Racing How'd You Do?
1

11 runners sent out today, only one didn’t bring home a paycheck. Our 3yo’s seem to be hitting form at just the right time as our horses finished 1-2  in both of the English Classics run today to go with the 1-2 in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on Wednesday and the 1-4 in the Kentucky Derby last Saturday. Also encouraging is the fact that our 2yos seem to be learning what this racing game is about. After a slow April in which the best they could manage was two 2nds, our 2yo record for May so far is 17-4-2-4-1.

All over the board, but we brought home a handful of wins.

So, highlights.

Roguish (Highland Laird) won the Three Chimneys Race in Churchill, making him 3 for 3 for this season. I know I’m counting my chickens before they hatch, but I’d be delighted to stand another Laird son. Just saying.

Nairobi (Dark Continent) won an OA against the girls.

Setlik (Highland Magic) won her NW3 against the girls.

Dreams of Glory (Magic Glory) won her OA against the boys.

Hero for Hire (Ring of Fire) was 2nd in his NW2.

Pearls of Wisdom (Stride) was 2nd in her OA.

Show
Repudiate (Long Live the King) was 3rd in his OA.

Cold Rain (Dark Continent) came back from a minor injury to finish 3rd in an OA.

Handful of 4ths and a bunch off the board. Better luck next time.

3yo [color=blue]Montecristo finished 3rd/6 in a NW1.

4yo [color=red]Ch. Crownette finished 3rd/10 in Very One Stakes.

Sent out 3 and 4 came home.

We successfully claimed [color=red]Bella Bonita (Smart Strike) who ran 3rd/6.

[color=red]Palm Reader (Seattle Sorcerer) finished 4th/8 in her claimer and stays home.

[color=blue]Stressful Reality (2yo, Stressed) finished 4th/12 in the Ungr. Three Chimneys Juvenile. It was his first time on an off track and his stakes debut, so we’re quite happy and hopeful for a better go next time out.

Also-ran: [color=red]Espionage (2yo, Slew O’Scots) was 13th/14 but all her half-siblings seemed to take until age 4 or 5 to get going.
