Wednesday Year 25 Week 9 9/30/09

Mixed breed racing night. 18 runners, not really expecting too much from any of them.

Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Running in a sponsored stakes, five horse field. This is his first stakes race, there are at least two monsters in the field. If he runs his eyeballs out he might get up for the top three. He'll bring home a check either way.
3 68

Back Off - 6-year-old QH gelding - His best racing days are behind him but he still needs to race every now and again. Running in a 5K claimer tonight in a full field with a lot of youngsters, not really expecting him to be in the top five. 1 67

Combat Rock - 5-year-old Arabian horse - I sponsored a stakes race for him to try to boost his earnings, only three horses in the field so he'll make money though I don't expect him to win. 2 68

Cuts Like A Knife - 3-year-old QH colt - CAH - Had a pretty good 2-year-old season and petered out at 3. I'm running him in a Grade 3 stakes tonight, at a distance he's never run at, I doubt that he'll even be in the top five. 2 63

Dashing Rye - 3-year-old QH gelding - First start for me, three horse field, MSW, probably won't win but will earn some money, anyway. 3 46

Dusty Digger - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Slow, running in a stakes, five horse field 5 50

Dream Eater - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Running in a l o n g route allowance race, not really expecting her to do well but hoping she can surprise me. 4 62

Easy As Pie - 3-year-old trotter filly - CAH - first start, MSW, six horse field. No workouts so I have no idea how this filly will do. 1 62

Happy Days Again - 2-year-old filly - Free gift from Em in the chat room, this is her first start in a MSW, full field with all first time starters. 4 59

Karim - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - Very slow horse, second start for me, running in a stakes race in a five horse field. He'll earn some money. 5 46

Lonesome Fugitive - 3-year-old trotter colt - Running in a NW2, full field, he might be in the mix at the end. 2 62

Malika Badiya - 4-year-old Arabian filly - First start for me, running in a NW3, not really expecting much. 5 63

Oxiclean - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Second start for me, MSW, pretty competitive field. Slow speed figures. 4 51

Rare Lil Maverick - 3-year-old Paint filly - First start for me, MSW, six horse field, maybe she gets up for a check, not very good speed figures. 4 55

Sir Prize - 3-year-old Paint colt - Running in a stakes, five horse field, he might get up for fourth. 2 59

Spirit Road - 3-year-old Appy colt - Running in a Grade 3 stakes tonight, four horse field, if he runs as well as he did last out he might get up for second. 3 65

Two Bits - 5-year-old Paint gelding - Running in a 5K sponsored claimer, almost a full field, don't think he'll really make it up there. 6 61

White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH, created her just for this race, spnsored MSW, three horse field, no works so I have no idea how this horse will do. She'll get a check either way. 2 43

Earnings for the night - $109.120 (includes breeder awards)

Monday Year 25 Week 9 9/28/09

A lot of first time runners along with some chasers tonight. 25 running

Aces High - 5-year-old chaser gelding - Running in a NW3 against some good competition, not sure how he'll do. 2 79

Amador - 2-year-old gelding - Running as a filler in a NW2, five horse field where only one horse has actually won a race 5 37

And She Was - 2-year-old filly - First start, all weather sprint, 50K maiden claimer, she's the only first time starter in the field 6 22

Authoritative - 3-year-old dirt router gelding - Running in a MSW with a full field. Stretching him out to 1 1/2 miles and hoping that does the trick, don't think he'll like the sloppy track too much though. 5 46

Big Guns - 2-year-old turf router colt - First start, MSW, should be a router but I'm trying him out at a mile first. Six horse field, he might have a chance of bringing home a check. 2 59

Cousin Vinny - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, full field, his works are okay but not spectacular. Some in this field look faster, some look slower - this is a toss up.
12 17

Dionysia - 3-year-old filly - Running in an allowance as a filler - four horse field, she's coming in fourth. 4 32

Epic Farewell - 3-year-old dirt router colt - One of my favorites, but struggles. Steward-bred, running in a NW3 with almost a full field and some monsters have entered. 2 66

Final Warning - 2-year-old gelding - First start, MSW, five horse field, sloppy track. He is the only first time starter in the field. 5 33

Glorious Eyes - 2-year-old turf miler filly - First start, five horse field, NW2, only one horse has a win in this field. 4 45

Holder Hall - 4-year-old dirt router gelding - DTD - He has 3 wins and 3 seconds out of eleven starts. Running in a Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. He'll probably come in fifth because I shipped him pretty far to get him here yesterday. The other four horses are monsters anyway. 5 51

How Soon Is Now - 2-year-old turf miler gelding - First start, 25K maiden claimer
9 22

