*I have 29 running tonight, except for the fillers I don't really know what to expect. Lots of fillies running tonight, that's for sure.
And She Was - 3-year-old turf filly - Steady filler in a 25K sponsored NW2, five horse field. One winner and four fillers in the field - hard to say how they'll fall at the end. 3 49
Autochthoe - 3-year-old turf filly - She's running in a Grade 3 100K stakes, five horse field, two winners, three maidens. 4 43
Capitulation - 4-year-old turf route filly - I don't remember entering her in this race and should have paid better attention as she just raced last Friday. Hope she comes through okay. I'll have to put something in her notes to rest her extra weeks if she comes through this in one piece. She's running in a 50K sponsored, restricted stakes, four horse field. 3 48
Chickesaw - 3-year-old dirt route filly - She's running in a 200K Grade 1 stakes, five horse field, it's a pretty sure bet she'll come in last. She's not one I usually use as a filler but the money was too good in this race. 5 47
Comebackhome - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Recent $100 purchase, first start for me, this is her first route race too. She's running in a 20K MSW, seven horse field. Not really sure if she'll like the added distance or not but figured it was worth a shot.
7 29
Crystal Moonlight - 2-year-old turf filly - First start. Recent 2K purchase, I have a feeling she'll become a filler so she is in a 12K NW3, five horse field. Three are one time winners, she the only one with no starts. 5 38
Dalensaul - 2-year-old turf sprint gelding - Filler running in a 75K stakes, five horse field, two are one time winners, the rest are maidens. 5 39
Derby Hat - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a 20K NW2, seven horse field, they're all one time winners so not sure how she'll do. 4 53
Disbelieving - 3-year-old dirt mile colt - Recent 2K purchase, he's been running in routes, this is his first start at a mile, also his first start for me. He's in a 20K MSW, seven horse field. 7 33
He Rules - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - He's running in a mile 5K sponsored, restricted claimer, three horse field and a purse of 10K, running him back a little sooner than I would usually but the small field is what fillers are all about. 2 40
Hold Your Horses - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Except that I'm starting him out at 7F in a 15K allowance, five horse field, he's the only first time starter. His works weren't great, just okay, so I thought I'd try him out a little shorter. 5 45
Holiday Road - 4-year-old dirt route filly - $10 purchase. Running in a 20K MSW, nine horse field. She made over 1K in her last race so has at least paid for herself pretty well. Decided to see what she does in a larger field. 3 50
Isaidineedsomspace - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Second start, won first out with a 62, I entered her in this 100K listed stakes as a filler, but as happens sometimes, a sixth horse showed up. All but one horse is a one time winner, all but the maiden have better speed figures so not sure if he'll make any money tonight or not. 4 54
Joyful Bliss - 3-year-old turf filly - Filler running in a 25K MSW in Japan, five horse field. They're all struggling maidens so no idea how it will play out. 5 31
Lapis Lazuli - 4-year-old turf filly - Second start for me, finished second in her first time out in my stable. She's running in a 15K MSW, ten horse field, not expecting too much here at all. 5 37
Lazy Eye - 4-year-old dirt gelding - $10 purchase that has earning nothing in his first two starts for me. Tonight he's in a 12K MSW, five horse field. 3 45
Little Bit - 3-year-old mixed up filly - Really a filler she just doesn't seem to like any surface, tonight she's trying turf for the first time, 20K MSW, five horse field. 5 20
Making Money - turf mile gelding - He's running in a 40K allowance, eleven horse field. He's the second leading money maker but he's also the second oldest in the field. This is his first race for this year. 8 41
Midnightdancer - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - Second start for me, running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. 1 59
