Racing How'd You Do?
1

I entered so many horses! And even more for Saturday, partly because we don’t have the new schedule yet, but also I wanted to race the remaining 2yo’s at least once this year.

Wins:
Blitzschnell (2yo, Quintet) in a NW2 Allowance
Ch. Vanished Valentina (3yo, Invasor) in an Allowance
Ch. Hans (2yo, Space Chips) in the Highland Bandit Breeders’ Stakes (Gr. 1) - he’s now the first millionaire for Space Chips, and he needs 5 wins of any grade to qualify for stud. I hope that he’ll accomplish this as a 3yo! He seems quite versatile, like his sire, but they mostly ran on dirt; while Hans’s dam’s twin brother NCh. Irish Gold was a turf specialist.

Places:
Rapid Idea (2yo, Black Light II) in a NW3 Allowance
Ch. Lycaena (3yo, Invasor) in an Allowance

Shows:
Marlene Dietrich (2yo, Dark Continent) in a maiden - her first race, because she still has some more to grow… but maybe she won’t?

Also Rans:
Scherz (2yo, Quintet) 6th in a NW2 Allowance

Pass the Buck is still looking for his 7th stakes win. It’s hard to be so close and yet so far! The Moor of Venice has been having a really good year, and I hope it continues through next. It’d be really cool to have an Al Mundhir son at stud (and his granddam being WCh. Dreamboat doesn’t hurt at all…). Will try not to count chickens…