In His Arms - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - Second start, came in second first time out in a soft stakes. Running in a NW2 tonight, five horse field. 1 64

Language Barrier - 4-year-old turf filly - been running in routes and doing so-so (31K in earnings) trying her at a mile tonight in a NW3. 7 38

Matter of Trust - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - First start, MSW, some nice first timers in this field, don't think he'll get up there. 3 49

Monster Heat - 2-year-old turf miler filly - First start, MSW, a lot of first timers in this field, I have no idea how this horse will do. 1 58

Nautic Tale - 2-year-old gelding - First start, running in a mile all weather 25K claimer, five horse field. 3 39

Personal Demon - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, running in a NW2, five horse field, no one in this field has won a race. 2 54

Serena's Desert - 2-year-old filly - First time starter, running in a NW2, five horse field, all first time starters, filler. 3 45

Shot of Tequilla - 2-year-old turf router filly - first start for me, running her at a mile, NW2, four horse field. 4 46

Silent Cry - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, NW2, four horse field, only one winner out of the four. His best works were on AW but he's in Japan right now and there were no AW races. 2 54

Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - MSW, she has 3 second place finishes, don't think she'll break her chaser maiden tonight 1 67

Stormy Darkness - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, running in a 15K claimer with a lot of other first timers. 1 59

Sunday Minx - 5-year-old chaser mare - First start as a chaser, MSW, four horse field. 3 62

Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - MSW, third start chasing, has one third and one fourth, she probably won't do it tonight either. 4 60

Earnings for the night - $60,390

Friday Year 25 Week 8 9/25/09

Only 15 runners tonight, mostly all turf.

American Tourist - 3-year-old filly - this is her second race for me. She's really a turf miler, but I'm running her in a dirt mile stakes race with four other horses. She's not very quick on the turf anyway, she's never broken out of the 40's with her sf's so it doesn't really matter what she races on. She'll earn her keep tonight anyway. 5 24

Face Value - 2-year-old turf sprinter gelding - Originally this was a five horse field, stakes, but sometime after I went to bed someone else entered a horse, so now it's a 6 horse field. So this horse is not earning anything tonight. 5 38

Give Candy - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - Second start, running in a MSW with a lot that have no starts - hard to tell if he'll get into the top five or not. 5 35

Hugs and Kisses - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - Running in a 60K claimer tonight, she might be in the mix at the end. 8 27

Ize Happy - 3-year-old dirt miler gelding - Slow gift horse, running in a sponsored NW2 - five horse field, he'll get a check anyway. 5 20

Kindness - 2-year-old turf filly - First start. She didn't have very good works, tonight she's in a very soft stakes with four others, she'll bring in a check. 5 40

Lucky Thirteen - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - Third start, his first race he was first, his second race he was last. Tonight he's in a NW2 in a five horse field, he'll bring home something. 4 47

Musical Flower - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - This is her first start for me, her third start overall, she has two wins but not very impressive SF (58). She's in a soft stakes with three other runners, at least two look like potential monsters. 4 45

Night Race - 2-year-old turf miler filly - Gift horse. First start in a full field MSW, she has decent works but so do a lot of the others. 5 49

Perfectly Magical - 3-year-old turf filly - Another one where it was a five horse field, stakes, and someone entered after I went to bed. (I gotta stop needing sleep.) She's finishing last. 6 42

Serene Spirit - 2-year-old turf filly - Running in a stakes, six horse field, more fillers than stakes quality - she'll probably finish out of the money. 6 29

Speed of Darkness - 2-year-old filly - bad works on all surfaces - I do like her name though. This is her first start - stakes - five horse field. 5 22

Spin That Record - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - Third start, she has a first and a second. Not great SF (60) despite having some really nice workouts. She's running in a NW2 with a competitive field. 6 44

Stepping Out - 3-year-old turf router gelding - Running in an allowance in Japan - he doesn' stand a chance. 10 13

Water Landing - 5-year-old turf router mare - Running in a NW3 in a full field, she might get up in the mix at the end. She's only not brought home a check once out of 9 starts with five OTB finishes. This looks like a fairly tough field, though. 6 38

Earnings for the night - $14,690

Wednesday Week 8 Year 25 9/23/09

Mixed breed racing night. 15 running tonight.

