11/14

Racing How'd You Do?
1

I think shifting to a slightly different approach in training has helped my kids. Not as “Wow!” as last meet’s results, but still better than what I’ve been getting pre-training change.

[color=blue]Macau ran 2nd/8 in his NW3.
[color=red]Irish Miss was 2nd/13 in her OA.
[color=blue]Rock Stardom was 2nd/9 in his OA.

[color=blue]Paris Song (2yo, A.P. Indy) was 3rd/12 in a NW3.

[color=green]French Riviera went unclaimed in his 30k claimer with a 4th/11 in a OA.
[color=red]A.P. Goodyear managed a 4th/14 in her OA.

And five also-rans including a mare who I’m sure will be heading to the broodmare band next year.

WINS:

[color=blue]Dawson’s Rudge (3yo, A.P. Indy) won his NW2, even though he’s unhappy with the equipment.

[color=blue]Mimic (homebred, 2yo, I’m Your Angel) won his NW3, his second win ever, this time on turf.

[color=red]Girlfight (homebred, 3yo, Nightfight) won her OA, earning her second speed record (8f dirt this time).

[color=red]Comedy Queen (homebred, 2yo, High Chances) won, breaking her maiden finally!

[color=red]Mango Frappe (4yo, Sunday Silence) won her NW3, showing she’s still got it.  She went underraced last year (only 2 starts), but did well at 2 also.  Looks to have sustainability, which I like…

[color=blue]Imprimis (homebred, 3yo, King David) won his NW3 over jumps.  He’s consistently in the money, but it’s always nice to see him in the winner’s circle instead.

PLACES:

[color=blue]Bear Witness (2yo, Witness) ran second in his NW3.  The poor fellow hasn’t had a chance to prove himself at the lower levels, so he truly is better than his record would suggest.  We are just getting to know him - watch out, world, because he’s more than meets the eye!

OTHER:

[color=red]Ciao Bella (3yo, Alley Cat) ran a solid 4th in the G3 Turnback the Alarm Stakes against some tough ladies.
[color=blue]Allinvain (homebred, 3yo, Worth My While) was a disappointing 8th in the G3 Stuyvesant Stakes against a who’s who field.

Nice day.
2yo [color=red]Chalula One finally broke her maiden in her seventh race, but she was always in the money. This was an impressive win by 2 3/4 lengths in a full field of 14 horses.
Recently purchased 3yo [color=red]On The Road Again finished 3rd/10 in a maiden.
Created 3yo [color=blue]Click and Play finished 5th/11 in a claimer. He clearly doesn’t like short distance, we’re thinking of steeplechases.
2yo colt [color=blue]Im Your Daddy wasn’t competitive in his maiden, he finished 6th/14

We had a nice day at the races!

We recently purchased [color=green]The Gambler at auction solely because he’s the half-brother of our beloved [color=green]Gambler’s Road. In his first race for us he placed third in an allowance.

[color=blue]Bold Legion won another for us today. He might run in a stakes to close out his year.
