Wednesday Year 25 Week 9 9/30/09

Mixed breed racing night. 18 runners, not really expecting too much from any of them.

Amir - 4-year-old Arabian colt - Running in a sponsored stakes, five horse field. This is his first stakes race, there are at least two monsters in the field. If he runs his eyeballs out he might get up for the top three. He'll bring home a check either way.
3 68

Back Off - 6-year-old QH gelding - His best racing days are behind him but he still needs to race every now and again. Running in a 5K claimer tonight in a full field with a lot of youngsters, not really expecting him to be in the top five. 1 67

Combat Rock - 5-year-old Arabian horse - I sponsored a stakes race for him to try to boost his earnings, only three horses in the field so he'll make money though I don't expect him to win. 2 68

Cuts Like A Knife - 3-year-old QH colt - CAH - Had a pretty good 2-year-old season and petered out at 3. I'm running him in a Grade 3 stakes tonight, at a distance he's never run at, I doubt that he'll even be in the top five. 2 63

Dashing Rye - 3-year-old QH gelding - First start for me, three horse field, MSW, probably won't win but will earn some money, anyway. 3 46

Dusty Digger - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Slow, running in a stakes, five horse field 5 50

Dream Eater - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH - Running in a l o n g route allowance race, not really expecting her to do well but hoping she can surprise me. 4 62

Easy As Pie - 3-year-old trotter filly - CAH - first start, MSW, six horse field. No workouts so I have no idea how this filly will do. 1 62

Happy Days Again - 2-year-old filly - Free gift from Em in the chat room, this is her first start in a MSW, full field with all first time starters. 4 59

Karim - 3-year-old Arabian gelding - Very slow horse, second start for me, running in a stakes race in a five horse field. He'll earn some money. 5 46

Lonesome Fugitive - 3-year-old trotter colt - Running in a NW2, full field, he might be in the mix at the end. 2 62

Malika Badiya - 4-year-old Arabian filly - First start for me, running in a NW3, not really expecting much. 5 63

Oxiclean - 3-year-old Appy gelding - Second start for me, MSW, pretty competitive field. Slow speed figures. 4 51

Rare Lil Maverick - 3-year-old Paint filly - First start for me, MSW, six horse field, maybe she gets up for a check, not very good speed figures. 4 55

Sir Prize - 3-year-old Paint colt - Running in a stakes, five horse field, he might get up for fourth. 2 59

Spirit Road - 3-year-old Appy colt - Running in a Grade 3 stakes tonight, four horse field, if he runs as well as he did last out he might get up for second. 3 65

Two Bits - 5-year-old Paint gelding - Running in a 5K sponsored claimer, almost a full field, don't think he'll really make it up there. 6 61

White Hot Star - 4-year-old QH filly - CAH, created her just for this race, spnsored MSW, three horse field, no works so I have no idea how this horse will do. She'll get a check either way. 2 43

Earnings for the night - $109.120 (includes breeder awards)

Monday Year 25 Week 9 9/28/09

A lot of first time runners along with some chasers tonight. 25 running

Aces High - 5-year-old chaser gelding - Running in a NW3 against some good competition, not sure how he'll do. 2 79

Amador - 2-year-old gelding - Running as a filler in a NW2, five horse field where only one horse has actually won a race 5 37

And She Was - 2-year-old filly - First start, all weather sprint, 50K maiden claimer, she's the only first time starter in the field 6 22

Authoritative - 3-year-old dirt router gelding - Running in a MSW with a full field. Stretching him out to 1 1/2 miles and hoping that does the trick, don't think he'll like the sloppy track too much though. 5 46

Big Guns - 2-year-old turf router colt - First start, MSW, should be a router but I'm trying him out at a mile first. Six horse field, he might have a chance of bringing home a check. 2 59

Cousin Vinny - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, full field, his works are okay but not spectacular. Some in this field look faster, some look slower - this is a toss up.
12 17

Dionysia - 3-year-old filly - Running in an allowance as a filler - four horse field, she's coming in fourth. 4 32

Epic Farewell - 3-year-old dirt router colt - One of my favorites, but struggles. Steward-bred, running in a NW3 with almost a full field and some monsters have entered. 2 66

Final Warning - 2-year-old gelding - First start, MSW, five horse field, sloppy track. He is the only first time starter in the field. 5 33

Glorious Eyes - 2-year-old turf miler filly - First start, five horse field, NW2, only one horse has a win in this field. 4 45

Holder Hall - 4-year-old dirt router gelding - DTD - He has 3 wins and 3 seconds out of eleven starts. Running in a Grade 2 stakes, five horse field. He'll probably come in fifth because I shipped him pretty far to get him here yesterday. The other four horses are monsters anyway. 5 51

How Soon Is Now - 2-year-old turf miler gelding - First start, 25K maiden claimer
9 22