Big Boss - 3-year-old gelding - trotter - Not too fast, running in a NW3, I'll be surprised if he earns a check. 5 53

Cracklin Rosie - 2-year-old filly - quarter horse - She's running in a stakes that is way over her head but it's only a five horse field so she'll earn some money, anyway. A little shorter than she probably likes. 5 43

Emotions in Motion - 2-year-old filly - trotter - This is her first start in a MSW, first starts for everyone in the race. 6 50

Eomeona - 3-year0old gelding - trotter - Bought him to use as a filler, tonight he's running in a sponsored (by me) NW2 in a five horse field. I sponsored this race for Matter of Fact who I don' think is up to taking on any stakes horses. 5 50

Flash of Fire - 2-year-old colt - trotter - First start in a MSW with other first time starters. 1 65

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old filly - trotter - Very slow, running in a MSW again tonight, not expecting anything. 3 46

Hotter Than Mojave - 2-year-old Appy colt - has two seconds out of two starts. Running in a very soft stakes, he has a shot at being in the top three since there are only three other runners. He probably would like to go a little longer but the small field was too good to pass up. 3 53

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old gelding - trotter - he's running in an allowance with three others over a muddy track. 2 60

Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH that I originally created as a filler, she's done okay but isn't anything great. I sponsored a MSW for her at a route to give her another shot at a longer distance without running her in a stakes. Only four others in the field. 4 54

Locomotive - 3-year-old gelding - pacer - I've been trying to sell this guy for 1K but nobody wants him. He's that slow. How could MW have been so wrong? He's running in a MSW with one other horse, a CAH with no starts but better works. SOLD
2 42

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabian colt - Has a first and two seconds out of three starts. Running in a sponsored NW2, his first route race with four others. I figured I might as well see how he likes routes and get that out of the way early. 2 53

Matter of Fact - 3-year-old colt - trotter - I sponsored this NW2 for him, only a five horse field, hoping it gives him some confidence but you never know how things will work out. 1 61

Mayday - 2-year-old Appy filly - This is her first start for me, her third start overall. I'm running her a little longer in a three horse field that is also a stakes race. She'll probably come in last but a third in a stakes is okay. 3 43

Money and Music - 2-year-old colt - trotter - This is Soft Music's first foal and I would really like him to do well. He's running in a MSW with other first time starters - some that have similar works. I can only hope he does okay in his first outing. 2 68

Speak For Yourself - 4-year-old filly - trotter - CAH - This is her second start, running in an allowance with one other horse. 1 62

Earnings for the night - $56,350

Monday Week 8 Year 25 9/21/09

Steeplechasing night. 18 running tonight, nothing special going on.



Acamas - 4-year-old gelding chaser - this is his third try at breaking his maiden. Full field, so I doubt it. 10 53

Astral Queen - 4-year-old filly chaser - this is her second start chasing in MSW 6 45

Cryptic Humor - 6-year-old mare chaser - Running in a 40K claimer with a full field, highly doubtful. 12 38

Fire Song - 4-year-old gelding all weather miler - I originally paid 60K for this horse as a yearling. He has been a huge disappointment. He has a measley 17K in earnings out of 10 starts. Running in a NW2 tonight with a full field and probably won't hit the board again. 8 33

Folk - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - This is her first start, in a 32K maiden claimer in a full field. Her sire's leading earner has only made 28K and has been pensioned. 4 48

Harrodsburg Pike - 3-year-old all weather sprinter - Running in a NW2 32K claimer. Full field so his odds are slim. 10 16

John Ledyard - 2-year-old colt turf miler - First start, MSW with a lot of other first time starters. 8 36

Joyride - 2-year-old filly - turf sprinter - Third start, 40K claimer. 4 43

Let Faith Guide - 4-year-old gelding chaser - this is his second start as a chaser, won his first time out, he's in an allowance with a lot tougher tonight, not expecting anything. 10 47

Nuclear - 3-year-old colt - dirt router - NW2 - he might be in the mix at the end. 1 71

Opening Day - 5-year-old mare - chaser - Running in a 25K claimer 6 53

Osamu Riku - 2-year-old gelding - any dirt - This is his first start, he's in a stakes, not because I think he's that good but because there are only four others running in it. 5 42

Philadelphia Flyer - 5-year-old gelding - dirt router - originally this guy cost me 12K and has made me about 50K, he's nice just not very consistent. Running in a NW3 with some that are definitely better and younger. 4 55

Reach The World - 5-year-old mare - chaser - Running in a 45K claimer, she's never finished worse than 4th out of seven starts chasing, this is a six horse field so she might hit the board. 1 77

Send Them To Utah - 5-year-old mare - chaser - She's done pretty well since starting chasing. She has a record of 2-2-1 out of 5 chasing starts. Won last out in a NW3, tonight she's in an allowance with a full field and many that look better. 5 66

Serenity Prevails - 2-year-old filly dirt sprinter - this is her second start, came in 3rd first out with a mediocre SF. She's in a small stakes tonight because it has a very small field, only three others running. 4 48

She's A Runner - 2-year-old filly - dirt miler - First start, full field, a lot of first time starters, who knows? 4 42

Summer Pleasure - 3-year-old filly - turf router - MSW with at least one that is better. 1 58

Earnings for the night - $35,070

Friday Year 25 Week 7 9/18/09

30 horses running tonight, many 2-year-olds.

