Monday Year 27 Week 4

43 running tonight, a mixed bag. I expect to still be getting some up and down results.

Acamas - 6-yeaqr-old chase gelding - Not very good on the flats, not very good over the jumps. Running in a 10K NW2, eleven horse field. 11 37

Arctic Heat - 3-year-old dirt mile colt - Homebred out of a CAM, galloped with wings, had good works - very disappointing so far. There's a chance he will get better as he gets older, right now he just makes me sad. Tonight he's in a 15K NW2, eleven horse field. 6 50

Autochthoe - 4-year-old turf sprint filly - Still trying to break her maiden, she's come close a few times. Running in a 10K msw, seven horse field. Looks like she might have a shot here. 4 48

Barefoot Dancer - 3-year-old AW filly - Every other race I swear I'm going to dump her but she's still with me. She's been okay as a filler, but I always think she would do better for someone else. Tonight she's running in a sponsored 22.5K maiden claimer, five horse field, 10K purse. 3 49

Best Be There - 3-year-old dirt sprint colt - Homebred, galloped with wings, he either wins or finishes off the board, though he still collects a check, so far. Has two wins in six starts, four fourth place finishes. Tonight he's in a 15K NW3, nine horse competitive field. 3 57

Brighter - 3-year-old dirt mile filly - She's a pretty reliable filler so far, probably a good lower level allowance horse. I like her better as a good filler, though. Tonight she's running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. She might have a shot at hitting the board here. 4 50

Broado - 5-year-old AW mile mare - I would retire her to the shed but she just started running on AW at the end of last year and she improved on it. I was running her in routes but I'm trying her at a mile as she just doesn't quite get there even in the shorter routes. Running in a 12K NW3, nine horse field. 3 50

Captured By Style - 4-year-old dirt filly - Really a not very good filler, trying her in a race with a fuller field. Her dam side is decent. Not expecting much. 15K msw, seven horse field. 4 43

Chickesaw - 4-year-old AW route filly - Seems to be doing better on the AW. Sponsored this restricted 25K NW3 for her, three others showed up. She'll be going to the breeding shed at the end of the year so trying to get her earnings up a bit more. Just noticing that this is the third race I have sponsored for this horse. I think I may give her one more spin on the dirt at a longer distance, since she has only run short routes on dirt and she seems to prefer longer distances. Best SF is 64 (dirt). 1 61

Circumscription - 3-year-old AW mile filly - First start for me, $10 AJ horse, had a nice AW work so thought I'd give her a shot here in a race I sponsored and it quickly filled up. 25K msw, full field. 5 44

Crawl - 4-year-old dirt sprint filly - Fairly reliable runner, tonight she's in a 15K NW3, ten horse field. 5 51

Crystal Moonlight - 3-year-old turf route filly - Trying her at a longer route in a 50K claimer, eleven horse field and a 15K purse. She seems to improve with each added distance. 3 54

Culp's Hill - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Usually a filler, running tonight in a 40K claimer with a six horse field including stablemate Pay the Piper and a 12K purse.
5 42

Derby Hat - 5-year-old dirt route mare - Another getting ready for the shed! Tonight she's in a 25K allowance, five horse field, with monsters. 5 49

Ease of Motion - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - First start, running in a 15K msw, four horse field. 3 54

Hold Your Horses - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - Homebred, HTT, trying him at a route in this 15K allowance, five horse field with two winners and three maidens.
3 49

I Do What I Want - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Homebred, HTT, seems to be improving some with age. Running in a 15K msw, ten horse field. 5 43

Pay the Piper - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - Homebred, running in the same race as Culp's Hill. 4 48
