Friday Year 25 Week 13 10/30/09

22 running tonight

A Friend of Mine - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Second start, MSW, nine horse field. He was actually bred to be a router but seems like he might like the shorter distance. His sire, Frisco Kid, didn't really start winning routes until he was 3. 6 41

Argent - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Second start, running in a 100K restricted race in NY. Five horse field. 4 48

Cabella - 4-year-old turf mile filly - She's done pretty well for me since I bought her last year for 5K and dropped her from routes to a mile making me 80K. Won a sponsored stakes last out. She's running in a 150K listed stakes tonight, five horse field. I don't think she'll win this but she just might come in second or third. 3 55

Euridice - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Pretty slow gift horse as a yearling. She's in a NW2, five horse field. 4 41

Four Letter Word - 2-year-old turf sprint gelding - Not a very quick little horse. Running in a MSW, six horse field, won't be surprised if he finishes out of the money since he was bred for dirt. 6 14

Give Candy - 2-year-old turf mile gelding - Not very quick, running in a NW2, six horse field, really should be a sprinter so won't be surprised if he doesn't make anything either. 2 55

Globes - 4-year-old turf route filly - Second start for me, running in a sponsored NW3 100K claimer, five horse field. 3 48

Glorious Eyes - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Third start, running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes at London Gallops, five horse field, only two winners in the field. 5 44

Gremlin - 3-year-old dirt sprint gelding - He's been known to actually walk around the track, hard to even inspire to jog. Running in a MSW, four horse field. 4 34

Heap of Virtue - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a 50K sponsored stakes, four horse field, there's a small chance she comes in third. 3 52

Heavenlyrock - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Really bred to be a dirt mile+, this is her first race for me, she's running in a sponsored NW2, five horse field. 5 20

How Soon Is Now - 2-year-old turf mile gelding - Running in an allowance, five horse field, all maidens. 5 34

Hugs And Kisses - 4-year-old turf sprint filly - Running in a 125K restricted stakes in California, five horse field. She'll probably be fifth. 4 49

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf route filly - Running in an allowance in Japan, five horse field, all maidens. 5 30

Kisses and Clovers - 5-year-old dirt sprint mare - First start for me, she's been running on all weather, trying her on dirt. Running in an allowance, seven horse field. 6 44

Midevil - 3-year-old turf sprint filly - Second start for me, running in an allowance race in Italy, four horse field. 2 58

Nuclear - 3-year-old dirt route colt - Generally a disappointment considering his breeding, but tonight he's running in a 500K Grade 1 Handicap, four horse field, he'll be fourth but the money will still be good, the vet says he's not at his peak yet and I should wait a few days but he also said he is physically sound. Just hope he doesn't get injured. 4 52

Silent Melody - 3-year-old dirt mile gelding - Mediocre runner that earns his keep each race. Running in a 100K Grade 3 stakes in Saudi Arabia, five horse field. 4 48

This I Gotta See - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Third start, running in a 100K sponsored stakes, five horse field. 5 39

Violation - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - DTD - Another that has disappointed me but I think I've expected too much from him. Running in a 250K Grade 1 stakes, five horse field, no way he isn't coming in last, but the paycheck should be okay. 5 46

Wild Ginger - 2-year-old turf route filly - Running in a NW2, five horse field, bred for dirt so she'll be last in this one. 5 26

Earnings for the night - $101,615

Wednesday Year 25 Week 13 10/28/09

Mixed breed racing night, 20 runners going to post.

Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Running in a 50K sponsored stakes, four horse field, he'd have to run lights out to win this and I doubt that will happen. 3 62

As'ad - 6-year-old Arabian horse - Second start for me, running in a 250K sponsored stakes, seven horse field, some of nice horses in here, one huge monster. Hope he can hold his own. 4 71

Big Boss - 3-year-old trotter gelding - Not very quick, didn't have a lot of options for him this week, running in a NW2 in a full field. I'll be surprised if he's in the top five.
2 54

Cartecay - 2-year-old Appy gelding - First start for me, recent 1K purchase, not impressive, bought him mainly as a filler. Running in a sponsored 200K stakes, five horse field. He'll be fifth but pay for himself. 4 49

Cresceus - 5-year-old trotter gelding - my older slow trotter, I like him eventhough he's unimpressive. Running in a NW4 tonight, ten horse field, I doubt he'll be in the mix at the end. 7 58

Cuts Like A Knife - 3-year-old QH colt - CAH - He's up and down all of the time, decided to throw him in another stakes anyway, 100K stakes, ten horse field, if I'm lucky he's in the top five, but I'm not very confident. 9 58

Dashing Rye - 3-year-old QH gelding - Second start for me, bought to be a filler, running in a MSW tonight, three horse field. 1 35

Doc's Buck'n Baby - 2-year-old trotter filly - first start for me, bought for 1K as a filler, turned out to have the wings comment from MW, if that matters. Running in a MSW with a full field. Adding blinkers and tongue tie to see if it makes any difference for her. 9 52

Double Change - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - Second start for me, bought as a filler for 5K, won the first time I ran him so I got the 5K back. running in a 25K claimer tonight, eight horse field. Doubt that he'll be getting a check. 6 47

Faiza - 6-year-old Arabian mare - Second start for me, won first out "impressively" I sponsored this 75K stakes for her, two others - both monsters - showed up. Time to see if she's the real deal or not. 1 73

Flash of Fire - 2-year-old trotter colt - Running in a really tough 100K stakes tonight, eight horse field. Going by speed figures, there are two with better, and two with the same as he has. Hope he can stick his head in there for a check. 5 64

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old trotter gelding - Moderate trotter, usually earns a check, running in a NW4, eight horse field, he might be in the mix at the end. 3 66

Just Another Smile - 3-year-old Pacer filly - CAH - Second start, running in a MSW eight horse field, I doubt she'll break her maiden tonight. 2 55

Malika Badiya - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Running in a 60K stakes tonight, five horse field so she'll earn a check. 5 53

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabian colt - Running in a 50K sponsored stakes, three horse field, this is a new sprint distance for him, not sure how he'll do, but he'll earn something. 1 61

Mayday - 2-year-old Appy filly - Bought for 5K as a filler, she's already made that money back, running in a MSW, four horse field. 3 41

Money and Music - 2-year-old trotter colt - Running in a MSW with a full field, looks like he should win this but nothing ever a sure thing in racing. 1 65

Oxiclean - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Another bought for 1K as a filler, he's made his money back and than some in two races, running tonight in a MSW, four horse field.
2 60

Sir Prize - 3-year-old Paint colt - He's run better than his works indicate he should, but not overly fast. Running in a 75K stakes, five horse field, he'll probably come in fifth but still make a decent check. 5 58

White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH - Running in a MSW at a short sprint distance that I don't think she'll like, six horse field. She might be in the top five, depends how much she hates the shorter distance. 2 55

Earnings for the night - $124,990 (includes breeder awards)

Monday Year 25 Week 13 10/26/09

Aces High - 5-year-old chase gelding - Running in an allowance tonight, one horse shy of a full field. 1 89

Been Wishing - 4-year-old dirt router filly - Another recent 1K purchase, first start for me. She's running in a sponsored 75K maiden claimer, four horse field. She possibly may come in behind the AJ horses. 2 23

Calling For Backup - 5-year-old dirt mile gelding - First start for me, 1K purchase. He's been running at a sprint and not doing well, thought I'd try him at a mile, he's running in a stakes, supposed to be a filler in a five horse field but a sixth horse showed up. I decided to leave him in just to see how he does at the distance. He'll probably be sixth, though. 6 41

Chickesaw - 2-year-old dirt router filly - Second start, MSW, full field, fifth first out, she has really good works but just hasn't shown it on the track. 6 40

Con Tigo - 2-year-old turf route filly - Second start, didn't show too much first out, running in a 75K sponsored stakes, five horse field. 5 41