Addison - 4-year-old dirt router filly. 10: 1-1-2 Running in a sponsored, restricted stakes tonight. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 3 57

Amador - 2-year-old colt - 1: 0-0-0 - Running in a restricted stakes. Do I think he has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 37

American Tourist - 3-year-old filly - 4: 0-0-0 Her first race for me, MSW at a sprint distance, she was running in mile races previously. Not really expecting much. 4 41

Badlands Balladeer - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - First start in a MSW 6 39

Cabella - 4-year-old miler filly - 10: 0-2-2 Running in a sponsored, restricted stakes. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field! First AW start. 2 49

Cascade of Faith - 4-year-old turf router filly - 10: 1-0-4 Running in a NW2 with a full field. She's not going to win but might be in the mix. 9 23

Dancing Worlds - 4-year-old turf miler filly - 8: 0-1-1 This is her first start for me. She's in a stakes in Kenya and doesn't really stand a chance of even being in the top 5. Not too many mile races in Kenya, though. 9 35

Euridice - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - 2: 0-0-1 Running in a MSW - doubtful. 8 30

He Rules - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 6: 1-0-1 Running in a 10K claimer over a muddy track with a full field. Doubtful. 5 49

Heap of Virtue - 3-year-old dirt router filly - 5: 1-1-1 Running in a restricted NW2 - probably not. 5 45

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf filly - 1: 0-0-1 She's running in a stakes in Japan. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 37

Jungle Gym - 7-year-old turf router gelding - 22: 1-4-6 Running in a 65K claimer with a full field. Everybody else is younger. I think I might try cutting him back to a mile after this. 5 43

Justified Legacy - 2-year-old gelding - First start, running in a restricted MSW with only three other horses. He'll probably be last since it's a turf sprint and he should be a dirt router. His works were poor enough that it really isn't going to matter. 3 29

Mighty Victory - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, MSW She had okay works but so do a lot of the others in this full field. 4 52

Perfect Hero - 3-year-old turf sprinter gelding - 6: 2-0-1 Running in a NW3 with a full field. Doubtful. 2 59

Quiet Please - 3-year-old dirt sprinter filly - 6: 1-1-2 Running in a NW2. Not likely.
5 47

Red Velvet Curtain - 6-year-old dirt router gelding - Running in an allowance which he'll probably not do well in and I'll probably retire and pension him right afterwards. 9 15

Shadowdancer - 3-year-old gelding 6: 0-0-1 - running in a restricted MSW with three others, doubt he'll break his maiden even in this small field. Filler. 1 56

Shootout - 5-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 18: 4-2-4 Running in a small stakes, not expecting anything as I think he's pretty much done. Have to try him out at chasing.
7 48

Shroom - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, MSW with a full field of other first time starters. 8 38

So It Goes - 2-year-old dirt sprinter colt - Two starts one fourth. MSW with a full field. Doubtful. 7 37

Soulbridge - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - 9: 1-3-1 Running in a NW3 in Norway. She might be in the mix at the end. 4 50

Strange Meeting - 2-year-old dirt filly. First start. She really should be a router but I have her in a long sprint because I'm just tired of waiting for the route races to start. Both her parents did well in their first race at a sprint at 2, so I thought I'd give her a shot. Restricted MSW. 5 37

This I Gotta See - 2-year-old turf filly - First start, running in a stakes. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 38

Thrillin' Lady - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - 2: 0-0-0 MSW, expecting nothing.
7 32

Twinkling Lights - 5-year-old dirt sprinter mare - 8: 3-2-0 She's running in a small stakes where she may be outclassed but her speed figures are comparable. She's been stakes placed before. I'd like her to do well but won't be shocked if she doesn't. Steward-bred 5 51

Violation - 4-year-old dirt router gelding - 10: 1-1-3 - DTD - Running in a NW2 with a full field. Recently gelded and he's the top money earner in the field but that can mean nothing. He might bring home a check. 2 61

Wild Ginger - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start - MSW with a full field and only one that has a race in (off the board finish). Not expecting much. 11 27

Yoshinobu - 2-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 1: 0-1-0 Running in a stakes, and no I don't think he has a chance but there are only four others running. 4 47

Yume Promise - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start in a MSW with a full field - unlikely. 7 39

