses. Decent works and well bred but struggles. He's in a NW2 tonight in the Dominican at a longer distance than he's used to. There's only one other horse in the field that looks better but I've heard that song before with this horse. Hoping the longer distance is what he's been wanting. 1 69

Euridice - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - 3rd in her first outing, this is her second try at breaking her maiden. Hoping that the first time out was a little too short for her at 4F. This 6F MSW in France should be more to her liking. There's a lot of untested 2-year-olds in the field so I don't really know what will happen. 10 24

Harrodsburg Pike - 3-year-old AW miler gelding. This is his second start on AW, won the first time out in a maiden claimer. He's running in a NW3 in Canada because that was all that was available at a mile for this week. There's a couple with two wins in this field that look like they will take this but I can always hope. 6 40

Heap of Virtue - 3-year-old dirt router filly - 4 starts with a 2nd and 3rd, her third start for me in a 30K maiden claimer. 1 62

Holder Hall - 4-year-old dirt router colt - my other DTD yearling - he's just really started to improve with 3 wins out of his last 4 starts. Been fairly consistent most of his career but throws in a clunker every few races. Running him in an allowance in Illinois against some older and richer horses. The track is sloppy which he usually loves. Won last time out with a 68 SF - hoping he manages to hold his own here.
8 38

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf router filly - or she should be a router but her workouts were not very good. She was a 10K auction buy so I want to try to get some of my money back from her. She's making her first start as a filler in a NW2 in Japan at 6F. 3 other horses in the field. 3 38

Long Bomb - 4-year-old dirt sprinter filly - 9 starts and still a maiden. She's running in a 25K maiden claimer in Kansas. I keep meaning to try her on jumps and just keep forgetting. She was a 1K auction buy and has made that back a few times over, she's running with others just like her so not sure how she'll do. 4 50

Love Bites - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - homebred - second start of her career, came in 9th the first time out, adding lasix, hind bandages and a tongue tie. 20K maiden claimer in Indiana. 3 56 SOLD

Malawi - 4-year-old chaser filly - this is her first start as a chaser, earned me her money back and than some on the flats but never really did well. I hope chasing agrees with her more. Running in a MSW in Australia, probably should have waited one more week due to the ship but she seems fine. 4 57

Moet Now - 3-year-old AW miler filly - this is her second start for me, came in 6th the first time I ran her which was her best finish out of 4 starts. Running in a MSW in Illinois against some that definitely look better. She'll probably finish out of the money. but really had nowhere else to put her. 4 42 SOLD

Mythical Star - 3-year-old all weather router gelding - at least that's what I'm hoping he is. Trying him out on AW in an allowance in Canada. Didn't have a bad AW work but his first AW outing was dismal but the distance was too short. Trying a route this time and there's only three others in the field. 4 36

Orlando - 4-year-old chaser gelding - His first race as a chaser - MSW in Maryland
4 36

Pacific Storm - 7-year-old chaser gelding - has a record of 8: 2-3-1 chasing. Won last out in a NW2, running in a NW4 tonight in New Zealand with two other horses in the field. Just raced two weeks ago but wheeling him back earlier because of the light field. 1 87

Pearlsbeforeswine - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - homebred - this is her second start, first start was a 9th. Adding lasix and tongue tie tonight and a little shorter distance. She's running in a maiden claimer in Illinois with a full field. 10 24

Run To You - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - homebred - this is her second start, 5th in her first outing. Adding lasix and a slightly longer distance. 25K Maiden claimer in Illinois. 11 19

Serene Spirit - 2-year-old turf miler filly - homebred - first outing in a 32K NW2 claimer in California. Filler with four other horses. 3 41

Serenity Prevails - 2-year-old dirt sprinter - homebred - first outing in a 32K claiming NW2 in California. 3 52

Shadowdancer - 3-year-old all weather sprinter gelding - first start on all weather to see if he improves. Running in a 32K claimer in Illinois. Would have liked to have picked a softer spot but needed to race him. 10 14

Singing The Blues - 5-year-old all weather router gelding - a 1K purchase that has more than made his money back, seems to run up-and-down. Has chasing potential but I'm trying to hold off until next year. Running in a 45K claimer in Illinois. 7 35

So It Goes - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - this is his second start, 9th first time out. Adding a shadow roll and lasix. Running in NW2 as a filler in Florida, 3 other horses in the field. 4 45

Someone Elses Star - 5-year-old chaser mare - didn't do well in the flats and hasn't done well chasing. Running in a 45K claimer in New Zealand with five other horses. Maybe she can get a check. 5 54 AJ

Strike Em - 5-year-old chaser gelding - has one win out of two starts chasing. Running in a NW2 in Australia tonight. Others look stronger. 6 63

Sun Beams - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - this is her second start, won first time out (58). Running in a NW2 in Chile against 3 others, at least one looks better. 3 52

This Is It - 4-year-old all weather miler filly - bought her for a buck so she made her money back plus quite a bit more but in general a real underachiever. This is her second start on AW, 8th the first time out on it but I like to give them two tries when switching surfaces. MSW in Illinois. 5 34 SOLD

Twinkling Lights - 5-year-old dirt sprinter mare - steward-bred has 3 wins and 1 second out of seven starts. I'm biting the bullet and putting her in a small listed stakes in Arizona. The distance is a little shorter than she seems to prefer but I'm hoping she can overcome that. She's won two of her last three with respectable SF's. This is her third start for me. She was a 10K forum auction buy and made her money back plus some in two races. Hope she can grab a piece of the stakes. 2 62

Wild Thing - 4-year-old chaser filly - this is her first chase race, 20K maiden claimer in South Carolina. No idea how she'll do. 1 79

Yoshinobu - 2-year-old dirt miler gelding - not very good works, running in a 15K NW2 claimer in Canada with three other horses. 2 55

Zion - 7-year-old chaser mare - not very good on the flats and not too good chasing. She's running in a NW3 in New Zealand tonight because there was nowhere else to put her. 7 50

Earnings for the night - $53, 280