In His Arms - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - Second start, came in second first time out in a soft stakes. Running in a NW2 tonight, five horse field. 1 64

Language Barrier - 4-year-old turf filly - been running in routes and doing so-so (31K in earnings) trying her at a mile tonight in a NW3. 7 38

Matter of Trust - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - First start, MSW, some nice first timers in this field, don't think he'll get up there. 3 49

Monster Heat - 2-year-old turf miler filly - First start, MSW, a lot of first timers in this field, I have no idea how this horse will do. 1 58

Nautic Tale - 2-year-old gelding - First start, running in a mile all weather 25K claimer, five horse field. 3 39

Personal Demon - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, running in a NW2, five horse field, no one in this field has won a race. 2 54

Serena's Desert - 2-year-old filly - First time starter, running in a NW2, five horse field, all first time starters, filler. 3 45

Shot of Tequilla - 2-year-old turf router filly - first start for me, running her at a mile, NW2, four horse field. 4 46

Silent Cry - 2-year-old turf miler colt - First start, NW2, four horse field, only one winner out of the four. His best works were on AW but he's in Japan right now and there were no AW races. 2 54

Songs About Rain - 5-year-old chaser mare - MSW, she has 3 second place finishes, don't think she'll break her chaser maiden tonight 1 67

Stormy Darkness - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, running in a 15K claimer with a lot of other first timers. 1 59

Sunday Minx - 5-year-old chaser mare - First start as a chaser, MSW, four horse field. 3 62

Weird - 5-year-old chaser mare - MSW, third start chasing, has one third and one fourth, she probably won't do it tonight either. 4 60

Earnings for the night - $60,390

Friday Year 25 Week 8 9/25/09

Only 15 runners tonight, mostly all turf.

American Tourist - 3-year-old filly - this is her second race for me. She's really a turf miler, but I'm running her in a dirt mile stakes race with four other horses. She's not very quick on the turf anyway, she's never broken out of the 40's with her sf's so it doesn't really matter what she races on. She'll earn her keep tonight anyway. 5 24

Face Value - 2-year-old turf sprinter gelding - Originally this was a five horse field, stakes, but sometime after I went to bed someone else entered a horse, so now it's a 6 horse field. So this horse is not earning anything tonight. 5 38

Give Candy - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - Second start, running in a MSW with a lot that have no starts - hard to tell if he'll get into the top five or not. 5 35

Hugs and Kisses - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - Running in a 60K claimer tonight, she might be in the mix at the end. 8 27

Ize Happy - 3-year-old dirt miler gelding - Slow gift horse, running in a sponsored NW2 - five horse field, he'll get a check anyway. 5 20

Kindness - 2-year-old turf filly - First start. She didn't have very good works, tonight she's in a very soft stakes with four others, she'll bring in a check. 5 40

Lucky Thirteen - 2-year-old turf sprinter colt - Third start, his first race he was first, his second race he was last. Tonight he's in a NW2 in a five horse field, he'll bring home something. 4 47

Musical Flower - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - This is her first start for me, her third start overall, she has two wins but not very impressive SF (58). She's in a soft stakes with three other runners, at least two look like potential monsters. 4 45

Night Race - 2-year-old turf miler filly - Gift horse. First start in a full field MSW, she has decent works but so do a lot of the others. 5 49

Perfectly Magical - 3-year-old turf filly - Another one where it was a five horse field, stakes, and someone entered after I went to bed. (I gotta stop needing sleep.) She's finishing last. 6 42

Serene Spirit - 2-year-old turf filly - Running in a stakes, six horse field, more fillers than stakes quality - she'll probably finish out of the money. 6 29

Speed of Darkness - 2-year-old filly - bad works on all surfaces - I do like her name though. This is her first start - stakes - five horse field. 5 22

Spin That Record - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - Third start, she has a first and a second. Not great SF (60) despite having some really nice workouts. She's running in a NW2 with a competitive field. 6 44

Stepping Out - 3-year-old turf router gelding - Running in an allowance in Japan - he doesn' stand a chance. 10 13

Water Landing - 5-year-old turf router mare - Running in a NW3 in a full field, she might get up in the mix at the end. She's only not brought home a check once out of 9 starts with five OTB finishes. This looks like a fairly tough field, though. 6 38

Earnings for the night - $14,690

Wednesday Week 8 Year 25 9/23/09

Mixed breed racing night. 15 running tonight.