Earnings for the night - $79,930

Aces High - 5-year-old gelding chaser - third start chasing. Won his first chase by over six lengths (SF 90), came in 4th last out in a stakes (SF 85). I have him running in another stakes this week. Looks to be pretty competitive but I'm hoping he can bring home a check. 5 80

Early One Morning - 3-year-old turf miler filly - finished 2nd in the Steward's Cup Turf Trial and has struggled ever since. Have her in a NW2 against a full field. 4 50
SOLD

Epic Farewell - 3-year-old dirt router colt - Steward-bred won last out in a NW2 (SF 69). I have him in a NW3 because I'm a chicken. He should win this easily. 3 57

Eris - 6-year-old mare chaser - 7: 2-0-1 chasing. In a NW3, hopefully she gets up for some money. 1 75

Esselmont - 5-year-old mare chaser - 6: 0-1-0 running in a 20K maiden claimer and hoping for the best. 8 43

Expedite - 3-year-old dirt sprinter colt - Steward-bred. Did well at 2 but tailed off at 3, recently added lasix and he's been doing better. Won last out and I put him in a stakes with some heavy competition. Hoping he manages to get a check. 6 44

Holder Hall - 4-year-old gelding dirt router - DTD - 10: 3-3-0. Did poorly last out in an allowance. Have him in another allowance tonight with a full field. 5 46

L A Face - 6-year-old mare chaser - 7: 0-0-2 chasing This mare! One win out of 20 starts, no 2nd's and only the two thirds chasing. 20: 1-0-2 yet somehow this horse has gotten the wings comment. I keep thinking there must have been something I'm missing with her but this will probably be her last race. She drives me crazy. Running in a 32K claimer. 8 51

Last Love - 3-year-old gelding dirt router - 5 starts and no wins. Trying him at a much longer distance in a 25K maiden claimer. 11 35

Mythical Star - 3-year-old gelding all weather miler - MSW, not expecting anything here. This is probably his last race for me. 3 44

Authoritative - 3-year-old colt - dirt router - decent 2 year old season and has tailed off at 3. Sending him out longer and hoping he has just wanted more real estate. MSW 4 46

Destiny Is Mine - 2-year-old filly - turf sprinter - This is her second start, came in 9th first out on all weather. Sending her out on turf and adding an F8. MSW 6 39

Dionysia - 3-year-old filly - turf router - trying her at a long route to see if she improves, MSW 11 19

Dreams of Venus - 2-year-old filly - all weather sprinter - second time out, adding a tongue tie MSW 9 22

Gremlin - 3-year-old gelding - dirt router - very slow, his best finish has been a 6th out of three starts. I have him in an allowance as a filler. Three others - all much better than he is. 4 38

In His Arms - 2-year-old colt - dirt miler - this is his first start and I've put him in a stakes sprint simply because there were only four other horses in there, two others are unraced. 2 58

Language Barrier - 4-year-old filly turf router - Started out well at two and than struggled in her last two races. Trying her out in a stakes at a long route. I'll be really surprised if she earns a check. 9 31

Making Money - 5-year-old gelding - turf miler - running in an allowance with a full field. No idea how he'll do. 8 40

Point Royale - 3-year-old gelding - dirt sprinter - running in a NW2 in a competitive field. If he runs his heart out he might make it in the top 5. 4 52

Solongnotgoodnight - 2-year-old colt - dirt sprinter - third start, has a second and a third so far. Running in a MSW against some tougher ones. 3 56

State of Mind - 5-year-old gelding - all weather router - he's been doing okay on all weather but I think after this race I'm going to try switching him back to dirt. Running in a NW3 this week 9 27

Sunday Minx - 5-year-old mare - turf router - won last time out, running in a NW2 this week in Japan, she might hit the board but I doubt it. 4 40

The Lonely One - 3-year-old gelding- dirt sprinter - Running in a NW2 in a full field with many that are better. 3 57

Water Landing - 5-year-old mare - turf router - She's still doing okay for her age, running in a NW3 with at least one monster in the field. 4 48

Winnings for the night - $32,580

Wednesday Year 25 Week 6 9/9/09

Mixed breed racing night. Only 8 running tonight.