Dreams of Venus - 2-year-old turf route filly - Fourth start, entered into a stakes as a filler but again, a sixth horse showed up so she'll probably be sixth and earn nothing. I didn't have time last night to double check the races or I would have scratched her. 6 31

Holder Hall - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - DTD - Running in a 75K stakes tonight, seven horse field. With luck he may be in the mix at the end. 6 44

In His Arms - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Third start, has a first and a second, stakes placed, tonight he's running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes, eight horse field. He has a chance to be in the top five. Won't be surprised if he doesn't make it, either. 6 47

Knoxville - 3-year-old turf route colt - First start for me, third start overall. Recent 1K purchase. His first two races were on dirt but his breeding suggests he might do well on turf. Running tonight in a sponsored NW3, five horse field, he'll probably come in last but I'm hoping to see an improvement from his dirt races. 5 8

Mixed breed racing night. 21 running, not really expecting much.

Amal - 5-year-old Arabian mare - First start for me, a recent 3K purchase, she's got the unimpressive remark so just running her in a MSW with three others. 3 8

Back Off - 6-year-old QH gelding - Running him in a 50K stakes, at least one monster in the field. Sometimes the old guy surprises me, but I don't think tonight will be one of those nights. 3 68

Carry Me - 2-year-old Appy filly - Trying her at the longest distance tonight, she hasn't done real well at the short distances. Running in a 75K stakes with four others. She's the only maiden in the field. 4 46

Combat Rock - 5-year-old Arabian horse - The only race at his preferred distance this week was this 75K stakes with all of the monsters in it. What the heck, he's used to seeing thier butts. Seven horse field, at least three monsters. 3 71

Cracklin Rosie - 2-year-old QH filly - Not very quick but I like her anyway. She's in an allowance tonight, three horse field. Not her favorite distance. 2 43

Dream Eater - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Not all that fast but she earns her keep, usually. Tonight she's in an allowance, eight horse field, she might be in the mix at the end, but I'm not counting on it. 8 57

Dusty Digger - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Another slow one, but another one I like for no reason. Running in a MSW, six horse field. Don't think he's breaking his maiden tonight. I doubt if he'll even earn a check. 5 42

Easy As Pie - 3-year-old trotter filly - CAH - Second start, won first out but not very impressive. Tonight she's in a NW4, eight horse field, hope she gets a check, but I have my doubts. 4 60

Hanover My Heart - 3-year-old trotter filly - Seven starts, three 3rd place finishes says it all. She's in a MSW, three horse field. 1 43

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old trotter filly - Mary gave her the wings remark, but she's still a maiden after eight starts, however, she does usually earn her keep. She's in a MSW, four horse field, I don't think she breaks it tonight either. 2 42

Hotter Than Mojave - 2-year-old Appy colt - He's been stakes placed but is still a maiden. He's in a MSW, seven horse field. 1 58

Iba - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Really slow filly in a MSW, five horse field. 5 35

Kasida - 5-year-old Arabian mare - She's won three races so it's hard to find races for her. She's in a 75K stakes tonight, not her best distance, with younger horses that are faster, I'm not expecting anything from her tonight. 6 68

Lonesome Fugitive - 3-year-old trotter colt - He's in a NW4 tonight, full field, I doubt he'll even get a check out of this race. 8 59

Matter of Fact - 3-year-old trotter colt - Fairly consistent, not super fast, he's in a 300K stakes race tonight. He'll probably come in last, but there's only five horses in the field. 5 61

Mooby - 3-year-old Appy gelding - First start for me, recent 1K purchase, not very quick, running him in a 25K maiden claimer, seven horse field, hard to tell who will come out a winner in this field. 4 51

Speak for Yourself - 4-year-old trotter filly - CAH - Has two wins in three starts, did poorly in a stakes last out. She's in another stakes tonight, 50K with a five horse field, so she'll earn something. 5 52

Two Bits - 5-year-old Paint gelding - Have to give him a race every now and again, even though I think his better racing days are over. So tonight he's in a 200K stakes, five horse field. Three monsters, one is Strawfly Firewater (only mare in the race.) There's a chance he comes in fourth, but I doubt it. But I'll take the fifth placing. 4 65

Earnings for the night - $68,630

Monday Year 25 Week 12 10/1909

20 horses running tonight. Not expecting much from any of this group.

