Joey the Giant was 4th in his NW3.
Queen of Sheba won her NW3.
Sludge won her OA against the boys with an equipment change. Things Like Fate was a disappointing 5th.
Soupy was an uncharacteristic 5th in her ungraded stakes.
Demand the Best still has spunk; finishing 2nd in his ungraded stakes. Dodge the Draft was 7th.
Notachanceinheck won his ungraded stakes. Stablemate Canaryinacoalmine was 6th.
Toast of the Town came in 2nd in her ungraded stakes. Say It Right was 4th.
Higher Agenda came in 3rd in her Gr. 1 stakes.
Amazonian Spirit was 5th in his Gr. 1 stakes.
Well, last week I didn’t even post because we did so poorly, this week on the other hand is the opposite. All but one were in the money
2yos
Olivine (As You Wish) ran 2nd in his 2yo allowance. He likes the turf!
Starting Point (Whats Your Point) WON his start, he has been a fairly consistent winner on the turf. Going to look for a stakes for him next.
Island Dan (King David) ran 4th in his allowance. A great improvement over his last few starts. He’s up for auction soon
Nobleton (Point Given) rocked it winning his allowance. Super happy I picked him up as a $35,000 claimer just a race ago!
3yo+
Trippi Bree ran 3rd in her allowance. I’m happy with that, she seems to like the long races.
Quick Lemon FINALLY broke his maiden winning his steeplechase allowance. He definately loves SC! He’s also going to be up for auction soon
Supa Kwik was my let down as he ran 5th… Can’t figure her out, so unpredictable. I may put her up for auction as well, she’s got decent lines and will likely make a nice broodmare
Ace of Hearts ran 3rd in the Hudson Stakes. He’s been fairly consistent lately so i’m definatly pleased with that
FINALLY a good day this month! Sent out 6 and 4 hit the board, including a win!
2yo’s
[color=blue]St. Elmo’s Fire (War Chant) ran 2nd/12 in his NW3. This was his first try going over a mile.
[color=red]Sheza Swan and [color=green]Legal Strategy finished 4th-5th/6 in a NW3.
[color=blue]Rocket Smoke is finally showing his old form, though at dirt sprints where he’s never previously done well. I’m not going to complain though! He finished 2nd/8 in an OA.
[color=green]To Alaska won his OA. He’s another odd one: before this fall he’s always bombed at dirt, now he’s taking names. He beat a field of 6.
[color=red]Painted Sunset finished 6th/14 in her OA.
Bah-humbug sent out 11 and only 5 came in with a check, of course most running today don’t like wet and it was wet! I’ll just post the money earners. It had to be wet just because I need money!
[color=blue]Pharaoh’s Fire-(ring of fire)8.5f NW2 Allow,2yo,Turf - Wet, [color=blue]1st surprised here didn’t think he cared for mud.
[color=red]High Wire Dancing-8.5f Allow,3yo+ F,Turf - Wet,[color=red]2nd first time doing well on wet!
[color=blue]Worthy Ruler-12.0f Allow,3yo+, SC - Wet, [color=blue]3rd good boy wet or dry!
[color=red]The Sting-7.0f Maiden for 3yo, SC - Wet,[color=red]1st well she broke her maiden ,yay,and she was in my sale and the reserve was missed by $5k
[color=red]Nitemareon Elm St-9.0f Ungr. Ticonderoga St.for 3yo+ F,Turf - Wet, [color=red]5th have a feeling the mud slowed her down,she was 3rd at 8f and got crowded out at the finish. 11(1)-2-1-1-0 $46,500
No big races, but it’s more satisfying this way, cause all ran well. We have sent 10 horses to the track today.
[color=red]Ch. Charlotte - 1st in 10.5 furlongs Allowance for 3yo against some stallions. Grade 2 stakes were too big for her recently, but she’s great in Allowances. [color=red]The Woman In Black - 1st in 8 furlongs Starter Allowance for 3yo+, in which her stablemate [color=red]Ch. Private Party was 3rd. [color=red]Melodramatic - 2nd in 15 furlongs NW2 Allowance for 3yo. It was fourth race in her lifetime, so we probably have nice stayer here. [color=blue]Bartimaeus - 2nd in 13 furlongs NW3 Allowance for 4yo+. Apparently he likes to have a mare in front of him… [color=red]Unseen Sky - 2nd in 14 furlongs Allowance for 3yo+, in which her stablemate [color=red]Brief Contact was 3rd. [color=red]Southern Saga - 3rd in 9.5 furlongs NW3 Allowance for 3yo. It’s also the highest speed figure of all, although it was a steeplechase race. [color=red]Golden Moon - 3rd in 9.5 furlongs Allowance for 4yo+ F/M. [color=red]That’sMyPointBaby - 5th in 5.5 furlongs Allowance for 4yo+. This could be slightly disappointing but the speed figure was high and she lost by a nose so maybe there is hope for better.
Just as a reminder, her sire didn’t win his first stakes until he was a 4yo. My guess (hope) is that she’s just immature…at least if she takes after her sire.
Clicker Is Quicker ran a nice 3rd/14 in a turf OA.
Highland Dreams broke his maiden today in a Turf NW1. 1st/8.
Succubus finished a game 2nd/9 against older fillies and mares in a turf NW3. Watagan Wildcat wasn’t far behind in 3rd/9.
Highlight of the day was seeing Exclamation Point and Anywhere But Here coming home first and second in the Iroquois. This was a ambitious spot for Exclamation Point and we were ecstatic to see her under the wire first. She is turning out to be a really nice filly, here’s hoping it’s onward and upward with her!
Awesome day here! 10 out and SIX wins (3 2YO WINS)! Everyone was placed low because I’m just trying to get a feel of abilities but looks fantastic!
Alyeska (Bold Ruler) 5.0f T - 1st/6 - F8-older lightly raced gelding WON his claimer easily!
Andromeda (AP Indy) 1st/6 - 3YO filly WON her
Crosspoint (Point Given) 2nd/7 - 2yo leased from Candi Cane was 2nd her in her restricted allowance. Not bad.
Headed South (Strider)8.5f D - 1st/6 - 2YO WON, leased from Candi Cane. And he’s by Strider (who I bred and raced so that’s also a bonus )
Highland Ballad (Cryptic Ballad)- 8.0f T - 1st/6 - 2YO WON her restricted allowance YAY!
Independence Day (AP Indy) - 5.5f D - 1st/6 - 2YO WON his restricted allowance! wow!
Irish Glory (Lonesome Glory)- 1st/6 - 3YO WON her restricted!
River Bride (Irish River)-15.0f D - 4th/6 - remains a maiden but at least came in the money
The Righteous Way (Foolhardy) 8.5f T - 4th/14 - 2yo was 4th in a large field. Not bad.
Valentina Glow (Moonover Boy) 10.5f SC - 4th/6 - older mare is probably ready for retirement.
10-6-1-0-3 - everybody in the money! Awesome weekend.
Our first day with a horse that hit the board, albeit a leased horse, but we’ll take it!
[color=green]Scanner Darkly, Leased from Hello Starling Farms: 2/6 in his 8f NW3 for 4yo+ on dirt at Woodbine.
That earned us a whopping 3k, but hey-it’s a start!