Big Boss - 3-year-old colt - trotter - 5: 1-1-1 Running in a NW3 since there really wasn't anywhere else to put him this week. Never really had very good SF's so not really sure how he's going to do in this race. 5 53

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old filly - trotter - 5 starts, still a maiden. Supposed to have wings but I don't know where they are. Running in a MSW with four others. 3 44

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old gelding - trotter - started his career strong with two wins, struggled since than. I sponsored a NW3 for him tonight, two others in the field. 1 61

Locomotive - 3-year-old gelding - trotter - Another one with wings that is still a maiden after 6 starts. Just gelded him this week, maybe it will help him to focus on the race. Running in a MSW with three others. 3 36

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabian colt - this is his third start, got a 1st and a 2nd in the previous starts. Entered him in a stakes that has only two other horses in it. At least one of those two looks to be better. 2 57

Matter of Fact - 3-year-old colt - trotter - 5: 1-2-1 Put him into a stakes, I don't think he'll win but there were only 4 other horses in it so thought he might as well make some money anyway. There's a slim chance he hits the board. 5 57

Oxiclean - 3-year-old gelding - Appy - 1K recent sales page buy, this is his first start for me, has one 2nd in four starts. Running in a MSW with three others, he's the only one with a placing in this field. 3 50

Speak For Yourself - 4-year-old filly - trotter - Just created this horse this week. She's the only entrant in her MSW unless some AJ horses show up. I decided I needed some more mares for Midnight Tornado and the easiest way to get them is to create them. 1 60

Earnings for the night - $44,100

Monday Week 6 Year 25 9/7/09

Monday night racing means a lot of steeplechasers. Hard to believe we're already into week 6!
22 runners tonight

Acamas - 4-year-old gelding chaser - This is his second start at chasing, came in 9th first out so not expecting much of anything here. Running in Maryland in a MSW with a full field. Sulamani x Twirlingntwirling (Runaway) 8 45

Astral Queen - 4-year-old chaser filly - This is her first chase, I threw her into a stakes race as a filler, only three other horses in the race. She'll probably come in last but she'll still bring in a check. The "Tin Chalice Challenge" at Jump Downs in Ireland, Grade 1 with a purse of $50K. The Star Man x Sun Spot (Encosta de Lago)
4 48

Autochthoe - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - this is her second start, 9th first time out at a short sprint and a SF of 20. Running in California in a full field, MSW, others look better. Adding lasix and tongue tie, though I don't expect either to help much, can't really run much slower than the first time. Berlioz x Cabocabocabo (Xaar) 6 41

Cabella - 4-year-old turf miler filly - Still trying to break her maiden, though she has 4 2nd's and 3rd's. Running in a MSW in Tennesse, looks to be 2nd or 3rd best - hard to tell. Monaachi x Fly The Colors (Giant's Causeway) 4 51

Cinque Terre - 5-year-old mare chaser - Running in a 25K claimer in Australia, not expecting much in this six horse field, others look better. Monaachi x Rubicon (Elusive Quality) 5 34

Dramatic American - 6-year-old gelding chaser - Sending him back a little earlier than usual to put him in as a filler in an Allowance in New Zealand. Three others in the field. American Baby x Missmelodramatic (Chesapeake Bay) 4 56

False Bravado - 3-year-old All Weather (Miler) filly - First try at a mile, she's been running in sprints. This is her third race for me, if she doesn't like the new distance that will probably be it for her. Also adding blinkers. NW2 Courageous Witness x With A Wink (Unheard Of) 3 52 SOLD

Four Letter Word - 2-year-old colt - First start, trying him out in an all weather sprint. His best work was on all weather which still wasn't very impressive. Might do better at routes but I think he's going to be slow regardless. MSW Viper x Gilded Medallion (Leelanau) 4 29

Gimme - 2-year-old gelding - First start, should be a dirt router but his works were so poor I decided to try him in a dirt sprint as a filler. He's running in a 75K maiden claimer with four other slow babies. Regal Luck x Friendly Battle (Battleofthestars)
5 18

Gotta Be Me - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Running in a NW2 with others that seem more likely. Steal It x Until Then (Always Will) 5 44

Hugs And Kisses - 4-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Seems to like longer sprints, this might be a little short for her. Running in NW2 with a full field. She might have a chance to finish in the top 5. Snuggle x Go To The Exit (A Bus) 5 44

I Eat Cannibals - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Second start, 8th first time out (38), running in a 25K claimer with a full field. Adding lasix and tongue tie. Hot Shot x Wheelymisunderstood (Wheelaway) 6 40

Ize Happy - 3-year-old turf gelding - Just gelded him today, has been running at a mile, moving him up to a short route to see if he likes the added distance. He's running in a starter allowance with seven others and he looks to be the weak link. Lionize x Happy Thoughts (Shardal) 8 16

Let Faith Guide - 4-year-old chaser gelding - First out at chasing, MSW at Chaser Downs, full field. Faith Justified x Breaking Hearts (Motivator) 1 77