Night Race - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - I sponsored a 25K NW2 for her, I rarely sponsor TB races, assuming that if they don't do well in other races odds are they are only filler quality. This horse has some nice breeding, wings, plus when she broke her maiden she got a 67 SF but hasn't done anything in her next two races. Ten horse field. 1 66
Norm - 2-year-old dirt colt - Should eventually be a miler, this is his second start, won first out in a NW2 (57), tonight he's in a 100K listed stakes, five horse field. Only one maiden here and one two time winner. 3 51
Rampant Sands - 3-year-old dirt filly - First start for me, recent 1K purchase. She's running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. Three winners and another filler type. 4 39
Savage Run - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - Second start, came in third first time out in a claimer (54), tonight he's in 12K NW3, six horse field. Three winners, one first time starter. 4 48
Summer Pleasure - 4-year-old turf filly - One of my better fillers running in a 100K Grade 3 stakes, five horse field. All winners except for one obvious maiden filler. She's outclassed here but will still bring home a check. 4 45
The Treasure Hunt - 3-year-old turf filly - She's running in a 20K allowance, five horse field, she's the only maiden. 4 46
Tiger Rag - 4-year-old dirt route filly - A bit of an enigma, running in a 15K NW2, full field. Hard to tell, all of these horses are struggling. 5 47
Trundle - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Second start, won first out in a maiden claimer (63). Tonight she's in a 12K NW2, six horse field. 3 52
War Tribute - 4-year-old dirt filly - First start for me, running in a 25K sponsored allowance, four horse field. 4 41
Wild Ginger - 3-year-old filly - Regular filler running in a sponsored 100K listed stakes, five horse field. 5 33
Earnings for the night - $95,210 (includes breeder awards for two homebreds I sold last year)

Wednesday Year 26 Week 6 01/13/10
*Mixed breed racing night, 22 running, a few nice horses, more fillers than not, and a couple that drive me crazy.
As'ad - 7-year-old Arabian horse - This is his first race back since being injured in week 1. I sponsored a Grade 3 for him, really as a test to see if he's still running strong or given it up. I'm hoping he's as good to go as before the injury. This race is for 125K, five other horses have shown up, all very good, and one real monster. I'm not really expecting a win here (though of course I would love one!) but I just want to see how he does post-injury. 5 64 :(
Back Off - 7-year-old QH gelding - I sponsored a 25K NW5 for the old guy, two others entered, so everybody will make some money. 1 67
Cuts Like A Knife - 4-year-old QH colt - He's so frustrating to me but I've just decided to go with it and enter him wherever and if he does well fine, if not fine. He's running in a 10K allowance tonight, eleven horse field. If he feels like it, he may do well, if not he'll finish off the board. 5 61
Double Change - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Unimpressive runner but earns his keep as a filler. Tonight he's running in a sponsored, restricted 25K NW5, five horse field. 5 43
East New Yorker - 3-year-old pace gelding - Recent purchase off the sales page for $100, running tonight in a 12K MSW, four horse field. 2 51
Flash of Fire - 3-year-old trot colt - He's running in a Grade 1 150K stakes tonight, rather ambitious, against some that have beaten him before but it's only a four horse field and the money was too good to pass up. 4 64
Hotter Than Mojave - 3-year-old Appy colt - I sponsored a 75K listed stakes for him, I think I may have his distance thing figured out - but I'm not really sure, five horse field. Some pretty good horses in this field, not sure how he'll do. 4 60
Just Another Smile - 4-year-old pace filly - CAH - Basically a filler, she's running in a 12K NW2, four horse field. 4 54
Malika Badiya - 5-year-old Arabian mare - She's running in a 10K claimer, five horse field and a purse of 12K. 2 50
Marengo - 4-year-old Arabian colt - He's running in a 75K sponsored stakes, eight horse field, some really good ones and I don't think this is his best distance so I'll be pleasantly surprised if he earns anything against this group. 8 59
Mayday - 3-year-old Appy filly - One of my regular fillers running in a 10K MSW, three horse field. 3 40
Mooby - 4-year-old Appy gelding - Another regular filler, running in a sponsored 10K NW2 claimer with a purse of 10K, three horse field. Only one winner in the field.