Deserter - 2-year-old all weather mile gelding - A recent 3K purchase, first start for me, second start overall. Trying him out on all weather. MSW, 10 horse field. 8 29

Enforce the Trail - 3-year-old all weather mile filly - Another recent purchase for 2K, not very quick, trying her at a little shorter distance and on all weather. MSW, full field. She'll probably be a filler after this. 11 10

Euridice - 2-year-old turf mile filly - She was bred to be a sprinter but hasn't done well at those distances so I'm trying her at a mile. MSW, one short of a full field.
10 30

Give Candy - 2-year-old turf mile colt - Third start, trying him at a mile too. Running in a 75K listed stakes with three others. There's only one winner in this small field. 4 47

Glorious Eyes - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Second start, she's running in an allowance race with four others. She'll probably come in fifth. 5 48

Heap of Virtue - 3-year-old dirt router filly - Really stretching her out tonight, running in a 300K Grade 1 stakes with four others. Three monsters in this field. If she's lucky she comes in fourth, if not, the payout for fifth should be good. 5 39

How Soon Is Now - 2-year-old dirt mile gelding - Second start, he's really bred for turf but had unimpressive works, so trying him on dirt. Allowance, five horse field.
5 20

I Do What I Want - 2-year-old dirt route filly - First start, so-so works, running in an allowance with four others. 5 40

Jungle Gym - 7-year-old turf route gelding - Always consistent until the middle of his 6 yo season, started dropping off. I'm trying him at a mile tonight in an allowance to see if he might like the shorter distance now. Full field. 11 29

Kindness - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - Second start, had a bit of a ship to get to this track and run in the 75K restricted stakes. Only four horses in the field, one monster and three maidens. 3 49

Language Barrier - 4-year-old turf route filly - Had a decent season at three, hasn't done well at four at all. Running her in a 100K listed stakes with four others. 3 53

Mighty Victory - 2-year-old dirt mile filly - Second start, MSW, full field. 4 49

Nautic Tale - 2-year-old dirt mile gelding - This is a really slow horse, running in a restricted MSW with four others. 4 44

Quiet Please - 3-year-old dirt filly - Probably runs better as a sprinter or miler but running in a route tonight, 150K Grade 2 stakes with four others, all better. 5 18

Shootout - 5-year-old turf sprint gelding - Running in an allowance tonight, eight horse field. 2 58

Spin That Record - 2-yer-old turf sprint filly - Good works, this will be her fourth start, has one off the board finish, one win and one second. Tonight she's in a 125K Grade 3 stakes with four others. If I'm lucky she comes in fourth or better, if not, fifth will be okay. 4 50

Stormy Darkness - 2-year-old dirt route filly - Second start, won first out, SF of 59, running in a 75K listed stakes with four others, all have better speed figures. 5 37

Winged Warrior - 3-year-old turf route gelding - Running in a MSW, only four horses in the field. Probably a better miler. 2 47

Winnings for the night - $58,640

Wednesday Year 25 Week 11 10/14/09

Mixed breed racing night. 21 running.

Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Fairly consistent long router, running in an allowance race tonight with a full field. There's a couple with better earnings, hoping he gets up in the end and earns a check. Trying him with blinkers for the first time to see if it might help him to finally break into the 70's with his speed figures. Of course, that could back fire. 2 69

As'ad - 6-year-old Arabian horse - Just bought this guy for 3K, he hasn't raced since week 2 and he has no works and has never raced at a long route, only raced four times as it is. So I have him in a MSW long route. I did gallop him and Mary says he runs like he has wings so I'm hoping he really does and hoping he likes the added distance. 1 72