Big Boss - 3-year-old gelding - trotter - Not too fast, running in a NW3, I'll be surprised if he earns a check. 5 53

Cracklin Rosie - 2-year-old filly - quarter horse - She's running in a stakes that is way over her head but it's only a five horse field so she'll earn some money, anyway. A little shorter than she probably likes. 5 43

Emotions in Motion - 2-year-old filly - trotter - This is her first start in a MSW, first starts for everyone in the race. 6 50

Eomeona - 3-year0old gelding - trotter - Bought him to use as a filler, tonight he's running in a sponsored (by me) NW2 in a five horse field. I sponsored this race for Matter of Fact who I don' think is up to taking on any stakes horses. 5 50

Flash of Fire - 2-year-old colt - trotter - First start in a MSW with other first time starters. 1 65

Heart of the Night - 3-year-old filly - trotter - Very slow, running in a MSW again tonight, not expecting anything. 3 46

Hotter Than Mojave - 2-year-old Appy colt - has two seconds out of two starts. Running in a very soft stakes, he has a shot at being in the top three since there are only three other runners. He probably would like to go a little longer but the small field was too good to pass up. 3 53

I Like to Jog - 5-year-old gelding - trotter - he's running in an allowance with three others over a muddy track. 2 60

Jada - 4-year-old Arabian filly - CAH that I originally created as a filler, she's done okay but isn't anything great. I sponsored a MSW for her at a route to give her another shot at a longer distance without running her in a stakes. Only four others in the field. 4 54

Locomotive - 3-year-old gelding - pacer - I've been trying to sell this guy for 1K but nobody wants him. He's that slow. How could MW have been so wrong? He's running in a MSW with one other horse, a CAH with no starts but better works. SOLD
2 42

Marengo - 3-year-old Arabian colt - Has a first and two seconds out of three starts. Running in a sponsored NW2, his first route race with four others. I figured I might as well see how he likes routes and get that out of the way early. 2 53

Matter of Fact - 3-year-old colt - trotter - I sponsored this NW2 for him, only a five horse field, hoping it gives him some confidence but you never know how things will work out. 1 61

Mayday - 2-year-old Appy filly - This is her first start for me, her third start overall. I'm running her a little longer in a three horse field that is also a stakes race. She'll probably come in last but a third in a stakes is okay. 3 43

Money and Music - 2-year-old colt - trotter - This is Soft Music's first foal and I would really like him to do well. He's running in a MSW with other first time starters - some that have similar works. I can only hope he does okay in his first outing. 2 68

Speak For Yourself - 4-year-old filly - trotter - CAH - This is her second start, running in an allowance with one other horse. 1 62

Earnings for the night - $56,350

Monday Week 8 Year 25 9/21/09

Steeplechasing night. 18 running tonight, nothing special going on.



Acamas - 4-year-old gelding chaser - this is his third try at breaking his maiden. Full field, so I doubt it. 10 53

Astral Queen - 4-year-old filly chaser - this is her second start chasing in MSW 6 45

Cryptic Humor - 6-year-old mare chaser - Running in a 40K claimer with a full field, highly doubtful. 12 38

Fire Song - 4-year-old gelding all weather miler - I originally paid 60K for this horse as a yearling. He has been a huge disappointment. He has a measley 17K in earnings out of 10 starts. Running in a NW2 tonight with a full field and probably won't hit the board again. 8 33

Folk - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - This is her first start, in a 32K maiden claimer in a full field. Her sire's leading earner has only made 28K and has been pensioned. 4 48

Harrodsburg Pike - 3-year-old all weather sprinter - Running in a NW2 32K claimer. Full field so his odds are slim. 10 16

John Ledyard - 2-year-old colt turf miler - First start, MSW with a lot of other first time starters. 8 36

Joyride - 2-year-old filly - turf sprinter - Third start, 40K claimer. 4 43

Let Faith Guide - 4-year-old gelding chaser - this is his second start as a chaser, won his first time out, he's in an allowance with a lot tougher tonight, not expecting anything. 10 47

Nuclear - 3-year-old colt - dirt router - NW2 - he might be in the mix at the end. 1 71

Opening Day - 5-year-old mare - chaser - Running in a 25K claimer 6 53

Osamu Riku - 2-year-old gelding - any dirt - This is his first start, he's in a stakes, not because I think he's that good but because there are only four others running in it. 5 42

Philadelphia Flyer - 5-year-old gelding - dirt router - originally this guy cost me 12K and has made me about 50K, he's nice just not very consistent. Running in a NW3 with some that are definitely better and younger. 4 55

Reach The World - 5-year-old mare - chaser - Running in a 45K claimer, she's never finished worse than 4th out of seven starts chasing, this is a six horse field so she might hit the board. 1 77

Send Them To Utah - 5-year-old mare - chaser - She's done pretty well since starting chasing. She has a record of 2-2-1 out of 5 chasing starts. Won last out in a NW3, tonight she's in an allowance with a full field and many that look better. 5 66

Serenity Prevails - 2-year-old filly dirt sprinter - this is her second start, came in 3rd first out with a mediocre SF. She's in a small stakes tonight because it has a very small field, only three others running. 4 48

She's A Runner - 2-year-old filly - dirt miler - First start, full field, a lot of first time starters, who knows? 4 42

Summer Pleasure - 3-year-old filly - turf router - MSW with at least one that is better. 1 58

Earnings for the night - $35,070

Friday Year 25 Week 7 9/18/09

30 horses running tonight, many 2-year-olds.

