Monday Year 26 Week 3

I have 23 running tonight. I think the majority of them are fillers, or at least they were fillers as of bedtime last night. A lot of all weather experiments tonight.

I spent part of the weekend finally writing the Hall of Fame article for Black Condor. I have it finished (finally!) but would like to incorporate some things into it that Laura Ferguson just sent to me. Hope to be able to turn it in tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Aces High - 6-year-old chase gelding - He's done pretty well since he started chasing at the beginning of last year with five OTB finishes. I don't usually run him as a filler but there wasn't a lot out there at his perferred distance. Tonight he's running in a 12K allowance, four horse field. 3 80

Adonais - 3-year-old AW filly - Not really sure what distance she might like on AW, she was bred to be a turf miler but really hasn't had the speed figures to show much. So I'm trying her on AW in a long sprint. She's probably destined to become a filler. 12K NW2, four horse field. 4 36

Earth to Mars - 7-year-old dirt sprint gelding - He's become one of my regular fillers. Originally bought for 1K thinking he might make it as a chaser. I just kept him and use him to fill races for older guys. He's running in a 15K MSW, five horse field.
5 33

Fortymile - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Second start for me, running in a 10K NW2, five horse field. 5 33

Gremlin - 4-year-old AW gelding - This guy is one of my slowest and least talented horses so is a good filler. First start for him on AW. 32K maiden claimer, purse is 12K, five horse field. 3 38

I Eat Cannibals - 3-year-old dirt filly - Another really untalented horse but will be a decent filler. Running in a 20K allowance, five horse field. 3 39

Isaidineedsomspace - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - First start, 5K auction purchase, average works, running in a 25K maiden claimer, 15K purse, five horse field. 1 62

Kariya's Eyes - 3-year-old turf filly - Second start for me, running in a 15K NW3, five horse field. 4 42

Kindness - 3-year-old AW filly - First start on AW, she's becoming a regular filler for me. Tonight she's in a 12K NW2, five horse field. 5 22

Magnet X - 4-year-old dirt route filly - First start for me, $10 purchase, bred to be a router she has been running as a miler so I thought I'd try her at a route - actually a very long route. Probably too long for her, but it's a small field. Sponsored 25K NW3, five horse field. 3 55

Night Race - 3-year-old turf sprint filly - Nice works but hasn't lived up to her potential at this point. Tonight she's running in a 75K listed stakes, six horse field. I'm hoping she can get up for a piece of it but not counting on it. 4 51

Nuclear - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Running in a 75K listed stakes, five horse field. He's the youngest horse in the field. 5 50

Perfect Hero - 4-year-old AW gelding - First start on AW, normally a turf sprinter that has never yet brought home a check. Thought I would try him on AW and stretch him out a little. Running in a 125K Grade 3 sponsored stakes, four horse field. 4 30

Pumpkin Patch - 3-year-old AW mile filly - Second start for me, first start at AW, she had a fairly decent AW workout. 12K MSW, eleven horse field. 3 48

Rose Manor - 5-year-old chase mare - Hasn't been off the board in her three chase starts, 92 speed figure in her one win chasing, still fiddling around trying to figure out her preferred distance. Tonight she's in a 65K listed stakes, seven horse field, hoping she can be in the mix at the end. 4 88

Savage Run - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - First start, average works, running in a 25K claimer over a muddy field, 12K purse, five horse field. 3 54

Shorebird - 4-year-old dirt filly - Becoming a regular filler of mine, unfortunately the race she is in acquired a sixth horse, hopefully she can still stick her nose out to make a little money. 20K MSW, six horse field. 5 36

So It Goes - 3-year-old turf gelding - Another that is becoming a regular filler, running in a sponsored NW3 10K claimer, 10K purse, five horse field. 2 54

Speed of Darkness - 3-year-old dirt sprint filly - She's in the same race as I Eat Cannibals, both in as fillers, in fact four of the five horses in this race are fillers. 20K allowance, five horse field. 5 8

There You Are - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - First start, average works, running in a MSW, five horse field. 4 46

Thirdstarinthecrux - 4-year-old chase filly - First start chasing, second start for me. She's running in a 50K Grade 3 stakes, seven horse field. I'm not expecting much from her here, mainly just wanted to race her so I can ship her somewhere with easier fields. 6 53

Trundle - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - First start, average works, running in a 25K maiden claimer, 10K purse, five horse field. 1 63

Twice Raised - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - First start, steward-bred, decent works, running in a 12K MSW, six horse field. There's at least one with better works. 3 58

Earnings for the night - $50,980 (Includes breeder awards)