2 47
Nitey - 4-year-old Appy gelding - $10 purchase, running in a 25K sponsored NW4, four horse field. 3 61

Puzzle Book - 4-year-old Appy gelding - $1 purchase. Unimpressive filler running in a sponsored, restricted 5K claimer, five horse field and a purse of 10K. 5 46
Quickerthanfire - 3-year-old QH gelding - Another unimpressive filler running in a sponsored 50K stakes, five horse field. 5 33
Rare Lil Maverick - 4-year-old Paint filly - Filler running in a sponsored 15K NW2 claimer, four horse field, 10K purse. 1 59
Red Mustang - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Recent $10 purchase. I had him in a different race as a filler but too many horses showed up so I switched him to this 10K MSW, eight horse field. 4 40
Solar Shadow - 2-year-old QH filly - First start. She's running in a 10K NW2, three horse field, she's the only first time starter. 2 52
Treasure Ransom - 3-year-old Paint gelding - Filler running in a 50K listed stakes, three horse field. 3 35
Two Bits - 6-year-old Paint gelding - I sponsored a restricted 25K NW2 for him, eight others showed up, it'll be interesting to see if he can get up for a piece of the purse. If not, it's okay, I like him anyway. 3 62
Zhentico - 4-year-old Appy gelding - Second start for me, running in a sponsored 10K NW3 claimer, three horse field and a purse of 10K. 3 57

Monday Year 26 Week 6 01/11/10
*41 running tonight, getting some of my unraced or rarely raced steeplechasers out and about, plus the usual fillers and a few that I just threw into some races for the heck of it.
Anger Issues - 4-year-old chase mare - $10 purchase.Second start for me and her second start over the hurdles, came in fourth first time out with an unimpressive 61 SF. Tonight she's in a 10K MSW at a shorter distance, ten horse field. Hasn't raced since week 1. 3 52
Astral Queen - 5-year-old chase mare - She injured a stifle in week 1 coming in second in a MSW. Tonight she's back in action in a 12K MSW, eight horse field. She's not terribly fast so I'm not really expecting too much here. 4 56
Big Country Fun - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - He's becoming a regular filler for me, running in a 10K MSW, three horse field. 1 55
Can't Stop The Sun - 2-year-old AW filly - First start, she'll (hopefully) be more of a miler+ type horse but starting her off in a 6 1/2 F 50K listed stakes, five horse field to see if she takes to the AW at all, she had pretty good works over all three surfaces, not lightning fast on any but leaning more towards AW and dirt. Three of the horses in this race have already won one with decent speed figures. I'll be happy if she shows any effort at all. 4 38
Dreaming Mojave - 4-year-old chase filly - Third start for me, second start chasing, second first time out with a speed figure of 77. Tonight she's in a 20K MSW, nine horse field. 2 75
Epic Farewell - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Steward-bred He's running tonight in a 75K listed stakes, nine horse field. He may be over his head here but he hasn't raced since week 2 so needs to stretch his legs. I'll probably drop him to allowances again soon. 8 36 :(
Euridice - 3-year-old turf filly - Usually she runs as a filler for me but a sixth horse showed up and I decided to let her run since this is only a 12K MSW, six horse field.
1 57
Expedite - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - Steward-bred. He'll probably be a filler soon, he's gotten the "flattened out" comment in his last three races. so I'm thinking he's lost any edge he had. Most of his siblings seem to have tailed off after their 3-year-old seasons. Running tonight in a 25K sponsored NW4, six horse field. 5 48
Feasibly - 4-year-old dirt mile gelding - Usual filler running in a 50K claimer with a purse of 15K and a full field. He hasn't raced since week 1 so I thought I'd try him with a fuller field and see how he does. Just for the heck of it. 9 35
Foot the Bill - 4-year-old chase filly - First start for me, just paid 1K for her last week, second start over the jumps. Has a 7th place finish in her first test under her old owner. Thought I'd give her a try. She's in a 20K MSW, full field, no idea how she'll do. Stripped off all of the gobs of equipment and just left the lasix since she's had it for a while. After this she'll probably go to New Zealand and some lighter fields.
