Not a great day by the numbers but two highlights I’m very excited about!
My two-year-old [color=red]Pride Lands became my first two-year-old to bring home a win. And to make it even sweeter, she’s Dark Continent’s first winner! We’re very proud of this little girl.
My $5k claim [color=blue]Uncle Pennybags won the Grade 3 La Troienne for his first stakes win. I hope he can keep this up, because I really like this colt.
My three other horses sent out failed to hit the board. Two year old [color=red]Kokoro no Kizu Ni ran 5th/14 (well enough that I’ll keep her out and see if we can’t improve a bit), and my other two year old [color=blue]Dual Honor ran 9th/14 (coming home to mature). [color=blue]Scanner Darkly isn’t quite sure what’s going on coming off of a rest, and he ran 5th/8.
2yos:
Pearls of Wisdom (Strider) 4th
Chance of Rain (High Chances) 5th
Things Like Fate (Affirmed) 5th
Point of Pride (Point Given) 2nd
Joey the Giant (Giants Causeway) 4th
3yos+
Forgotten Road won her allowance.
Tickled Pink and Dagnabit went 1-2 in their allowance.
Nolanda was 4th in her claimer. Jury is out on whether she’s been claimed.
This I Believe was a 2nd in her allowance.
Soupy was 4th in her stakes.
Out of Control was the only one off the board, finishing 10th. I think we may have to start looking for dates for the little lady. She’s been meh since early February.
And we’re waiting on NCh. Demand the Best. A win would be nice, but we’ll take a paycheck of some sort. =)
We only sent out one today, which also happened to be our first 2yo starter of the year as well.
[color=blue]Life On The Moon (I’m Your Angel) pulled a shocker, well to us at least, and made his debut a winning one. We’re looking forward to seeing what this colt can do in the future.
2yo’s
[color=red]A.P. Goodyear won her debut by a nose. Interestingly, our other A.P. Indy filly also won her debut. Makes me wonder what our 3rd A.P. 2yo will do!
[color=red]Surroundsound Love (Double Cross) ran 6th/14 in her debut and will probably head home to mature.
[color=blue]Field of Diamonds (Ring of Fire) is definitely not ready, finishing 6th/14. He was 7th last time out, so he’ll also head home.
[color=blue]Manchester Fields (create) ran 8th/14; another heading home.
[color=red]Hills of Snow (Gimme a Shot) was 7th/14 in her debut.
[color=red]Gunningdownlove (Gunningdownromance) ran 2nd/14, so very happy! She’s only 14.1hh though, so not sure if I should send her home to grow or simply go slow.
[color=red]Cherokee Princess (Boldness Shows) was 3rd/14.
[color=blue]Pepper Bomb (create) was 2nd/14.
[color=red]Hollywood Lovesong (Rumor Has It) ran 5th/14.
The oldies (ish)
[color=red]Sun Godess SHOCKED me with a 2nd/5th in her NW2. I think we finally found her niche!
[color=red]Painted Sunset was turning wheels in her return to the track, finishing 6th/8 in her NW3. Wondering is SC is her route - Sun Godess is by the same sire and didn’t pick up until the switch to SC.
In the UNG Smart Halo Stakes, [color=green]Orkenstorm ran 4th/14 and [color=red]Black Clouds was 6th.
A shout-out congrats to Pride Lands - we own her dam!
[color=green]King of Surprise won his SC Allowance for 3yo. It’s his first win ever, and his first race for Clicker Lab. It’s also the first horse that I bought in the game.
[color=red]Classical Hightail won her maiden for 3yo+ fillies, also her first win ever and her second race for Clicker Lab.
[color=red]Private Party was 2nd in her Starter Allowance for 3yo+. Again, her first race for Clicker Lab - we claimed her on 26th March, from a race in which she was 3rd.
2yos:
Worth A Shot (Gimme A Shot) 7th
On Angel’s Wings (Slew O’Scots) 6th
Devil’s Chance (Devil May Care) 5th
Paparazzo (Witness) 14th
Full of Promise (Secretary) 10th
Harrison Ford (Witness) 10th
One of a Kind (No Duplicate) 1st
Raven’s Glory (Magic Glory) 7th
Songcatcher (Tiznow) 6th
We sent out a lot today so we’ll just mention those worth while.
2yos
[color=blue]Classy Point (Whats Your Point) finished 2nd.
[color=red]Daisy May Care (Devil May Care) stayed on the board again for 3rd.
[color=red]Fighin’ The Smoke (Nightfight) won her race. She placed last time so that’s another winnner for Nightfight, yay!!
[color=red]Inheritance (Nightfight) finished 2nd.
[color=blue]Peacemaker (Stike It Rich) finished 2nd.
[color=blue]Sadler’s Eclipse (Sadler’s Wells) came in 3rd.
[color=blue]Sponsored (Nightfight) finished 4th.
[color=red]Swing Jazz (Jazz It Up) failed to show much interest and finished 7th.
3yos+
[color=blue]Crowned In Dreams finished 2nd in the Grade 2 Black Stakes. This guy was a claimer last year and has really been a good racer earning almost a million for us so far.
[color=red]Ethereal Light surprised us with a 2nd place finish in the Mamzelle Stakes.
[color=blue]Hollyworth and [color=blue]Fleet Risk went 1 and 2 in their started allowance.
[color=blue]Lone Black Wolf won his claimer and his first time out this year. Luckily he wasn’t claimed.
[color=blue]Mulligan gave us another 3rd is his NW3 today.
[color=blue]Run It Up finally broke his maiden today in a NW1!
[color=red]Seahorse finished 3rd in a 70K allowance.
[color=red]Wise Lady finished 3rd in a full field in the Smart Halo Stakes.
[color=red]Wizardly Lady gave us a 2nd today in a NW3.
[color=red]Worth A Diamond continues to bring home a paycheck with a 4th place finish in the Grd 2 Linlithgow Stakes.
Stallion update: Nightfight is up to 4 winners and 4 placers this year out of 13 racers and of the five unplacers 2 have finished 4th and one 5th. That’s only 2 out of the money so far. I’m really feeling proud for my boy.
[color=green]Ch. Destiny Star placed 2[sup]nd[/sup] in a 6.5f Claiming that no one wanted him in. The poor guy was doing really badly for a while there even though he used to be such a winner. This race gives us hope for his career again.
3 horses, 2 wins and 1 place.
