Monday, Week 1, Year 27

Back to the races, woohoo!! Monday, Wednesday and Fridays have just not been the same without racing! So glad it's back! 35 running tonight, some 2-year-old sprinters, some of last years horses and some new ones bought cheap so I can decide if they stay or if they go!

Along for the Ride - 6-year-old dirt route horse - First start for me, one of the new $10 horses so I'm not really expecting too much from him. Trying him at a long route in a 10K MSW, seven horse field. He only has three lifetime starts, so I'll try him at a few different distances to see if he's got any good racing in him. 4 40

American Dixie - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - First start, not a homebred but one I bought at auction for 50K who has had decent works and wings. Running in a 15K MSW with a full field, her workout times should make her fairly competitive with this group. 4 55

Arctic Heat - 3-year-old dirt mile colt - Homebred out of a CAM, he galloped with wings, has one win, a second and a fourth place finish in three starts. Tonight he's running in a 20K NW3, five horse field where only one horse has two wins. So far his top SF has been a 64. There are at least three that have had better speed figures.
4 55


Big Red Is Best - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Another recent $10 purchase, a CAH that was never raced. She's running in a 75K claimer with a 10K purse and a seven horse field. She galloped as "hard to tell". 4 44

Cherry Tree Lane - 3-year-old turf sprint filly - She hasn't raced since week 11 so I put her into this short sprint 10K MSW even though she seems to prefer a bit longer. It was what was available for her in South America where she has been stabled. Best SF has only been a 50. Seven horse field. 2 56

Eat and Run - 3-year-old dirt sprint colt - One of my HTT homebreds, he's hit the board three times out of five but still needs to break his maiden. Tonight he's running in a 15K NW2, five horse field. His best SF has only been a 59 which won't be enough to get it done here. 5 43

Face Value - 4-year-old any turf gelding - One of my earlier HTT homebreds that usually runs as a filler in South America. Best SF has been a 53. Tonight he's running in a 10K sprint MSW, three horse field. 1 54

First Extreme - 3-year-old dirt mile filly - Homebred (HTT) from a free mare lease that has been disappointing so far. Trying her at a mile for the first time tonight, in a 40K claimer with a 12K purse and an eleven horse field. Best SF thus far has been a 56. 11 19

Folk - 4-year-old dirt mile filly - Another early homebred (HTT) that has one win and two seconds in eight starts. Best SF has been a 57 and I use her more as a filler than anything. Tonight she's in a 25K sponsored NW4, four horse field including stablemate She's A Runner. 3 47

Golden Warrior - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Originally purchased for 50K as a yearling, she has four OTB finishes in nine starts but has made money in every start. Earnings are 57K, so she has at least earned back her purchase price. Coming off of a win over a muddy track with her highest SF of 66. Prefers the slop but couldn't find one for her tonight. She's running in a 25K sponsored NW3, five horse field at a marathon distance. 2 59

I Do What I Want - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Another early homebred (HTT), three OTB finishes in six starts but no wins, usually filling, best SF has been a 57. Running in a 20K MSW, six horse field. 3 51

Incite - 5-year-old chase horse - New $10 purchase, first start for me and first start chasing. Running in a 40K listed stakes, six horse field. Hasn't raced since week 12 of year 24. 5 64

Inthistwilight - 4-year-old any dirt filly - Will probably be her last race for me, I was only holding onto her to see if she might like chasing but she didn't. Tonight she's in a 20K allowance, five horse field. Her best SF has been a 42. 5 41

Isaidineedsomspace - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - Originally purchased as a yearling for 5K, she's earned just shy of 30K and has one win and one third in four starts with the third coming in a Grade 2 stakes. Galloped with wings, best SF has been a 62. She's currently the leading earner for her sire - which probably isn't saying a lot. Tonight she's in a 75K listed stakes, four horse field, where she is probably outclassed. 3 58

Let There Be Love - 5-year-old turf sprint mare - Yet another $10 horse, only has three starts that she finished last in each one, thought she might make a chaser but didn't. She seems to be bred for dirt but has done so badly on dirt that I put her in a 15K MSW on turf with a four horse field. She has a tiny bit of turf in her pedigree. Hasn't raced since year 24. This will probably be her only race for me. 4 25

Loquacious Lark - 5-year-old dirt route horse - $10 purchase, has one win and one second in eight starts. Hasn't raced since the middle of year 25. Best SF was a 62 as a 2-year-old. Another that I was hoping would take to the jumps but didn't. He's running in a 15K NW2, ten horse field. 1 68

Matter of Trust - 4-year-old any dirt gelding - Another early homebred (HTT) that I've used mostly as a filler. Has one win and two thirds in nine starts. Best SF has been a 57, earnings just shy of 17K. He's running in a 125K Grade 3 stakes, five horse field, totally outclassed. 5 41

Miss Priceless Art - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - Purchased as a yearling for 50K, galloped with wings, had decent works. Running tonight in a 15K MSW with a full field. Had a decent AW work so if she doesn't do well on the turf I'll try switching her over. She has the best turf works in this group but ya just never know in races.
3 63


Nebettawy - 3-year-old dirt mile filly - Homebred who is coming off of a win in a 125K listed stakes with a high SF of 63. Tonight she's running in a 20K NW3, six horse field with none having more than one win. She should fit in with this group fairly well. Galloped HTT as a yearling and wings as a 2-year-old. 1 66

Norm - 3-year-old dirt sprint colt - Originally purchased as a 2K (HTT) yearling at auction. Has one win and a third and two fourth place finishes in four starts and earnings of a little over 18K. Best SF has been a 57. Tonight he's in a 50K listed stakes, four horse field, the other three have better speed figures. 4 50

Paper in Fire - 3-year-old AW gelding - Homebred (HTT) that was a twin. Hasn't done too well on dirt, trying him on AW for the first time tonight. On dirt his highest SF was a 48. Tonight he's running in a 32K maiden claimer with a nine horse field and a purse of 15K. 7 28

Personal Demon - 4-year-old turf mile gelding - Early homebred (HTT), has a win and a second in six starts, best SF is a 56. Running tonight in a 15K NW2, eleven horse field. 4 52

Philadelphia Flyer - 7-year-old chase gelding - Second start chasing in s 10K MSW, four horse field. Earned 98K on the flat with a highest SF of 68. Just noticed that he ran on Monday of week 16 - argh!! Hope he comes out of this okay. Vet says he's sound but shouldn't race for a few days. Double argh!!!!! How could I have not noticed that??? 2 61

Point Royale - 5-year-old chase gelding - Not that great on the flats and not that great chasing either. Originally a 10K purchase as a gelding. He's made over 30K so not too bad. Best chasing SF is 61. Running in a 75K Grade 3 stakes, four horse field.
4 52


San Francisco Mist - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - First race for me. $10 steward bred purchase, has six OTB finishes in ten starts. Best SF was a 62. Running in a 45K claimer with a eight horse field and a purse of 10K. 3 56

Sensual Hall - 5-year-old dirt route mare - $10 AJ purchase, first start for me. She has some really good breeding has one win and a third in only four starts. Running in a 15K allowance, five horse field. If she doesn't do well here I'll cut her back to a mile and see how she does. Best SF is a 58. 5 45

Shading - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Homebred that galloped with wings and had decent works, including one on AW. Running in a 12K MSW with a full field. 1 67

Shaedra - 4-year-old turf route gelding - Running in a 15K NW2 with a full field. Should have probably looked for a softer spot for him. Best SF is a 62. 2 62