9 41
Golden Warrior - 3-year-old dirt route filly - She hasn't broken her maiden in four starts but she's been knocking on the door. Tonight she's in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field. I don't think she'll be breaking her maiden here as I think she'll want to go farther than this short route. 4 49
Haunted By Night - 4-year-old dirt route filly - She has six OTB placings in ten starts, fairly consistent. Tonight she's in a very long route, 12K starter allowance, three horse field, one of the other horses is one of my good long distance fillers. Everyone will earn something in this race, not sure how she'll end up since I think it is a little long for her. 3 52
Holder Hall - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - DTD. He's running in a 32K claimer with a full field and a 10K purse. 3 55
Icarus Flight - 4-year-old dirt filly - She's running in a 75K listed stakes, originally as a filler but at the last minute a sixth horse showed up - she's probably hopelessly outclassed in this field. I can always hope for a miracle! 6 35
Impala - 3-year-old filly - Strictly a filler, she's running in a 12K MSW, five horse field. 5 13
Journey's End - 5-year-old dirt mile gelding - $10 purchase Second start fror me, running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. 4 39
Let Faith Guide - 5-year-old chase gelding - One win in four starts, this is his first start for this year. He's running in a 15K NW2 with a full field of other one time winners. 5 64
Loki First - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Running tonight in a 10K MSW, four horse field. She has a shot, I think. 1 65
Magnet X - 4-year-old dirt route filly - $10 purchase. Second start for me, running in a 50K claimer with a 10K purse, ten horse field. Just to see if she has anything at all. 10 15
Matter of Trust - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Filler running in a 15K NW2, four horse field, only one winner in this field. 4 39
Naskra's Luck - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - $10 purchase, second start for me. Running in a 25K maiden claimer with a 12K purse and a nine horse field. 3 54
Never Left Behind - 3-year-old AW mile filly - First start for me, gift filly that I think may be a sprinter at heart and hopefully likes AW, this is her first start on it but she seems to have hated the dirt. She's running in a 12K MSW with a full field. I'm just hoping to see a decent effort out of her. Running her with no equipment too, so I can see just what she does. 11 12
Night Melodies - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - Second start, running in a sponsored 25K MSW, eight horse field. 6 42
Nuclear - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Fairly consistent, running in a sponsored 75K listed stakes, four horse field. He usually likes longer but he'll earn something here.
2 64
Orlando - 5-year-old chase gelding - He has five OTB finishes in eight starts but none have them been for a win. Tonight he's in a 10K MSW, six horse field. 1 70
Personal Days - 4-year-old chase filly - $10 purchase, second start for me and second start over the hurdles. She's running in a 20K MSW with a full field. 4 62
Personal Demon - 3-year-old turf mile gelding - Running in a restricted 15K MSW, seven horse field. 1 56
Point Royale - 4-year-old chase gelding - Second start chasing, running in a 10K MSW, six horse field. 3 46
Reach the World - 6-year-old chase mare - She has eight OTB finishes chasing out of eleven starts, three of them are wins. I think her best SF was only a 77, though. Tonight she's in a 25K claimer, six horse field and a purse of 12K. There's a few others that look like they might be better. 3 66
Scotland Winds - 3-year-old turf mile filly - Third start for me, I bought her at auction for 5K and she won a Grade 3 the first time out - not a terribly impressive feat considering her SF was only 58 in that race. Tonight she's running in a 15K classified allowance, three horse field. 3 55
Serenity Prevails - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - Filler running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. None of these horses are any good so it's a toss up. 1 61
Silent Auction - 3-year-old turf sprint gelding - Second start for me, first at a sprint (ran at a mile and routes previously). Running in a 12K MSW, five horse field. 3 47
Silent Melody - 4-year-old chase gelding - Second start chasing, came in second first time out, tonight he's running in a 100K listed stakes, six horse field. Another one where he would have been a filler but someone else entered at the last minute.