Big Boss - 3-year-old trotter gelding - Not very quick, this guy, entered him in a sponsored allowance, eight horse field. I doubt he'll finish in the top five. 6 53

Cartecay - 2-year-old Appy gelding - Recent 1K purchase, not a very impressive horse but will make a decent filler. Running in a MSW with three others. 4 50

Cuts Like A Knife - 3-year-old QH colt - I sponsored a small stakes for him, I have no idea what distance he actually likes. Four other horses in the field, he might win, he might not. Depends on how he's feeling today, I guess. 3 63

Double Change - 3-year-old Arabian colt - Another recent purchase that I paid 5K for. Doesn't have very good works, I'll probably be gelding him after this race or the next one. He's running in a MSW with four others. He's never run at a sprint and I may try that next time. Tonight it's a short route because the field was small. 1 43

Emotions in Motion - 2-year-old trotter filly - Second start, her works were okay but she only managed a 50 speed figure and a sixth place finish in her first outing. Tonight she's in a 50K stakes with four others - all winners. 5 51

Faiza - 6-year-old Arabian mare - Yet another recent purchase (2K), This is her first race of this year, has no works and has never run at a long route, only raced four times. Galloped and got the wings comment. Trying her in a MSW at a long route, eleven horse field, hope she likes the distance. 1 72

Flash of Fire - 2-year-old trotter colt - Second start, won first out by almost 3 lengths and a 65 speed figure. Tonight he's in a 50K stakes with four others, three are winners. 2 66

Happy Days Again - 2-year-old trotter filly - Second start, finished fourth first time out with a 59 speed figure. Tonight she's in a 100K stakes with five others, only two are winners and look good. I'll be surprised if she gets a check out of this. 5 60

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old trotter gelding - A nice horse but not terribly fast. He's running in a 50K stakes simply because I had nowhere else to put him. It's a full field, I'm not expecting him to be in the mix at the end. 6 64

Just Another Smile - 3-year-old pacer filly - Recently created just to have a horse in this race. Didn't work or gallop her so I have no idea if she's any good. She's running in a 250K stakes with four others, all multiple winners. She should pick up a decent check for a fifth place finish. 5 53

Malika Badiya - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Running in a 25K claimer with three others. 4 50

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabian colt - Consistent, never finished worse than second, doesn't have very good speed figures though. Tonight he's in a 75K stakes with five others. There's at least one monster in the field, but he should be in the mix at the end. Trying blinkers for the first time, hope they don't hurt him. 5 60

Mayday - 2-year-old Appy filly - Second start for me, trying her at a longer distance though she doesn't have very good works, in general. She's in a MSW with four others. 5 45

Money and Music - 2-year-old trotter colt - Second start, 68 speed figure in his first start, tonight he's in a 100K stakes with four others, a few with better speed figures. I hope he improves in this start. 4 65

Rare Lil Maverick - 3-year-old Paint filly - This is her second start for me, not a very quick girl, she's in a MSW, seven horse field, if I'm lucky she comes in fifth. 4 57

Sir Prize - 3-year-old Paint gelding - Not real speedy but he's done better than I ever thought he would. He's running in a 100K stakes with five others. Don't know if he'll be able to get up for a check but it'll be nice if he does. 3 58

Speak for Yourself - 4-year-old trotter filly - CAH, Two starts, two wins but they were both easy races with very small fields. This is her first race challenge, a 50K stakes with a nine horse field. I'll be surprised if she makes it to the top five. 8 58

Spirit Road - 3-year-old Appy colt - Fairly consistent colt, only has one off the board finish out of six starts. Tonight he's in a 90K stakes race, six horse field. There's at least two that look better. 4 61

White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH, second start, trying her at a shorter distance, MSW, eight horse field. 2 60

Earnings for the night - $73,340 (includes bet winnings)

Monday Year 25 Week 11 10/12/09

27 going postward tonight, not so many filler races tonight, unfortunately. Hoping there's a lot more talent here than I think there is.

