Friday Year 26 Week 13 03/05/10

26 runners tonight, looks like mostly 2-year-olds and a lot of full fields.

Abacus - 3-year-old dirt route gelding - Running in a 20K MSW, six horse field.
3 51

Arctic Heat - 2-year-old dirt mile colt - Third start. Running in a 15K MSW, eleven horse field, he's shown some promise. 1 64

Barefoot Dancer - 2-year-old turf mile filly - She's in a 20K MSW, ten horse field. I ran her as a filler in two different stakes races but she may be a bit better than a filler, hoping to find that out in her next races. 4 51

Big Guns - 3-year-old AW route gelding - He's running a marathon distance tonight in a 15K allowance, seven horse field. It's probably a bit too long for him, but I wanted to try him and see how he does. 4 54

Blue Marble - 3-year-old turf gelding - Can't seem to figure out what distance he likes, running in a sprint tonight, 15K MSW, five horse field. 1 56

Coffee in Bed - 2-year-old dirt mile filly - Third start. She's running in a 15K restricted MSW, ten horse field. 7 41

Disbelieving - 3-year-old dirt mile gelding - Hoping he'll be decent at steeplechasing next year. Tonight he's in a 25K maiden claimer, four horse field and a 12K purse.
3 50

First Extreme - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - This is her fourth start, she hasn't shown very much in her previous races. Trying her in a longer sprint and adding lasix. She's in a 15K MSW with a full field. 5 44

Garbo - 2-year-old dirt route filly - Third start, won last out (67), tonight it's a 15K NW2 with a full field. She's in good company here and may have to run her eyeballs out to get up for any shot at a check. 7 41

I Do What I Want - 3-year-old dirt route filly - Running in a 20K MSW, eleven horse field. A lot of struggling horses in this field, it's a toss up. 2 57

Isaidineedsomspace - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Fourth start, has two OTB finishes in her previous races including one win (62) and a third in a Grade 3 stakes (60). Tonight she's in a 15K NW2, nine horse field. All are winners. 7 46

Lie Low - 2-year-old dirt gelding - He's by a GP stallion who seems to sire a variety of distances, so I'm still trying to feel this guy out. Tonight he's running for the first time in a route as a filler in a 100K Grade 3 stakes, four horse field. 4 46

Lighter Than Air - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - Fifth start, last out was her first off-the-board finish when she came in fourth. Tonight she's in a 20K NW3 with a full field. I'm taking the blinkers off and adding a tongue tie, either way, this looks like a tough race. 8 32

Nebettawy - 2-year-old dirt mile filly - Third start, hasn't shown very much so far. Tonight she's running as a filler in a restricted 125K listed stakes, five horse field. All five are maidens, adding a tongue tie. 1 63

Paper in Fire - 2-year-old dirt sprint gelding - Third start, showed absolutely nothing in his two previous starts at longer distances. Tonight he's running in a 15K MSW, ten horse field. Trying blinkers and a tongue tie since he starts last and ends last. 4 48

Penny Serenade - 2-year-old dirt sprint filly - This is her fifth start, she's come in fourth in all of her previous starts. Trying her on lasix in this 15K MSW, seven horse field. 5 39

Spin That Record - 3-year-old turf sprint filly - Running in a 15K allowance, nine horse field, this race is a bit of a toss up, no horse has more than one win. 5 43

Summer Pleasure - 4-year-old turf filly that I'm trying on AW for the first time in a race I sponsored, 25K NW2, five horse field. Her AW work was pretty good, she's done okay on turf so I'm not going to be upset if she doesn't do well here. 1 57

The Treasure Hunt - 3-year-old turf mile filly - Running in a 15K MSW with a full field. Might keep her to try at chasing if she continues to not do well. 8 37
