Racing How'd You Do?
1

I was away yesterday so couldn’t do the claimers… and today I managed not to look what pretty ponies were entered :wink:
Meanwhile, our kids are doing okay - some new faces in the group of successful ones:

Wins:
[color=red]Satin on Steel (3yo, Magic Cross) in a maiden - I claimed this girl after she ran 20 races as a 2yo for Final Furlong, totally unplaced but I was impressed that she was safe & sound! I don’t know why FF was picking her so often. Now, at Clicker Lab she’s becoming more successful each time out.

Shows:
[color=blue]Oh Hay (3yo, Von Lichtenstein) in a NW2 Allowance - his first time in the money
[color=blue]Leeway (3yo, Formal Occasion) in the Best Turn Stakes (Ungr.) - his first stakes place!

Fourths:
[color=blue]Water Temple (3yo, Bellagio) in a NW1 Allowance - I feel like he can still do better
[color=red]Rodarte (3yo, I’m No Fool) in a maiden - she has never earned any points yet, but we’re patient…

Fifths:
[color=blue]Ch. Crème Brûlée (3yo, Candidate) in the Palm Beach Stakes (Gr. 3) - slightly disappointing that
[color=red]Ch. Filipendulous (3yo, My Lucky Day) in the La Habra Stakes (Gr. 3)

Also Rans:
[color=red]Meva Nit d’Estiu (4yo, Created) 6th in a NW3 Allowance - she scored one win on each track… we’re thinking of retiring her now
[color=red]Twelve Monkeys (5yo, Sixth Day) 7th in the Davona Dale Stakes (Gr. 2) - best speed figure though!

2

Only one runner out but two came home  ::)

Wins:
[color=blue]April Fools’ Day (3yo, Candidate) in a NW1 Allowance

Also Rans:
[color=red]Silly Fuel (3yo, Deep Impact) 6th in a claiming race. First ever start, hopefully can only get better from here! Out of a half-sister to What’s Debatable and Major’s Flight.

3

Really nice day out for us, hopefully the ponies keep this momentum going into March :slight_smile:

Wins:
[color=red]Tottenham Time (4yo, Tottenham Hotspur) in a NW2 Allowance - First win of the year after a couple nice places, this girl seems to be hitting her stride :slight_smile:
[color=red]Ch. Mirror Magic (4yo, Highland Magic) in the Davona Dale Stakes (Gr. 2) - First start with us since getting her from Shelbie’s auction, glad to see her get a stakes win and her Champion title!

Places:
[color=blue]Desert Sand (3yo, Dixie Time) in a NW1 Allowance - A recent claimer, it’s only his 3rd start so I’m hoping he’ll just keep getting better.
[color=red]Separate Garden (3yo, Blue Ensign) in a Starter Allowance - Basically the same story as Desert Sand, though this was only her 2nd start.

Also Rans:
[color=blue]Hypnotic Channel (3yo, Prince Of Wonder) 7th in a NW3 Allowance
[color=blue]Be Frank With Me (4yo, Frankel) 10th in an Allowance

My horses rarely run anything worth mentioning, we have to enter claimers even to see a win. :stuck_out_tongue:

Wins:
[color=blue]Soft Sun (3yo, Chivalry) in a claiming race

Shows:
[color=red]Crooked Kitten (3yo, National Post) in a maiden – actually quite pleased with this one, her 2nd start of the year and 2nd time on the board

Also Rans:
[color=blue]Who Doctor Who (4yo, Gilded Saint) 7th in an Allowance – apparently he’s forgotten what he learned at boot camp with Aunt [member=1299]Shelbie[/member]