Aces High - 5-year-old chaser gelding - He's made money in each of his chasing starts, running in a NW2 with a fairly competitive field. 1 89

Astral Queen - 4-year-old chaser filly - This is her third start chasing, hasn't shown much so far, she's running in a 50K stakes with four others so I doubt she'll break her maiden here, she will earn some money though. 5 48

Badlands Balladeer - 2-year-old dirt router colt - Second start, running in a NW2 with four others, he's the only maiden in the field. 4 48

Dirie - 3-year-old dirt miler filly - Just picked her up for 5K, this is her first start for me, also her first start at a mile, her old owner ran her at routes. She's running in a MSW, seven horses in the field, she's the only one to have no earnings. If she doesn't improve at the mile distance she'll probably go into the filler ranks. 1 57

Globes - 4-year-old turf miler filly - Another new one for me, picked her up for $300, she's running in a starter allowance in an eleven horse field. I haven't galloped this filly yet so not sure if she's as bad as she looks or not. Otherwise I'll train her to jumps or she can always be a filler. 8 38

He Rules - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - He's running in a 25K NW2 claimer, full field. 8 38

Hugs and Kisses - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - She originally cost me 25K, has not made her money back. Tonight she's running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes, with four others and she should come in fifth. 4 48

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf router filly - Third start, she has a second and a third. Stetching her out tonight in a NW2 in Japan. Not a whole lot of races in Japan, nine horse field, I expect her to finish out of the money. 7 22

Never Better - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a 40K claimer, six horse field, she'll probably stroll home sixth. 6 40

Perfect Hero - 3-year-old turf sprinter gelding - I really tried to find a better race for him but there just wasn't any in Europe this week. So he's running in a 75K listed stakes. There's an outside chance he comes in fourth or fifth, six horse field. 4 49

Remember The Time - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, MSW, full field. 7 30

Run To You - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a 32K claimer with four others. 5 34

Sad Eyes - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a Grade 2 150K stakes with four others, she'll be fifth. 5 47

Shorebird - 3-year-old dirt router filly - Still a maiden, trying her at a longer route, I like her breeding but she only has one second out of six starts. MSW, eight horse field. 2 59

Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - Has one win and three second place finishes out of eight chasing starts (also two fourth and a fifth). Tonight she's in a 45K claimer, eight horse field. 7 53

This I Gotta See - 2-year-old turf filly - Second start, unimpressive works, she's running in a 35K NW3 claimer with four others. 1 52

Twinkling Lights - 5-year-old dirt sprinter mare - Steward-bred. I like this ole girl and it's a shame she missed almost a whole year of racing with her old owner. She's got two wins and three seconds in nine starts, stakes placed. She's running in a 50K listed stakes tonight, I'm hoping she can get into the top three but not really expecting it. Her best SF has been a 65 and she'll probably have to run back to that.
4 51

Visage - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, MSW, full field, no expectations here. 2 60

Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - Running in a 20K claimer with three others. 3 61

A lot of first time starters running tonight. 33 runners in all.

A Friend of Mine - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, the result of a lease purchase with Karie's mare Harbinger. His works were okay but he's running in a full field MSW with many first time starters. 7 33

Abacus - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, running in a stakes in Japan with other first timers. His works weren't great and I think he'll actually prefer long routes but I thought I'd give him a shot. 7 27

Addison - 4-year-old dirt router filly - She's running in a 250K stakes tonight with four others. Two are real monsters, she's probably coming in fourth or fifth. She's been tailing off lately and she needs to earn her keep. Mary thinks she runs like she has wings. 4 50

American Tourist - 3-year-old filly - Should be turf but incredibly slow, running in a dirt MSW with three others. Filler 4 26

Argent - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, so-so workouts, running in a MSW with a full field. 8 29

Cabella - 4-year-old all weather miler - She has a decent OTB but has yet to break her maiden. I don't think it will be tonight, either. She's running in a 100K sponsored restricted stakes with four others. Only one filly in the field has broken her maiden and she has 5 wins. The others are all maidens. 1 52

