Monday Year 25 Week 11 10/12/09

27 going postward tonight, not so many filler races tonight, unfortunately. Hoping there's a lot more talent here than I think there is.

Aces High - 5-year-old chaser gelding - He's made money in each of his chasing starts, running in a NW2 with a fairly competitive field. 1 89

Astral Queen - 4-year-old chaser filly - This is her third start chasing, hasn't shown much so far, she's running in a 50K stakes with four others so I doubt she'll break her maiden here, she will earn some money though. 5 48

Badlands Balladeer - 2-year-old dirt router colt - Second start, running in a NW2 with four others, he's the only maiden in the field. 4 48

Beyron - 5-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Running in a 10K claimer tonight, full field. 7 43

Destiny Is Mine - 2-year-old turf miler filly - Third start, hasn't run well, stretching her out a bit tonight in a MSW with almost a full field. Only two money earners in the field. 8 27

Dirie - 3-year-old dirt miler filly - Just picked her up for 5K, this is her first start for me, also her first start at a mile, her old owner ran her at routes. She's running in a MSW, seven horses in the field, she's the only one to have no earnings. If she doesn't improve at the mile distance she'll probably go into the filler ranks. 1 57

Globes - 4-year-old turf miler filly - Another new one for me, picked her up for $300, she's running in a starter allowance in an eleven horse field. I haven't galloped this filly yet so not sure if she's as bad as she looks or not. Otherwise I'll train her to jumps or she can always be a filler. 8 38

He Rules - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - He's running in a 25K NW2 claimer, full field. 8 38

Hugs and Kisses - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - She originally cost me 25K, has not made her money back. Tonight she's running in a 150K Grade 2 stakes, with four others and she should come in fifth. 4 48

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf router filly - Third start, she has a second and a third. Stetching her out tonight in a NW2 in Japan. Not a whole lot of races in Japan, nine horse field, I expect her to finish out of the money. 7 22

Justified Legacy - 2-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - Running in a 32K claimer, four horse field. 4 24

Let Faith Guide - 4-year-old chaser gelding - Third chasing start, has one win and one off the board finish. Tonight he's running in a 20K claimer. 7 52

Loki Fate - 3-year-old dirt router filly - Another recent 5K purchase. first start for me, trying her at a long route. MSW in a full field. No idea what she'll do. 7 37

Midevil - 3-year-old all weather sprinter filly - First start for me, first start on all weather. Running in an allowance, nine horse field. 5 35

Never Better - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a 40K claimer, six horse field, she'll probably stroll home sixth. 6 40

Perfect Hero - 3-year-old turf sprinter gelding - I really tried to find a better race for him but there just wasn't any in Europe this week. So he's running in a 75K listed stakes. There's an outside chance he comes in fourth or fifth, six horse field. 4 49

Remember The Time - 2-year-old dirt router colt - First start, MSW, full field. 7 30

Run To You - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a 32K claimer with four others. 5 34

Sad Eyes - 2-year-old dirt sprinter filly - Third start, running in a Grade 2 150K stakes with four others, she'll be fifth. 5 47

Shorebird - 3-year-old dirt router filly - Still a maiden, trying her at a longer route, I like her breeding but she only has one second out of six starts. MSW, eight horse field. 2 59

Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - Has one win and three second place finishes out of eight chasing starts (also two fourth and a fifth). Tonight she's in a 45K claimer, eight horse field. 7 53

Sunday Minx - 5-year-old chaser mare - Second start chasing, came in third in her first start. She's running in a MSW with two others. 2 60

The Treasure Hunt - 2-year-old turf router - First start, her works were only okay so I'm trying her at a mile first. MSW with an eight horse field. 6 42

This I Gotta See - 2-year-old turf filly - Second start, unimpressive works, she's running in a 35K NW3 claimer with four others. 1 52

Twinkling Lights - 5-year-old dirt sprinter mare - Steward-bred. I like this ole girl and it's a shame she missed almost a whole year of racing with her old owner. She's got two wins and three seconds in nine starts, stakes placed. She's running in a 50K listed stakes tonight, I'm hoping she can get into the top three but not really expecting it. Her best SF has been a 65 and she'll probably have to run back to that.
4 51

Visage - 2-year-old dirt router filly - First start, MSW, full field, no expectations here. 2 60

Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - Running in a 20K claimer with three others. 3 61

Earnings for the night - $52,630 (includes breeder awards)
