Just one horse out today:
[color=red]Circuit Line, a 3 year old create recently purchased from Cirque Du Soleil Stables, finished a close second in her NW2. It looks like her stay at the barn helped get her interested in running again, and maybe we can expect a win from her next time out!

It wasn’t our stakes ponies’ best day, but I’m hoping it’s because they were a little fat after over a month’s rest at the farm…

2yo [color=blue]Aguirre finished 3rd/10 in Gr. 1 Futurity Stakes, in which stablemate [color=blue]Zimbardo finished 5th.

3yo [color=red]Akasha ran 8th/10 in Gr. 2 Townsend Mischief Stakes, her first stakes race.

7

Pretty nice day! Only 2 of 6 failed to bring home checks but since they’re both 2yo’s, I’ll forgive them.

[color=green]Dandywine (3yo, Highland Bandit) FINALLY broke his maiden in a NW1! Only took him 25 tries. He’s been super frustrating this year because he’s hit the board 9 of 13 times before today, but no wins. He’s a half-brother to I’m Your Angel.

[color=red]Bella Bonita (3yo, Smart Strike) ran 2nd/6 in her NW3.
[color=blue]Red Dog (3yo, Almost Home) ran 2nd/7 in his OA. I really want to try him in a stakes (has hit the board 10/11 times this year) but finding 11f+ dirt stakes races is a pain.

[color=blue]Hypnotic (3yo, Must Be Magic) was 4th/10 in the G3 Star Kingdom Stakes.

Also-rans: [color=red]Hold the Cream (6th/13 NW2), [color=blue]Love the Rain (8th/10 NW1).
