Meh day.

7(2) - 2 - 0 - 2(1) - 0

WINS

[color=blue]Coup d’Etat (3yo, Ring of Fire) won his claiming race.  I’m still trying to find him a new home.

[color=blue]Laudri (3yo, Point Given) won his starter allowance.  He’s a consistent winner.

PLACES

None.

SHOWS

[color=blue]Crucifix (2yo, Spock) was 3rd in his NW2.  It is his first time on the board in 3 starts.

[color=red]Ch. Lovespell (4yo, Magic Cross) was 3rd in the ungraded Cab Calloway.

ALSO RANS

Grand Love (2yo, High On Love) was 5th in his NW1.
Holy Smokes (3yo, Holy Bull) was 5th in the G3 Just A Game Breeders’ Cup.
Indywind (6yo, A.P. Indy) was 6th in her OA.  Just two points away from a title!  Arghhhh.

3

[color=blue]So Naive (3yo, Gunningdownromance) placed 1st in his Starter Allowance, with a SF of 153.  He’s now 2 for 2 since I claimed him in April.

[color=red]Crosspoint (4yo, Point Given) placed 3rd in an NW3.  She’s only been out of the top 3 once in 7 starts this year, but she doesn’t win all that often.  She’s shaping up to be a nice broodmare prospect, but I’ll have to try to breed in a bit more courage/desire to win.

[color=green]BoyOhBoyOhBoy (5yo, Tiznow) 8th/13 in an OA.  I think I’ll see how he performs in claiming races next.

4

Only one out. 2yo [color=blue]Luminoso (created) won his second start by 4 lengths, despite carrying the highest weight. He also earned better speed figure than in his maiden.

5

Nice day - only 1 out of the money.

5(2)-2(1)-0-2-0 $651,500

WINS:
[color=red]Brightest Light (5yo, Akhetnaten) in an OA. Still going strong, despite her age and broken leg at 3.

[color=blue]Epic Proportions (3yo, Giant’s Causeway) finally got a win in the Belmont Stakes. He was second in both the Derby and the Preakness, so we’re thrilled with his Triple Crown performance. We’re beginning to get our hopes up on studifying this boy - he’s only got two stakes wins so far, but he’s never been below 3rd in a stakes race.

SHOWS:
[color=red]Lost Opportunity (5yo, High Chances) in an OA.

[color=red]Live A Little (3yo, Jazz It Up) in an OA.
