Wednesday Year 25 Week 16 11/18/09

This is the last mixed breed racing night for Year 25. 19 running tonight.

Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Fairly consistent but not lightning fast. Stretching him out to 2 miles tonight in a sponsored 200K Grade 1 stakes, eight horse field, over a sloppy track. He's run once before at this distance and finished fourth. There's a lot of really good horses in this field, I won't be surprised if he finishes out of the money.
7 64

Colour of Love - 4-year-old Paint colt - First start for me. He's only ever run at 870 yards, I wanted to try him at a new distance but there wasn't anything available. He's running in a sponsored 75K stakes, three horse field. 3 58

Cracklin' Rosie - 2-year-old QH filly - Not very fast but usually holds her own in a small field. Tonight she's running in an allowance at a longer distance, three horse field. 3 50

Docs Buck'n Baby - 2-year-old trotter filly - Second start for me, not a very quick filly despite getting the wings comment from MW. She's running in a MSW, nine horse field. 3 55

Dream Eater - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - She's running in a NW2, full field, I expect she'll finish at the back of the pack. 11 60

Faiza - 6-year-old Arabian mare - I sponsored a Grade 3 stakes for her to try and boost her earnings since she missed so much time racing, three horse field so she'll earn something. 1 75

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old trot filly - Still a maiden after ten starts, despite getting the wings comment, running in a MSW, four horse field, and I still don't think she'll break her maiden. 2 41

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old trot gelding - He's running in a 50K sponsored stakes, eight horse field, if I'm really lucky he'll get up for a small piece of it but I doubt it.
4 60

Iba - 4-year-old Arabian filly - Bought her as a filler and she serves her purpose. Tonight she's running in a 15K claimer, four horse field. 3 35

Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Running in a NW4, three horse field, she's the only maiden, I'm expecting her to come in last. 3 57

Kasida - 5-year-old Arabian mare - I sponsored a 75K stakes for her, I'll probably retire her after this race, seven horse field, it doesn't look like she'll win but hopefully she gets up for a piece of it at the end. 2 69

Likes Kids - 2-year-old Appy gelding - First start for me. Running him at a new distance in a 150K sponsored stakes, four horse field. He's the only maiden. 3 61

Mooby - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Really a filler but more horses entered this race and I just decided to run him anyway. MSW, six horse field. 2 50

Oxiclean - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Another that I usually run as a filler but decided to let him run the race after more horses entered. MSW, seven horse field.
1 55

Quickerthanfire - 2-year-old QH gelding - Second start for me, another filler, running in an allowance, three horse field. 1 52

Rare Lil Maverick - 3-year-old Paint filly - Another filler, running in a sponsored 150K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. 5 54

Speak for Yourself - 4-year-old trot filly - CAH - Running in a NW4, eleven horse field, I don't expect her to do well and will probably retire her right after this race.
5 59

White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH - Running in a sponsored MSW, full field. Not sure how she'll do, there are a lot of AJ/Steward sale horses in this race.

Zia - 4 - year-old Arabian filly - Recently purchased at a broodmare sale by the Steward and AJ. Running in a sponsored MSW with six others from the sale. 4 49
