Wednesday Year 26 Week 9 02/03/10

Mixed breed racing night, only 16 runners tonight.

As'ad - 7-year-old Arabian horse - I sponsored a 50K listed stakes for him, seven horse field. I'd say one monster showed up but if As'ad runs as poorly as his last race, they'll all turn into monsters. 3 66

C. E. Hashim - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - Unimpressive runner in a sponsored 25K NW2, four horse field. 4 49

Colors of the Day - 3-year-old Paint filly - Second start for this CAH in a 10K MSW, three horse field. 2 56

Corona Effects - 2-year-old QH filly - Gift horse that won first out (64), tonight she's running in a 100K Grade 3 with a full field. Not really expecting a lot here, just didn't know where else to race her. 9 63

Double Change - 4-year-old Arabian gelding - Another unimpressive runner who serves as a filler, running in a spnsored 50K listed stakes, five horse field. 5 58

Flash of Fire - 3-year-old trot colt - Running in a 125K sponsored Grade 3 stakes, five horse field. He's the youngest in this field of more experienced horses, all monsters. 5 65

Hotter Than Mojave - 3-year-old Appy colt - He's running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. He's got the most earnings and the best record of this field but you never know with horses. Plus there's a few that have run better speed figures and are pretty hot coming into this race. 1 67

Likes Kids - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Running in a sponsored 50K stakes, five horse field. 5 41

Malika Badiya - 5-year-old Arabian mare - She's running in a sponsored 25K NW2, two horse field. 2 55

Mayday - 3-year-old Appy filly - Filler running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. 5 47

Painters Palette - 3-year-old Paint filly - CAH running in a 50K listed stakes, five horse field. I think she's pretty well out-matched here. 5 55

Play It By Ear - 2-year-old trot colt - My only 2-year-old trotter in his first start running in a 15K MSW with a full field. He's the only offspring of my stud Midnight Tornado that is of racing age this year so I'm hoping he can at least get up for a piece of the money. All first time starters in this field. 6 62

Red Mustang - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Second start for me. Running in a 80K Grade 3, four horse field. Pretty sure he'll be coming in fourth. 4 41

Taiomah - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - First start for me running in a 10K MSW, four horse field. 3 43

Treasure Ransom - 3-year-old Paint gelding - One of my regular fillers running in a 10K MSW, three horse field. 1 46

Watson's Folly - 2-year-old QH filly - Running as a filler in a 10K NW2, five horse field, this distance is probably way too long for her. 5 56

Earnings for the night - $57,750
