Racing How'd You Do?

Considering how rough this year has been, I was shocked to see Drunk Priest take the Preakness! By 4 lengths! Hopefully this means the old workout schedule I dug out is starting to turn the tide.

Wins:
Ch. Drunk Priest (3yo, Von Lichtenstein) in the Preakness Stakes (Gr. 1)

Single Sugar (4yo, Straticus) in a claiming race and stays home.

Awesome day! Had another homebred 2yo win his first time out, and although we didn’t get any stakes wins we had three horses place in their first stakes races. I was also pretty impressed with Space Festival’s 4th by a nose in the Preakness because I decided to throw her in that race last second and she raced against the boys.

I did this a few years back with some auction purchases, studied the training schedules of some of the top stables to help identify where I thought I could be better.

Definitely was hoping for better in the stakes, but overall a great day. At least Seven Rings saved us with 1 stakes placing.
