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