Little Bit - 2-year-old filly - First out. Should be a router but bad works so I'm running her in a dirt sprint in a 32K claimer. Only 4 others in the field. Dr. Richardson x Serenity Valley (Taindrops on Roses) 5 29

Norman's Hope - 4-year-old dirt sprinter filly - One win in 10 starts tells the story of this filly. Running in a 12K claimer, many better. This is probably her last race for me. Hemi Cuda x Hopes (Tri Star) 3 55

Notice Worthy - 6-year-old chaser gelding -Running in an Allowance at Sycamore Downs. Has one win and one third in six chasing starts. 4 77

Opening Day - 5-year-old chaser mare - 7: 1-1-2 chasing, running in a NW2 in New Zealand, a little short for her but maybe she can get in the top 5. Alkaased x American Holiday (Harlan's Holiday) 4 61

Reach The World - 5-year-old chaser mare - 6: 1-2-1 chasing. Running in a 25K claimer in Australia (same race as Cinque Terre), six horse field. Transcontinental x A Quiet Star (Really A Star) 3 61

Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - still a maiden after 6 starts chasing. Running in a 32K maiden claimer in Australia, seven horse field. Has two 2nds. Cosmonaut x Athabasca (Successful Appeal) 2 66

Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - Second start chasing, was 4th in her first start. MSW, full field. Herkemayah x Winning Colony (Colonial Colony) 3 65

Earnings for the night - $33,560

Friday Week 5 Year 25 9/4/09

19 horses running tonight, many of them are untried 2-year-olds so I'm not really expecting too much to come out of tonights racing.



Addison - 4-year-old dirt router filly - coming out of one of her worse finishes ever last race (10th) she's running in a NW2 at Flamingo Park, Florida. This isn't really her best distance and it's a full field with others that look better. 11 23


Amador - 2-year-old colt dirt miler - bred to be a miler but I have a feeling he might not be that good so decided to try him in a sprint. He was a 1K auction buy so I'm not risking too much with him either way. Running in a MSW in Kentucky with a full field, probably a lot that are better. 11 18


Face Value - 2-year-old turf miler colt - homebred - first start - another one bred to run a mile but I'm running shorter because I don't think he's going to be very good at any distance. Running in a restricted MSW in Kentucky. Almost all of the other horses in the field are also untested. 3 47


Give Candy - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - another 1K auction buy - this is his first start running in a MSW in Norway only three other horses in the field so should bring home something. Everyone else has one race to their credit. 3 48


He Rules - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding -my ill-begotten first attempt at breeding as a new player. Running in a MSW in New Orleans. Others look more likely. 1 60


Joyride - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - homebred - this is her second start, came in 8th first out. Running in a MSW in California and adding lasix and a tongue tie. Full field will probably be too much of a challenge for her. 10 25


Lucky Thirteen - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - won the first time out in a restricted MSW in Europe with a SF of 60. Threw him in a listed stakes in England just to see how he performs with stiffer competion. Might as well take care of that boogeyman right off. Two other colts look to be potential monsters. 8 31


Magical Fan - 3-year-old turf sprinter filly - one of those bad 1K auction buys. She likes to come in 7th - a lot. She has four 7th place finishes (in a row). She was really bred to be a miler but I'm trying her at a sprint. Running in a $12.5 maiden claiming race in Kentucky with others that don't like to run fast. 3 48 SOLD


Never Better - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - this is her second start, came in 8th first time out. Running in a MSW in Maryland at a slightly longer distance. Adding a shadow roll. Full field. 12 25


Nuclear - 3-year-old dirt router colt - stretching him out tonight in a NW2 I sponsored for him in California. The field quickly filled as there aren't many long routes for the 3-year-olds yet. It looks like he might have a chance if he likes the added distance. 2 63


Perfect Hero - 3-year-old turf sprinter colt - a slightly better outcome with my new player breeding. He has two wins and a 3rd out of five starts. I put him in a Grade 3 stakes in France. I don't think he'll win, he may not even hit the board, but it's a small field of six horses and only two others have much better speed figures, the other three all run around the same as Perfect Hero - so I thought I'd give him a shot. I won't be disappointed if he doesn't do well since he may very well be in over his head but it will be a pleasant surprise if he manages to bring home a check. 4 49


Philadelphia Flyer - 5-year-old dirt router horse - running in a NW3 in Tennesse, he's been stakes placed before but runs cold and hot depending on his mood. Highest SF so far has been 68. I'll probably geld him after this race. He likes running long routes and tonights race is a short route but he's finished off the board in his last four races (three 4ths and a 7th), Not sure what to expect tonight. 3 59


