Monday Year 26 Week 10 02/08/2010

30 running tonight, a mixed bag.

Acamas - 5-year-old chase gelding - Running tonight in a 10K starter allowance, four horse field. 4 52

Aces High - 6-year-old chase gelding - He's in a 70K listed stakes, ten horse field, with any luck he gets up for a check but it looks like there's some strong contendors here and this isn't his best distance. 5 70

Aspen Midnight - 4-year-old chase filly - This is her third start over the jumps, hasn't done too well so far. Tonight she goes a little longer in a 32K claimer with a purse of 12K and a field of six. 1 79

Bilk - 5-year-old chase mare - Four starts, still a maiden, though she does have three OTB finishes. Tonight she's in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 3 56

Crystal Moonlight - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Second start, first at a mile in a 45K claimer with a four horse field and a purse of 12K. 3 48

Dvoyeveriye - 4-year-old dirt sprint colt - First start for me, lightly raced with only four starts and two wins. Running in a 45K claimer with a purse of 15K and a full field. He was pre-entered in this race when I bought him and I decided to let him run. I doubt he'll be claimed at that price tag. 8 40

Epic Farewell - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Steward-bred has done poorly in his last two outings. Tonight he's in a 200K Grade 1, five horse field. Trying him on lasix but he may still come in last but he'll pick up a decent check, I think. 5 59

Face Value -3-year-old turf gelding - Regular filler running in a 10K MSW, five horse field. There's a very small chance that he comes in better than last. 4 41

Fire Song - 5-year-old AW route gelding - He's running in a sponsored 25K NW3, five horse field. 4 42

Foot the Bill - 4-year-old chase filly - Four starts and has only one fourth to her name. She's in a 10K MSW, four horse field at a new, longer distance. 3 53

Forever in Gold - 3-year-old turf route filly - She's in a 15K allowance, five horse field and she's the youngest and least accomplished. Adding lasix for the first time.
4 46

Golden Warrior - 3-year-old dirt route filly - She's running in a 200K Grade 2 stakes, four horse field. She's outclassed here but it's at a longer route which she should like. 4 51

Guns and Daggers - 3-year-old dirt route filly - She has nice works but has been disappointing on the track. She's in a 10K allowance, seven horse field at a longer route and I'm hoping she'll appreciate the added distance. 7 53

Haunted By Night - 4-year-old dirt route filly - She's running in a 15K starter allowance with a field of six. She has a chance for a check here. 6 39

Hold Your Horses - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Second start, first start at a mile. He's in a 20K MSW, ten horse field. 2 59

Isthistwilight - 3-year-old dirt route filly - First start for me, in a 15K MSW, eleven horse field at her first long route. 6 34

Kariya's Eyes - 3-year-old turf route filly - Running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. 3 49

Making Waves - 6-year-old dirt route gelding - Steward-bred. First start for me, picked him up off the sales page for 3K. Running in a long route in a 75K listed stakes, six horse field. I think he may have a shot of getting something. 1 68

Mythical Star - 4-year-old dirt route gelding - Running in a 15K starter allowance, five horse field. 3 57

Norm - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Third start, has a win and a show at sprint distances. Not very exciting speed figures though. Tonight he's in a 45K claimer, six horse field. 4 45

Performing Is Life - 3-year-old AW sprint gelding - First start on AW, second start for me. Running in a 12K MSW, three horse field. 3 35

What a Goal - 4-year-old dirt sprint gelding - Bought for 1K he has surprised me by winning twice in a row. Tonight he's running in a 45K claimer with a full field and a purse of 15K. It's a claimer but there's some decent horses in here. 1 68

Yawn - 3-year-old dirt gelding - Hasn't done well at routes which he is bred for so tonight he's in a mile 15K MSW, four horse field. 4 43