Canonical - 3-year-old dirt router gelding - First start for me. Six starts still a maiden, he'll be going into the filler ranks after tonight if he doesn't show anything. He's running in a MSW with a full field at a long route for the first time. He has the breeding to be a long router but he's shown so little in the shorter routes with his old owner that I don't hold out much hope for him. 3 51

Chick On the Hill - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, she may acutally prefer a mile but I want to give her a shot at what she was bred for. MSW, almost a full field.
5 41

Chickesaw - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, MSW, almost a full field. She had some really nice workouts and Mary says she runs like she has wings. Hope she at least makes a decent effort. 5 46

Dionysia - 3-year-old filly - Another turf horse that I'm running on dirt because she's not very good. MSW with three others. Filler 4 31

Folk - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - Second start, running in a restricted MSW with three others. Not sure how she'll do. 2 49

Golden Warrior - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, paid 50K for this filly, not really sure if I'll see that money back. She had decent workouts but no wings. Running in a MSW with a full field. 4 53

Guns and Daggers - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, paid 126K for this filly, good works and Mary says wings. She's in a MSW that is one horse short of a full field. 5 46

Mythical Star - 3-year-old all weather miler - Running in a MSW with a full field. Going into the filler ranks after this. 9 24

Perfectly Magical - 3-year-old turf filly - Unimpressive turf sprinter filly that is running at a route tonight in a 250K stakes in New Zealand with five others. Filler
5 28

Philadelphia Flyer - 5-year-old dirt router gelding - Has had a sort of up and down career, I originally paid 12K for him and he's made me a little over 40K (over 60K in all) so he earns his keep. Tonight he's running in a sponsored 200K Grade 1 stakes with four others, three monsters in the field. There's a chance he comes in fourth.
5 41

Rectitude - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, paid 25K for him, his works were okay, running in a MSW with almost a full field. 9 21

Red Velvet Curtain - 6-year-old turf router gelding - Couldn't sell this guy even for a buck. So tonight he's running in a 300K Grade 1 stakes with four others, there's even a slim chance he comes in fourth. 4 47

Serenity Prevails - 2-year-old dirt filly - Running in a sponsored restricted 50K stakes, she's the only one with any earnings but there's a few first time starters. 4 42

Wild Ginger - 2-year-old filly - Second start, should be a dirt miler but came in a dismal 11th first out. Tonight she's in a sponsored MSW at a mile on turf with three other non-winners. 3 44

You Need Your Head - 2-year-old turf router colt - First start, MSW with a full field. Homebred that had nice works and Mary says he runs like he has wings. I think he might like longer routes but hoping he shows some promise. 2 60

Earnings for the night - $170,631 (includes bet winnings)

Wednessday Year 25 Week 10 10/07/09

Mixed breed racing night, only 10 running tonight.

Carry Me - 2-year-old Appy filly - slow, have her in a MSW with five others, running her at a new distance, adding 100 yards. 3 57

Cracklin Rosie - 2-year-old QH filly - Another slow one, running in a NW3 with two others, she's the maiden in the field. 1 64

Cresceus - 5-year-old trotter gelding - I think he's pretty much done, I still race him because I don't know what else to do with him, running in a NW3 in a full field. He's the oldest horse in the field. Mary Weather found him "unimpressive" so I guess he's done okay considering. 9 52

Hanover My Heart - 3-year-old trotter filly - She's not too quick, has three 2nds, everything else is off the board. Running in a MSW tonight with three others. Another that Mary felt was "unimpressive". 4 39

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old trotter filly - well, Mary felt this filly ran like she has wings yet she only has three 3rds to her name. She's running in a MSW with more talented runners. Mary thinks this one has wings. 4 47

Hotter Than Mojave - 2-year-old Appy colt - He's been stakes placed but still hasn't broken his maiden. Trying him long tonight in a MSW, he has good works I'm just hoping he likes the distance. Another that Mary feels has wings. 7 49

Iba - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Very slow, bought her mainly to be a filler, this is her second start for me, running in a 50K maiden claimer with three others. 2 31

