Monday Year 27 Week 5

Already week 5, SIM time is just flying by. 25 running tonight, originally 26 but one must have slipped into a AE after I went to bed last night and got scratched. And apparently she was the lucky one! Worse racing night in a long while for me.

Coffee in Bed - 3-year-old filly - Homebred, this is her second start on AW, she came in second in her first AW start, time to see if she really likes it or was just playing with me. 15K msw, ten horse field. 3 47

Dvoyeveriye - 5-year-old horse - A hard-knocker that always seems to try his best, I've only had him for three races and I keep forgetting to geld him. 10K allowance, nine horse field. two confirmed monsters, at least. 4 58

Elfin - 2-year-old filly - Homebred, second start, came in third first out (52), tonight it's another msw for 15K and a seven horse field. 4 51

Face Value - 4-year-old gelding - Homebred running in a 10K NW2, eleven horse field. He usually runs as a filler for me, so not sure how he'll do. 8 37

Garbo - 3-year-old filly - Homebred that I had high hopes for but fizzled pretty quickly. She may be just waiting for me to put her into longer races. She's running in a 75K listed stakes, six horse field. 5 45

Golden Warrior - 4-year-old filly - She's done pretty well so far, earning something in each of her eleven starts. Hopefully she can continue to do so tonight in this 15K NW2, eleven horse field. 6 45

Ipswich - 2-year-old filly - First start. She will probably prefer longer but thought she may as well get the workout and the experience. 45K claimer, four horse field and a purse of 12K. 4 43

Irish Flight - 3-year-old filly - A $10 AJ buy, sent off to GP with only one work and no starts. This is her second start, came in third first out for me. Her female line traces back to Glorious Song the dam of both Unsounded and War Song. Hoping she can do well in this 12K msw, eleven horse field. 9 26

Johnny Rocks - 2-year-old colt - Homebred, first start. Another that will probably prefer longer but thought might benefit from the race experience. 75K "Top of the Line" stakes, five horse field. 5 42

Keep Me Safe - 3-year-old filly - From one of the Mallory Claire dispersal auctions, this is her first start. Grand dam is Embrace. She's in a 12K msw for her first start, nine horse field. 4 49

Kindness - 4-year-old filly - I would like to see this girl finally break her maiden, I've used her as a filler a lot but her female line goes all the way back to Once Wed, dam of T M Awesome O. She's in a 10K msw, four horse field. 3 48

Meet Your Waterloo - 3-year-old colt - Homebred who has done pretty well for me. Winning one stakes and placing in another. Tonight he's running in the 75K New Mexico Derby against a tough field of nine other horses. I'm hoping he can be up there at the end. 6 51

Orlando - 6-year-old gelding - Not great at chasing but fills nicely. Tonight he's in a 15K NW4, five horse field. 4 61

Paper in Fire - 3-year-old gelding - Homebred that is a twin, neither he nor his sister have shown much potential. 15K msw, nine horse field. 6 35

Parsells - 2-year-old colt - Homebred, first start, also will like longer but running in a 15K NW2 claimer, five horse field and a purse of 12K. 5 40

Philadelphia Flyer - 7-year-old gelding - Had a decent flat career and has three starts chasing with one second place finish. Tonight he's in a 15K msw, ten horse field. 6 53

Point Royale - 5-year-old gelding - Didn't do well on the flats, hasn't done too well chasing, but is a decent filler. Running in a 12K NW2, five horse field. 5 55

Rockabilly Blues - 4-year-old filly - Second start for me, won last out. Female line traces back to Silverbulletday. Running in a 25K sponsored NW3, seven horse field.
4 48

Sad Eyes - 4-year-old filly - Homebred that failed on the flats, now trying steeplechasing. This is her second start over the hurdles in a 15K NW4, five horse field. 1 74

Say Uncle - 2-year-old filly - Homebred, first start, will also prefer longer. Trying her out in the 60K Head For The Hills Stakes, five horse field. 5 44

Sensual Hall - 5-year-old mare - Another $10 AJ horse, female line goes back to Skyscraper. I'm hoping to get her earnings up a bit this year. 15K NW2, ten horse field. 10 29

Shroom - 4-year-old filly - Homebred that keeps knocking on the door of getting her maiden win but it hasn't happened yet. Running in a 25K sponsored NW2, five horse field. Trying to see if the longer distance helps her at all, though she is outclassed here. 5 42

Ultimate Best - 2-year-old filly - Second start, won at first asking. It's a little tougher for her tonight in this 15K NW2, six horse field. All are winners. 4 52

You Need Your Head - 4-year-old colt - Homebred who has done well for me. Trying him tonight in the 150K Grade 2 Pakistan Derby where he should relish the longer distance but it's a really tough nine horse field, including one that just beat him last out in the Liari Cup. 6 48

Yumling - 2-year-old filly - First start, running in the 75K Carnival Stakes, five horse field. 5 41

Earnings for the night - $24,310 (includes breeder award for Sad Eyes)
