2/12

Day of money! I needed one.

[color=red]White Picket Fence ran in 7.0f SC Gr. 3 Shirley Jones Handicap for 3yo+ F/M and placed 1st/10. That was an awesome surprise since her only other win is in a NW1.

[color=red]Secretsofthesky ran in 7.0f NW1 Allowance for 4yo+ F/M (Dirt) and placed 3rd/6. She has an unfortunate habit of being mediocre.

[color=red]Stari Most ran in 5.0f Ungr. Hollie Hughes Stakes for 3yo (Turf) and placed 4th/10. In a stakes, I’ll take it!

[color=red]Scottish Magic ran in 6.5f Ungr. Dearly Precious Stakes for 3yo F/M (Dirt) and placed 5th/10. Again, stakes, I’ll take it.

A very good day with 6 winners, 5 of which were SW and included one G1W. With over $650k in earnings today, this takes our total earnings for this year to over $3.5m. 10 out of todays 14 runners finished in the first two, including two races in which our runners finished 1-2.

14(13)-6(5)-4(4)-0-2(2) $683,250

In addition to the above runners, we claimed [color=blue]Fighting Back for $5k. He is out of one of our successful mares, Gold-rated [color=red]Back For More and, even though, at 5YO, he is older than we normally like to purchase, we felt that to be able to get him for that price, especially as he was listed For Sale for $50k, we couldn’t resist putting in a claim for him.

Better day than usual though not fantastic. Oh well, we’re slowly improving!

Blood Phoenix (5yo, Akhetnaten) placed 1st/6 in her NW3. We had just claimed her for 10k about two weeks ago so this was a lovely reward!

We successfully claimed [color=red]Cosmic Cause (3yo, Giant’s Causeway) for a steal of 5k and ran 2nd/6. She’s out of our mare, Cosmic Beam, and has so far racked up a record of 5: 0-2-0-3.

[color=blue]Field of Diamonds (5yo, Ring of Fire) was 3rd/6 in his claimer and stays home.

[color=blue]Stressful Reality (3yo, Stressed) managed a 4th/10 in the G2 Hutcheson Stakes.
[color=blue]Red Dog (5yo, Almost Home) managed 4th/7 in his OA and will head home to rest.

Three also-rans.