Quisquose - 3-year-old turf miler filly - I'm actually holding on to this filly to see how she will do as a steeplechaser. Her breeding really lends itself more to chasing, her flat racing career has been horrible. Trying her in a 10K maiden claiming race in Italy. Full field. 11 26 SOLD


Sad Eyes - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - second start, finished 8th first out. Running in a longer sprint and adding lasix and tongue tie tonight. MSW in Lexington, Kentucky, full field. 4 53


Shootout - 5-year-old turf sprinter gelding - I think his sprint career is really over but I put him in a stakes race. He was given to me just a little while ago, though I do think he is just about at the end of his sprint career. Doubt he'll even hit the board.
5 50

Sneak Around - 3-year-old turf router gelding - stretching him out to a longer route tonight, an allowance in Italy. Won last out in a short route - his first placing and first money. 88K auction buy I'd like him to do better, of course. Others in this field look to be better. 8 27


Spin That Record - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - second start, won first out. She's running in a NW2 in California with four others. Three are untried, one also won last out with the same SF (60). 2 58


Stepping Out - 3-year-old turf router gelding - won last out, running in a NW2 in Japan. I think he's going to prefer longer routes but there haven't been any in Japan yet. This is a full field of similar horses, so it'll depend on who pushes their way through, I think. 11 9


Summer Pleasure - 2-year-old turf router filly - hasn't done too well so far, one 2nd out of four starts. Running in a 15K maiden claimer in Florida. There are others that look better in this race. 2 58

Earnings for the night ; $34,590

Wednesday Week 5 Year 25 9/2/09

Mixed breeds racing night! 15 going postward.



Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - running in a NW3 tonight in Montana at 1 1/4 miles, seems to like the longer distances, I have no idea how he'll do here though. 1 68


Cracklin Rosie - 2-year-old Quarter Horse filly - only her second start. Running in a MSW at a slightly longer distance than her first where she came in 5th. That was at 220, this is at 400 yds. California race with a lot of untested 2-year-olds. 3 60


Cresceus - 5-year-old gelding trotter - from the original batch of mixers. Running in a NW2 in a full field at Maroon Mile in Kentucky. He might do okay. 5 52


Cuts Like A Knife - 3-year-old Quarter Horse colt - my most frustrating mixed breed. Always on the edge of doing well. A CAH. He's running in an allowance tonight at the shortest distance available, 220 yds. I never know how he's going to run. 10 64

Dusty Digger - 3-year-old Appy gelding - he's pretty slow but there are only 4 other horses in this MSW in North Dakota so he'll bring home a check of some sort. 5 39

Eomeona - 3-year-old gelding trotter - another slow horse I bought super cheap - he's in a MSW in NJ with two AJ filler horses - maybe he breaks his maiden. 1 48

Giddyup - 3-year-old gelding Quarter Horse - again, another slow horse, running in a MSW in California with three other horses so he'll bring in a check anyway. 1 49
GAVE AWAY

Hotter Than Mojave - 2-year-old Appy colt - this is his second start - came in second in his first outing which was a MSW. Decided to throw him into a stakes in New Mexico since it's a small field. Hopefully he brings home a check. 2 57

Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - 5: 0-2-2 Running in a MSW in Montana, 6 horses in the field, hoping she brings in some money. 5 42

Locomotive - 3-year-old pacer colt - very slow, I haven't gelded him yet because somehow this slow horse got the coveted *wings* comment. So I'm giving him every possible equipment option before going snip-snip. He's run with all kinds of equipment and with no equipment, small fields, big fields. I'm trying a head pole tonight for the first time. He's been really unimpressive in all of his starts, and his works have been poor. Maybe his wings will sprout once he is gelded - probably after this race. MSW in New Jersey, not a full field but close. 8 40

Lonesome Fugitive - 3-year-old trotter colt - 3: 1-1-0 Had him in way over his head last out and he finished poorly. Running in a NW2 in Kentucky this week in a full field with many that look better. 2 60

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabia colt - this is his second start, came in for place in his first race. Going a little longer in tonights MSW in California with a full field. There are some with slightly better works so not sure how he'll do. 1 63

Spirit Road - 3-year-old Appy colt - 3: 0-1-1 running in a MSW in North Dakota tonight, full field, no idea how he's going to do. Trying a tongue tie tonight. 2 63

Stepaside Peake - 3-year-old trotter gelding - my $5 sales page purchase - running in a MSW in Kentucky with five others. Not great SF's - hope he brings in a check. 1 52

Two Bits - 5-year-old Paint gelding - he's running in a NW2 in North Dakota at his least favorite distance but nowhere else to really put him. Seven others running with him - all younger and probably faster. 8 16

Earnings for the night - $47,780