6 53
Songs About Rain - 6-year-old chase mare - She's running in a 12K NW3, ten horse field. This is her first race of the year. I've decided to take off all of her equipment except lasix for the first time. 7 40
Strange Meeting - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Filler running in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field. Two winners, the others all seem to be fillers. 4 45

Tonight she's in a very long route, 12K starter allowance, three horse field, one of the other horses is one of my good long distance fillers. Everyone will earn something in this race, not sure how she'll end up since I think it is a little long for her. 3 52
Holder Hall - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - DTD. He's running in a 32K claimer with a full field and a 10K purse. 3 55
Icarus Flight - 4-year-old dirt filly - She's running in a 75K listed stakes, originally as a filler but at the last minute a sixth horse showed up - she's probably hopelessly outclassed in this field. I can always hope for a miracle! 6 35
Impala - 3-year-old filly - Strictly a filler, she's running in a 12K MSW, five horse field. 5 13
Journey's End - 5-year-old dirt mile gelding - $10 purchase Second start fror me, running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. 4 39
Let Faith Guide - 5-year-old chase gelding - One win in four starts, this is his first start for this year. He's running in a 15K NW2 with a full field of other one time winners. 5 64
Loki First - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Running tonight in a 10K MSW, four horse field. She has a shot, I think. 1 65
Magnet X - 4-year-old dirt route filly - $10 purchase. Second start for me, running in a 50K claimer with a 10K purse, ten horse field. Just to see if she has anything at all. 10 15
Matter of Trust - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Filler running in a 15K NW2, four horse field, only one winner in this field. 4 39
Naskra's Luck - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - $10 purchase, second start for me. Running in a 25K maiden claimer with a 12K purse and a nine horse field. 3 54
Never Left Behind - 3-year-old AW mile filly - First start for me, gift filly that I think may be a sprinter at heart and hopefully likes AW, this is her first start on it but she seems to have hated the dirt. She's running in a 12K MSW with a full field. I'm just hoping to see a decent effort out of her. Running her with no equipment too, so I can see just what she does. 11 12
Night Melodies - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - Second start, running in a sponsored 25K MSW, eight horse field. 6 42
Nuclear - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Fairly consistent, running in a sponsored 75K listed stakes, four horse field. He usually likes longer but he'll earn something here.
2 64
Orlando - 5-year-old chase gelding - He has five OTB finishes in eight starts but none have them been for a win. Tonight he's in a 10K MSW, six horse field. 1 70
Personal Days - 4-year-old chase filly - $10 purchase, second start for me and second start over the hurdles. She's running in a 20K MSW with a full field. 4 62
Personal Demon - 3-year-old turf mile gelding - Running in a restricted 15K MSW, seven horse field. 1 56
Point Royale - 4-year-old chase gelding - Second start chasing, running in a 10K MSW, six horse field. 3 46
Reach the World - 6-year-old chase mare - She has eight OTB finishes chasing out of eleven starts, three of them are wins. I think her best SF was only a 77, though. Tonight she's in a 25K claimer, six horse field and a purse of 12K. There's a few others that look like they might be better. 3 66
Scotland Winds - 3-year-old turf mile filly - Third start for me, I bought her at auction for 5K and she won a Grade 3 the first time out - not a terribly impressive feat considering her SF was only 58 in that race. Tonight she's running in a 15K classified allowance, three horse field. 3 55
Serenity Prevails - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - Filler running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. None of these horses are any good so it's a toss up. 1 61
Silent Auction - 3-year-old turf sprint gelding - Second start for me, first at a sprint (ran at a mile and routes previously). Running in a 12K MSW, five horse field. 3 47
Silent Melody - 4-year-old chase gelding - Second start chasing, came in second first time out, tonight he's running in a 100K listed stakes, six horse field. Another one where he would have been a filler but someone else entered at the last minute.
6 53
Songs About Rain - 6-year-old chase mare - She's running in a 12K NW3, ten horse field. This is her first race of the year. I've decided to take off all of her equipment except lasix for the first time. 7 40
Strange Meeting - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Filler running in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field. Two winners, the others all seem to be fillers. 4 45
Swamper - 5-year-old dirt route mare - $10 purchase, third start for me, won her first two starts for me. Tonight she's in a 12K starter allowance, three horse field.
