• Trilby had terrible luck at Gulfstream Park today; sat a good trip early, made a huge run on the far turn and got shut off horribly when another horse clipped heels with her at the top of the stretch, losing all shot. Very fortunate she did not go down, scary moment.  A full field makes it tough, especially on the grass with the rail way out, it’s why you always read-hear how vital the ‘trip’ is and how there’s 1 way to win a race and 100 to lose it. She was claimed from us and while nothing wrong with that, we plain had bad luck not to get a win with a hard-trying filly who ran well twice for us. First time she was 7 wide after making a big move and finished 3^rd, this time she was making a winning move and clipped heels at a key spot.
• Our super two year old out of Exchanging Fire, now officially named Fire’s Finale, shipped into trainer Ron Spatz at Gulfstream Park. You can see photos of him leaving Ocala and arriving at Gulfstream Park. You can also see a video of him in his final day of training at T-Square Stud on Monday here.  He is training with Ron now, went to the track with another horse today and yesterday and did fine. As of now will point towards his debut at Gulfstream Park, depending on the status of racing up north this spring-summer. When Monmouth Park opens, we still plan to bring him up north to race.
• Night of Idiots gets in Saturday at Los Alamitos. Horrible purse and wrong distance but better than just sitting in the barn until racing resumes at Golden Gate Fields. She looks absolutely terrific, if she can handle a super-short 4.5 furlong race will run very well here.
• Race at Gulfstream Park for Rapstorerocks got 24 entries last time and he didn’t get in. They brought the race back again for Sunday and this time he is #14 in a 16 horse field, only 12 can run, so he will NOT RACE unless there are two scratches by Sunday morning. Not likely but will keep our fingers crossed. If he does run he’ll be on the far outside. Unless you read otherwise, he’s NOT running Sunday.
• Races at Gulfstream Park for Life on the Edge did not go for either Saturday or Sunday at Gulfstream Park. She’s ahead of schedule; we had been looking at a race the first week of May for her debut and that will likely be the next option. Like almost any horse coming off a layoff she’ll need the first race back but it’s great to see she is training so forwardly. 
• Pango fine out of his race and galloping towards his next start, could be entered next week.
• Lookinlikeaqueen excellent out of her race at Gulfstream Park against a large tough group. She had the unfavorable far outside post but was able to get a good position, made a nice move turning for home and just flattened out in the stretch. It was a classic race for a horse who lost a little fitness since missing a race 2 weeks ago with a cough and just came up a little short. To quote trainer Ron Spatz after the race “This race will be better than 2 works. She tried hard and came back good and it should set her up for a big race next time”.
• New Found Treasure, Giuliana Vee and No Good Deed all good after their works at Penn National. All are ready to run. Like everyone else, we are just waiting for racing to resume in the northeast. The hoped for date for racing to return to Penn is towards the end of May, obviously subject to change.
• Seven Seven training at Overbrook Farm in New Jersey. He will train there for a few weeks and then ship into Belmont Park until Monmouth Park opens. We are down to the final share for this horse, thanks to all for your support.
