Wednesday Year 25 Week 12 10/21/09

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

Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Seven starts, OTB four times but still a maiden. MSW, ten horse field. 4 57

Justin Credible - 2-year-old QH gelding - I paid 5K for him off the sales page, he won his last two starts with decent SF's. Tonight he's in a NW3, three horse field.
2 61

Karim - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - CAH - slow 3K buy, third start for me, he's just about made his money back. MSW, four horse field. 1 50

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