2 58
Thirdstarinthecrux - 4-year-old chase filly - $10 purchase. Second start chasing running in a 10K MSW and a full field. 7 47
Tuxedo Mask - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Filler running in a 15K MSW, three horse field, this will probably be his last race for me. 3 33
Weird - 6-year-old chase mare - Seven starts chasing, four OTB placings, one win. Tonight she's in a 15K NW2, full field, not her best distance. First start for the year.
6 57
White River - 4-year-old chase filly - Second start chasing, running in a 20K MSW and a full field. 10 38
You Need Your Head - 3-year-old turf route colt - Running in a 100K sponsored listed stakes, five horse field. One monster in the field. This might be a little long for him. 1 68

Friday Year 26 Week 5 01/08/10
*I broke the million dollar mark for earnings for the year on Wednesday night, which was also the day my last injured horse from the beginning of the year finally came off the injured reserve list!
*19 running tonight, it was rather slim pick'ens so not really expecting too much out of tonights horses, though there is still the usual fillers.
Best Be There - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - Homebred, this is his second start, he won first out with a SF of 61. He's running in a 75K listed stakes, four horse field, all won their first starts, all with better speed figures than my guy. 4 55
Broado - 4-year-old turf route filly - Bought her for a dollar, this is her second start for me, the first one she showed nothing, if she still shows nothing in this one she'll probably be leaving the barn, eventhough she galloped with wings. Running in a 20K NW3, full field. It doesn't look like she has a shot at all. 10 20
Capitulation - 4-year-old turf route filly - This is her second start for me, came in third last out. Tonight she's in a 12K NW3, seven horse field, it doesn't look like she'll be bringing home a check this week. 3 55
Court Vision - 7-year-old turf gelding - This is his third start for me, he was a 1K purchase and actually has not paid me back yet. He should tonight as he's running in a 100K Grade 3 in Australia, five horse field. This will probably be his last start for me. 5 39
Double Decker - 3-year-old turf sprint gelding - Second start for me, came in fifth first out, only filler potential really, I think. However, tonight he's running in a 20K MSW in Kenya, eight horse field, most of the others look better. 5 40
Joyride - 3-year-old turf sprint filly - She's running as a filler in a 150K Grade 2 stakes in Singapore, five horse field. 4 47
Kindness - 3-year-old turf route filly - A regular filler for me, running in a 40K listed stakes in Turkey, five horse field. The pay out isn't that good but she needed a race.
5 33
Mean Joe - 3-year-old dirt gelding - This is his first start for me and his first start for this year. He's running in a 17K MSW at Desert Oasis Park, four horse field. It's at a long route that I don't think is going to favor him. 3 40
Mississippi River - 4-year-old dirt route filly - I paid 1K for her on the sales page in order to help fill a 100K stakes and much to my surprise she won it - with a SF of 52! I kept her as a filler since she seems to enjoy it. She's running in a 12K classified allowance, two horse field. Unless there is some sort of fluke happening she'll be second. 2 53
Nitro Nightmare - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - Second start for me, running in a 125K Grade 3, five horse field, I'm pretty sure she'll going to be fifth. First time on lasix. 5 48
Not Once But Twice - 4-year-old dirt sprint filly - A $10 horse bought to be a filler, she's running in a restricted 20K MSW, turf mile race, five horse field. 5 21
Pillar Point - 2-year-old turf gelding - Unimpressive baby that I bought for $10, this is his second start, came in fifth first out. Tonight he's running in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field where he'll probably be fifth again. 5 34
Shootout - 6-year-old turf sprint gelding - A little long in the tooth but I like to run him every once in a while. He's in a 75K listed stakes, full field, he's the main money earner in the field but there's only one older. 6 45
Sprint Magic - 4-year-old turf filly - Filler that broke her maiden last out. She's running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. 5 24
Stepping Out - 4-year-old turf gelding - Bred to be a router but has had only marginal success, cutting him back to a mile 12K NW3 in Hong Kong, eight horse field, he may do better than last but I don't think he's going to be earning anything.
