Monday Year 26 Week 9 02/01/10

28 racing tonight, quite a few steeplechasers and a little bit of everything else, mostly maidens, not too many stakes tonight.

Anger Issues - 4-year-old chase filly - $10 purchase. This is her third start over the jumps, and her third start for me. She's in a 10K MSW with a full field. 5 54

Astral Queen - 5-year-old chase mare - This is her second start back since being injured in week 1, she's in a 12K MSW with a field of six. 5 36

Best Be There - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - He has one win and a fourth in his two previous starts. Tonight he's in a 30K listed stakes with a seven horse field. He may be a bit out-classed here. 4 59

Can't Stop The Sun - 2-year-old AW mile filly - Second start, came in fourth in her first start at a sprint. She's in a 25K claimer with a four horse field and a 15K purse. I probably didn't want to put her in a claimer this early but all of the other close mile races were already filled. 2 51

Demand - 5-year-old chase mare - Second start over the hurdles, disappointing seventh first out. Tonight she's in a 90K listed stakes, five horse field. She's the only maiden in this group. 5 51

Dream of Dreams - 2-year-old turf mile filly - First start, she is probably going to want to go a little longer but starting her tonight in a 12K MSW, eleven horse field.
5 47

Dreaming Mojave - 4-year-old chase filly - Running in a 15K MSW, eleven horse field. 3 70

Eat and Run - 2-year-old dirt sprint colt - He's running in a 15K MSW, four horse field. 2 56

Heap of Virtue - 4-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a 10K NW3, five horse field. This is probably a little longer than she likes. 4 47

It's My Party - 2-year-old turf mile filly - Unimpressive runner trying a mile for the first time in a 15K claimer, four horse field and a purse of 10K. 4 40

Let Faith Guide - 5-year-old chase gelding - He has one win in five starts over the jumps. Tonight he's in a 10K allowance, six horse field. 4 74

Matter of Trust - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - Running in a 20K MSW, five horse field. 3 49

Naskra's Luck - 5-year-old dirt route gelding - $10 purchase. Haven't been able to sell him for $1 so will probably dump him soon. Tonight he's running in a 12K MSW, seven horse field. 6 37

Nuclear - 4-year-old dirt route colt - Tonight he's running in a 125K Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. He might have a chance at fourth. 5 51

Sprint Magic - 4-year-old turf sprint filly - Another that doesn't sell for $1. She's in a 75K listed stakes as a filler but a sixth horse slipped in so I'm not expecting too much from her here. 6 35

Strange Meeting - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Six starts, still trying to break her maiden. Tonight she's in a 15K MSW, five horse field. 3 52

Summa Theologica - 3-year-old AW filly - This is her second start on AW, came in second in her first race at a mile, I'm trying her in a long sprint this outing. 12K MSW, four horse field. She may actually want more ground rather than less, her sire seems to have produced horses at different distances. 4 34

Thirdstarinthecrux - 4-year-old chase filly - 10K MSW, eight horse field. 5 49

Weird - 6-year-old chase mare - Running in a 10K allowance, seven horse field. Looks like most of the others are better. 7 65