Justin Credible - 2-year-old QH gelding - Another one I bought as a filler but he surprised me last out by winning with a 64 SF in an almost full field. This is his second start for me. Trying him at the same distance as last out in a NW3, only one other horse in the field so far. Looks like AJ is really late putting in her fillers. 1 66

Kasida - 5-year-old Arabian mare - One of the original mixers, she's done okay but hasn't ever been stakes placed, so I'm running her in a 50K stakes tonight. There's a few monsters in the field, plus it's not her best distance but she has three wins so I don't know what else to do with her. 7 70

Matter of Fact - 3-year-old trotter colt - He's been pretty consistent but hasn't had very inspiring speed figures. He's in a NW3 tonight with some that look better. Another that Mary feels has wings. 6 56

Earnings for the night - $18,550 (includes bet winnings)

Monday Year 25 Week 10 10/5/09

24 running tonight, some chasers, some fillers, a little of everything, I think.

Acamas - 4-year-old chaser gelding - MSW over a yielding course, which he isn't going to like but there's only two others in the race so he'll earn something. 2 58

Autochthoe - 2-year-old turf filly - well bred but really slow. She's running in a 45K NW2 claimer with four others. This will be her first earnings in three starts. 3 48

Con Tigo - 2-year-old turf router filly - First start, MSW in Brazil. Eight in the field, no placings. 4 40

Dreams of Venus - 2-year-old filly - I wanted to use her as a filler but someone else threw a sixth horse into the field. :/ 45K NW2 claimer, over a sloppy track. She's probably looking at a 6th place finish. 4 33

Earth to Mars - 6-year-old gelding that I just paid 1K for hoping he would turn out to like chasing but Mary Weather says no. So now I'll use him as a filler to get my money back. Running him in a 32K claimer with three others. Filler 4 26

Eris - 6-year-old chaser mare - 8 starts, 3 wins and one 3rd. She's running in a NW4 with three others in New Zealand. Don't think she'll like the wet going but the worse she can do is 4th. 2 70

Four Letter Word - 2-year-old gelding - Second start, NW2, five horse field. Filler
5 27

Gimme - 2-year-old gelding - Second start, 45K NW2 claimer, four horse field. Filler
4 16

Gremlin - 3-year-old dirt gelding - MSW, five horse field . Filler 3 47

Loki First - 3-year-old dirt router filly - First start for me, trying her at a long route in a MSW, not really sure what she'll do. 2 57

Love Bites - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, came in third in a full field last out, SF of 56, trying her in another MSW, six horse field in Mexico. If I'm lucky she'll make the top five, but I have my doubts. 1 60

Nuclear - 3-year-old dirt router colt - I already feel bad for this guy. If I had more time last week I might have entered him in this race earlier, but I just entered and shipped him yesterday and than realized it was a 13 hour ship. :/ Won last out with a 71 SF so I thought I'd try him in a soft stakes. Vetted him yesterday and the vet said race him or exercise him. Six horse field in Panama, he would be third best except I don't know how much the ship took out of him. Just had the vet look at him again - he says he's at his peak so I guess he may have bounced back from the ship. This is a 200K stakes so I'm really hoping he can get up for something. 3 54

Orlando - 4-year-old chaser gelding - MSW at his longest distance, competitive field for maidens, I have no idea how he'll do. 3 63

Osamu Riku - 2-year-0ld dirt gelding - Second start, MSW, five horse field. Filler

Only 14 runners tonight

Chief King - 3-year-old turf router gelding - Recent 1K purchase, running in a MSW, not expecting much really, he has a nice chaser pedigree so hoping to be able to use him next year. 6 26

Expedite - 3-year-old dirt sprinter colt - steward-bred who struggles in most of his starts. I'll parobably be gelding him right after this race. Running in a NW3 with comparable competition but that's never kept him from finishing at the back of the pack before. He might be able to get up in the mix at the end, but I'm not holding out any hopes. 7 34