8 37
The Darkest Noir - 3-year-old turf route filly - Usually a filler that for some reason I threw into a 30K claimer with a full field and a 17K purse. 5 42
Violation - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - One of my DTD horses from my newbie year, only mediocre as a runner. Tonight he's in a 12K NW3, seven horse field, if I'm lucky he'll get up for a piece of the purse but I'm not counting on it. 5 42
Warm Heart - 2-year-old turf filly - First start, she should be a router but she had an okay 3F work as a yearling so I thought I'd try her at a sprint first out. She's in a sponsored 50K listed stakes, five horse field. Everyone else has won a race. 4 46
Zeppoli - 2-year-old turf filly - First start, another that is bred to be a router but I'm starting out in a sprint, 50K listed stakes, five horse field. 4 41
Earnings for the night - $37,470

Wednesday Year 26 Week 5 01/06/10
*It's been an interesting week so far. I was happy to see that one of Midnight Tornado's foals "Tornado Fury" owned by Regina Moore, a colt out of her mare Kenora made it into Tanitha Starlett's top 20 fastest working trotter yearlings with a time of 1:55.30.
*There was a big Steward-bred auction last night that I got shut out of. I was a little disappointed but not too much as most of the ones I really liked were going for higher prices than I wanted to pay, plus I paid enough in the last one to last me through a few of the auctions. They'll be another one opening in a little over nine days anyway.
*Mixed breed racing night! 23 running tonight, there should be a lot of fillers in here as there seemed to be a lot of small fields for tonights races.
Amal - 6-year-old Arabian mare - She has eight starts and only one third place finish, unimpressive is an understatement, I guess. Tonight she's running in a 25K sponsored NW5, four horse field. 4 13
Blind Unicorn - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Second start for me, another unimpressive filler horse, running in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 4 7
C. E. Hashim - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - Second start, yet another unimpressive horse that I bought for 1K to run in a MSW where he was the only horse, so he paid for himself four times over right away. He only made a 43 SF running against no one, though. Tonight he's running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. 5 43
Canyon Creek - 4-year-old Appy gelding - One of the $10 horses that made ten times his purchase price first out for me - however, he is unimpressive too, and thus, another filler. This is his second start for me in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 3 27
Cartecay - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Though he is also an unimpressive filler that I purchased for 1K, he's already made me 16K in the three starts since I've had him. Tonight it's a 10K MSW, three horse field. 3 41
Corona Effects - 2-year-old QH filly - First start, running in a 10K NW2, three horse field. 1 64
Cracklin Rosie - 3-year-old QH filly - One of my better fillers running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. There's one monster and some other pretty good horses. 5 52
Doctor Johnny - 3-year-old trot gelding - A recent 1K purchase, this is his first start for me running in a 12K MSW, four horse field. 1 53
Drakar - 3-year-old trot gelding - Second start for me, paid $100 for him, he made $1200 first out. He's running in a 12K MSW, three horse field. 3 39
Dream Trail - 3-year-old trot gelding - Unimpressive trotter running in a sponsored NW4 10K claimer, three horse field and a 10K purse. 2 51
Dreamkeeper - 3-year-old trot filly - She's running in a 50K listed stakes, four horse field, one monster, one first time starter, the first place finisher is obvious - the placings are up for grabs, though. 2 60
Flash Gordon - 3-year-old QH gelding - Bought him for a $1, got the nice gallop, running in a 60K listed stakes, four horse field, it looks like one obvious winner, the other two look pretty competitive, I don't mind getting fourth place money. 4 55
Iba - 5-year-old Arabian mare - Consistently runs in the 30's regardless of distance, conditions or equipment. She's running in a 10K MSW, four horse field over a muddy track. 3 34
It'sbiggerintexas - 2-year-old Appy colt - First start, recent $221 purchase, running in a 50K listed stakes, four horse field, only one winner in the field. 3 57
Karim - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Unimpressive filler running in a sponsored restricted 25K NW5, four horse field. One monster. 4 44
Matter of Fact - 4-year-old trot gelding - He has five OTB placings in ten starts, running in a 15K NW3, ten horse field, there's a slim chance he gets up for a piece of the purse. 2 62
