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)
