Friday Year 25 Week 9 10/02/09

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

Gotta Be Me - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Soon to become a filler, he's running in a 15K claimer with a full field, quite a few look better. 3 60

Last Love - 3-year-old gelding that I'm trying out on all weather for the first time tonight. MSW, almost a full field, others look more likely. 2 49

Little Bit - 2-year-old filly running in an allowance for her second start, five horse field, I'm expecting her to come in 4th or 5th. Filler 4 41

Pine Ridge - 2-year-old gelding running in an allowance for his first start, five horse field. Filler 4 44

Point Royale - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Running in a 15K claimer with a full field, no expectations. 7 46

Rose Manor - 4-year-old dirt miler filly - slow works, running in a starter allowance, four horse field. Filler 3 49

Silent Melody - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Running in a NW2, others look better but might get up for a check. 3 53

Sneak Around - 3-year-old dirt router gelding - Running in a sponsored NW2, five horse field, not a very strong field, at least he'll earn a check 2 60

Solongnotgoodnight - 2-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - running in a 100K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field so he's earning some money, finishing 3rd, 4th or 5th. 4 53

Sprint Magic - 3-year-old turf sprinter filly - Recent 1K purchase, probably better running in sprints, running in a 60K Grade 3 stakes, five horse field, she's definitely coming in last. 5 40

Stop Right There - 2-year-old dirt miler filly with slow works over all surfaces, this is her first start, she's running in a NW2 with three others. Filler 4 35

Winged Warrior - 3-year-old turf gelding - best speed figure has been a 52. Running in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field. Filler 5 38