Money and Music - 3-year-old trot colt - Three OTB finishes in five starts, running in a 50K listed stakes, seven horse field. If he runs his best he has a chance of being in the top three, hopefully the top five at least. 1 64
Muzelmien - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - First start for me, a recent $2 purchase that galloped with wings, for what that's worth. I've stripped him of all equipment except the lasix since he's been running with it for a while. I think this is probably not his preferred distance but want to see what he does. He's running in a 10K MSW, five horse field. 5 10
One Night Wonder - First start for me, recent purchase for 1K, he's had five starts and hasn't earned a penny. He's running in a 12K MSW, four horse field - he'll earn something tonight, at least. 3 47
Painters Palette - 3-year-old Paint filly - CAH - Second start, created her to run in a two horse race last out, which she won with a dismal SF of 49. Tonight she's in a sponsored 25K NW2 at a different distance, but again, two horse field. Don't think she'll win this route race as she is bred to be a sprinter, but she'll still bring home a decent check. 1 44
Rhodonite - 5-year-old Arabian mare - Second start for me, bought for $1, made 1K in her first start for me, galloped with wings but still a maiden after 10 starts. She's running in a sponsored 25K MSW, four horse field. 2 60
Star of Tomorrow - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH - Just created her this week to run in this sponsored 200K Grade 1 stakes, four horse field. She's the only maiden, there's one horse that has won once, a monster and another pretty good filly. 4 45
The Cutting Edge - 2-year-old QH colt - My lone QH homebred who galloped with wings but finished sixth in his first start. Tonight he's running in a 10K NW2 at a longer distance, two horse field. The other horse is a first time starter with a slightly better work. He can't do worse than second here anyway. 2 63
Earnings for the night - $114,450 (includes breeder awards)

Monday Year 26 Week 5 01/04/10
Already a quarter of the way through the year! 27 running tonight, there weren't too many filler races for tonight so I have quite a few in fuller fields than I usually run them, so I'm a little anxious about that. I feel like I'm throwing some of these horses to the wolves. Oh well, they need the exercise, anyway.
Aces High - 6-year-old chase gelding - He's hit the board six times in eight starts, three of those times he made it to the winners circle. He's running tonight in a small 50K listed stakes, six horse field. His only two off the board chase finishes were both in his only stakes attempts so I'm not holding out a lot of hope for him to hit the board here. So far his best SF has only been 90. 5 76
Adonais - 3-year-old filly - Filler running in a 12K AW allowance, four horse field. Trying lasix for the first time. 4 39

Dirie - 4-year-old dirt mile filly - Second start for me, broke her maiden last out at a mile. I put her in this 30K claimer in a full field without noticing that there were only two other fillies in the field. I doubt she can cut it with the boys, also, she hasn't raced since week 11 of last year. This will probably be a throwaway race for her due to me not paying attention. 11 26
Drop Out - 2-year-old filly - Just bought her for $100 because I wanted to try her out on AW, tonight she's running in a 15K MSW, full field, there's a few first time starters in the field, otherwise it's all struggling babies. 8 15
Forever in Gold - 3-year-old turf route filly - She's running in a 10K allowance at a very long route with a full field, she's probably outclassed here but I decided to just let her run to see if she shows anything with the long route. 12 19
He Rules - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - Running in a sponsored 25K NW3, four horse field, he'll bring home something. 4 48
Inspired Past - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - Second start, won first out but only had a 61 SF. Running tonight in a 75K listed stakes, ten horse field. There's a few first time starters and a few that have won their maidens. 6 47
It's My Party - 2-year-old filly - Unimpressive filly that I entered as a filler but a sixth horse showed up so she's probably going to come in last. 32K NW2 claimer, six horse field, purse is 12K. 6 24
Jungle Gym - 8-year-old turf route gelding - He's pretty much just waiting to be retired but I still race him once in a while. Hasn't hit the board since week five in Year 24. Tonight he's running in a 15K NW3, ten horse field, he's the oldest one there.
3 51
Lie Low - 2-year-old colt - His best works were on AW but his first start he came in 10th and flattened out so I'm trying him on turf 15K NW2 claimer, five horse field, purse is 12K. 5 29
