Hard to believe that we're already up to week 4! In another week or so we'll be able to start working out our yearlings if we so desire. Ihave 29 running tonight, a lot of variety with chasers, 2-year-olds and of course, lots of fillers.
A Friend of Mine - 3-year-old colt - Lightly raced, bred to be a dirt router but didn't hit the board in his first two starts, one at a mile another at a short route. Had a decent AW work and one mile AW race, didn't hit the board but still bought home a check. Trying him at an AW route tonight. 12K MSW, nine horse field. 4 47
Acamas - 5-year-old chase gelding - He's hit the board only twice in six outings chasing, tonight he's in a 10K starter allowance with two others. 3 56
Aspen Midnight - 4-year-old chase filly - This is her chasing debut, she's running in a sponsored 25K MSW, eight horse field, mostly first time starters. 4 63
Bilk - 5-year-old chase mare - This is her third start at chasing, she has a 2nd and 3rd place finish in her two previous starts. She's running in a 15K MSW, four horse field, two of the others are AJ horses. 2 58
Cherry Tree Lane - 2-year-old turf sprint filly - Just bought her off of the sales page for 1K, she had one start in Week 1 with a 5th place finish. I bought her to fill this race, 50K listed stakes, five horse field, only one is a winner, another is a first time starter. 5 47
Chickesaw - 3-year-old filly - Lightly raced, has good works and got the wings comment but has been disappointing thus far. Broke her maiden last out at the end of the year with a 64 SF and won by over four lengths. Tonight she's running in a 100K Grade 3, five horse field, the other four look to be much better. 3 58
Dalesaul - 2-year-old turf sprint gelding - CAH - Another I just picked up off of the sales page for 1K to help fill this race. He has one start from week 1, came in 7th. Running in a 50K NW2 claimer, five horse field, two are winners, two are first time starters. 3 49
Eris - 7-year-old chase mare - She has six OTB finishes in eleven chasing starts. This is her first start for this year, running in a 15K allowance, four horse field, there's at least one better. 3 64
Expedite - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - Steward-bred - This is his first start this year, running in a 15K NW3, eleven horse field, some good ones in here. Hoping he can be in the mix at the end, but not really expecting it. 4 56
Face Value - 3-year-old turf gelding - One of my regular fillers, running in a 100K Grade 3 stakes, five horse field, only two are winners in this field. Running at a route for the first time, he was bred to be a miler so if he gets better than fifth I'll be pleasantly surprised. 5 35
Fort - 5-year-old chasing mare - Originally bought for 100K as a filler. This is only her second start chasing, has a fourth in her first start. She's running in a 100K Grade 3 at Hurdle Park, five horse field. She's the only maiden in the field. 4 56
Holiday Road - 4-year-old filly - One of the $10 horses I bought as a filler. Running in a 25K sponsored MSW, four horse field. This is her first start on AW. 4 38
I'm Lovin It - 5-year-old dirt sprint gelding - CAH - Another $10 horse that I picked up, run at all the wrong distances and surfaces, second start for me. Won first time out at the right distance/surface, running in a restricted 15K NW3, eleven horse field, he's the most lightly raced in the field with the least amount of earnings so I'm not sure how he'll do. 5 50
Icarus Flight - 4-year-old dirt filly - A regular filler for dirt routes, cutting her back to a mile tonight, 25K sponsored NW4, four horse field, only one has won three races. 4 49
Impala - 3-year-old filly - A regular filler bred for turf running in a 10K dirt MSW that took on more horses after I entered her, since it's for such a small amount of money I just decided to let her run. Eight horse field, all are filler material, not expecting anything here. 8 16
Journey's End - 5-year-old dirt mile gelding - $10 sales page horse, first start for me, running in a 15K restricted MSW, five horse field, the others look better. 3 46
Lasting Bond - 3-year-old dirt filly - Filler running in a 40K claimer, 12K purse, six horse field, all are filler-type maidens but this may be a little too long for her to bring in a check. 6 19
Little Bit - 3-year-old filly - Filler running in a 32K NW2 claimer, 15K purse, four horse field, she's the only maiden, first time at a route. 4 40
Loki First - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a 15K MSW, nine horse field, she looks like she has a chance to be in the top five. 5 41
Matter of Trust - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Running in a 15K allowance, six horse field, won't be surprised if he comes in last. 6 34
Midnightdancer - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - CAH - First start for me, running in a 50K claimer, 12K purse, very long route, six horse field, no idea how he'll do here. 5 50
Nautic Tale - 3-year-old gelding - I put him in here just to split the race so I'm not expecting much since he's usually only good for a filler. 15K MSW, nine horse field. He has the most earnings but that really means nothing in this case. 9 23
Norm - 2-year-old dirt colt - First start. Cheap auction horse bought to be a filler, running in a 50K NW2 claimer, 12K purse, five horse field, only one winner in the field and one other first time starter. 1 57
Orlando - 5-year-old chase gelding - Seven starts chasing, four OTB finishes but still a maiden. Running tonight in a 15K MSW, four horse field. There's a slim chance he breaks his maiden. 3 58
Serenity Prevails - 3-year-old dirt filly - Lightly raced filler that I would have scratched if I had realized that another horse was going to enter at the last minute, but that's one of the hazards of dealing with fillers. This race is a little long for her breeding. 50K listed stakes, six horse field. 6 23
Silent Melody - 4-year-old chase gelding - First start at chasing, running in a 20K MSW, five horse field, two others are first time starters. 2 61
Strange Meeting - 3-year-old dirt filly - Filler running in a 100K Grade 3, five horse field. She has one OTB finish in four starts. 4 45
To The Stars - 5-year-old chase mare - First start this year, three OTB finishes in four starts, won last out in a claimer with an 85. Tonight she's in a 10K starter allowance, three horse field. 1 83
You Need Your Head - 3-year-old turf route colt - First start for the year, lightly raced at 2. Has hit the board in his three previous starts, including being stakes placed last out. Running in a 25K NW3, ten horse field, none have won more than once, there's a chance he's in the top five at the end. 7 35
