More bombs than anything but some showed up! Lots of 2yo’s sent home to veg and get fat until January.

[color=red]Daytona Weekend ran 1st/7 in her OA.
[color=blue]Massacre was 2nd/6 in his NW3. He had never gone over 11f so finishing 2nd at 15f is very nice!
[color=blue]Field of Diamonds was 3rd/6 in his NW3. I appreciate how consistent he is, but he’s always 2nd or 3rd! Bugger is still a maiden.
[color=blue]Rocket Smoke was 3rd/10 in an OA.

Only two out.

[color=red]Chance Encounter won her NW2  :slight_smile:

[color=blue]Indy Bandit was 3rd in his SA.

Three 2yo colts ran, but probably they shouldn’t have :wink: only one is worth mentioning - [color=blue]Sugarbird finished 2nd/12 in NW1 allowance. This is his best result so far.

Finally had a decent day, sent out 14 and only 3 out of the money.

Really, really nice day in a string of four now.  Didn’t get a chance to post Wednesday, but we had 11 out and 10 in the money.  Today’s record was super pleasing, though the good luck’s got to run out at some point. :smiley:  Seven out today and seven in the money.

[color=red]Frontier Days, claimed back in January, finally posted her first win in a NW1 for 3yo+F.  Seems she liked the distance and equipment change.  1st/6

[color=blue]Pay the Boatman finally showed up, wiring a longer NW3 for 2yo’s.  Hopefully he’s inherited some of daddy’s talent.  1st/14

[color=blue]King’s Cross took ten races to do it, but found the winner’s circle at last, leading a field of 6 in a NW3 for 3yo - start to finish.  1st/6

[color=blue]Raise a Light is living up to his beautiful breeding, and though he’s small, he won an Allowance for 2yo in impressive fashion.  1st/7

[color=red]Copano Bay had a small field to run against, but she relished an equipment change and brought home a win.  1st/3

[color=red]Taking Vegas may have come back a little fast from her last race, but she just missed winning by a nose.  2nd/7

[color=blue]Homesteader is slowly making his presence known.  Trying some different equipment next time out.  5th/12

Sent only 3 out, but a lovely group they were:

2YO homebred [color=red]Holy Smokes (x Holy Bull) broke her maiden in her second attempt, after a switch to dirt and mixed company.

2YO homebred [color=red]Queen Catarina (x King David) won her open allowance.  In 6 starts, she has won 5 times.  I really want to get this girl into a stakes race soon…

2YO [color=red]Montalvo (x Point Given) ran 2nd in her NW2.  Still trying to figure out how to get this girl to be consistant, but she’s been 50% win/place, so I can’t complain too much.

I’m so, so glad to have my 2YOs do well this year - traditionally mine all flop until well into their 3YO year.  ::)