Addison - 4-year-old dirt router filly. 10: 1-1-2 Running in a sponsored, restricted stakes tonight. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 3 57

Amador - 2-year-old colt - 1: 0-0-0 - Running in a restricted stakes. Do I think he has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 37

American Tourist - 3-year-old filly - 4: 0-0-0 Her first race for me, MSW at a sprint distance, she was running in mile races previously. Not really expecting much. 4 41

Badlands Balladeer - 2-year-old dirt miler colt - First start in a MSW 6 39

Cabella - 4-year-old miler filly - 10: 0-2-2 Running in a sponsored, restricted stakes. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field! First AW start. 2 49

Cascade of Faith - 4-year-old turf router filly - 10: 1-0-4 Running in a NW2 with a full field. She's not going to win but might be in the mix. 9 23

Dancing Worlds - 4-year-old turf miler filly - 8: 0-1-1 This is her first start for me. She's in a stakes in Kenya and doesn't really stand a chance of even being in the top 5. Not too many mile races in Kenya, though. 9 35

Euridice - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - 2: 0-0-1 Running in a MSW - doubtful. 8 30

He Rules - 3-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 6: 1-0-1 Running in a 10K claimer over a muddy track with a full field. Doubtful. 5 49

Heap of Virtue - 3-year-old dirt router filly - 5: 1-1-1 Running in a restricted NW2 - probably not. 5 45

Joyful Bliss - 2-year-old turf filly - 1: 0-0-1 She's running in a stakes in Japan. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 37

Jungle Gym - 7-year-old turf router gelding - 22: 1-4-6 Running in a 65K claimer with a full field. Everybody else is younger. I think I might try cutting him back to a mile after this. 5 43

Justified Legacy - 2-year-old gelding - First start, running in a restricted MSW with only three other horses. He'll probably be last since it's a turf sprint and he should be a dirt router. His works were poor enough that it really isn't going to matter. 3 29

Mighty Victory - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, MSW She had okay works but so do a lot of the others in this full field. 4 52

Perfect Hero - 3-year-old turf sprinter gelding - 6: 2-0-1 Running in a NW3 with a full field. Doubtful. 2 59

Quiet Please - 3-year-old dirt sprinter filly - 6: 1-1-2 Running in a NW2. Not likely.
5 47

Red Velvet Curtain - 6-year-old dirt router gelding - Running in an allowance which he'll probably not do well in and I'll probably retire and pension him right afterwards. 9 15

Shadowdancer - 3-year-old gelding 6: 0-0-1 - running in a restricted MSW with three others, doubt he'll break his maiden even in this small field. Filler. 1 56

Shootout - 5-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 18: 4-2-4 Running in a small stakes, not expecting anything as I think he's pretty much done. Have to try him out at chasing.
7 48

Shroom - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start, MSW with a full field of other first time starters. 8 38

So It Goes - 2-year-old dirt sprinter colt - Two starts one fourth. MSW with a full field. Doubtful. 7 37

Soulbridge - 4-year-old turf sprinter filly - 9: 1-3-1 Running in a NW3 in Norway. She might be in the mix at the end. 4 50

Strange Meeting - 2-year-old dirt filly. First start. She really should be a router but I have her in a long sprint because I'm just tired of waiting for the route races to start. Both her parents did well in their first race at a sprint at 2, so I thought I'd give her a shot. Restricted MSW. 5 37

This I Gotta See - 2-year-old turf filly - First start, running in a stakes. Do I think she has a chance? Not at all, but there's only four others in the field. 4 38

Thrillin' Lady - 2-year-old turf sprinter filly - 2: 0-0-0 MSW, expecting nothing.
7 32

Twinkling Lights - 5-year-old dirt sprinter mare - 8: 3-2-0 She's running in a small stakes where she may be outclassed but her speed figures are comparable. She's been stakes placed before. I'd like her to do well but won't be shocked if she doesn't. Steward-bred 5 51

Violation - 4-year-old dirt router gelding - 10: 1-1-3 - DTD - Running in a NW2 with a full field. Recently gelded and he's the top money earner in the field but that can mean nothing. He might bring home a check. 2 61

Wild Ginger - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start - MSW with a full field and only one that has a race in (off the board finish). Not expecting much. 11 27

Yoshinobu - 2-year-old dirt sprinter gelding - 1: 0-1-0 Running in a stakes, and no I don't think he has a chance but there are only four others running. 4 47

Yume Promise - 2-year-old dirt miler filly - First start in a MSW with a full field - unlikely. 7 39

Earnings for the night - $79,930
