1 for 2....

  • Shimmyshimmy Shake started off the day with a 5th in a 10 horse field at Monmouth Park. She was sent to the lead, battled with the heavy favorite, and tired late. Unlike her previous two starts for us, she tried hard here against a solid field in a race run in a fast time for the level. If she can repeat this effort against slightly softer company, she has a shot to get to the winner’s circle next time.
  • New Found Treasure ran hard and well today to finish a close 3rd, a monstrous improvement off the day we claimed her two weeks ago when she was 11th, beaten over 20 lengths with no obvious excuse. She came out of it sound and trainer Kelly Breen opted to run her back on short rest here and she fired a big race, sitting well back on the rail and making a big run on the far turn. Had she not been in tight at a couple of key points on the turn and at the top of the stretch, she’d have been even closer, but it was a fine effort nonetheless.  
  • Fifth time was the charm as Solar finally gets in for tomorrow (Sunday) after four previous entries. He’s in the first race of the day in an 8 horse field. Not a bad step or issue since claiming him at the end of last month. He’s ready and looks like he’s sitting on a big debut effort for us, which would make for a very nice weekend overall.
  • Works (below) for our California horses; Magic Musketier and More Ice breezed at Los Alamitos and Starring John Wain breezed at Del Mar.  We’re going to pass the sprint July 31st at Del Mar for Starring John Wain in favor of a similar race going 1 mile in a couple of weeks at Del Mar. All three doing super, as is Annie's Candy in northern California, who should run next month at his favorite track, Golden Gate Fields.
  • All horses from morning training at Monmouth Park came out of their works well. Start a Fire good out of first (easy) timed work as he approaches his debut, Life On the Edge  well after breezing quickly in company as she approaches her 2nd career start, and newly named Smarty Cat (Overanalyze group #53) and Rapstorerocks (Red Rocks group #54) worked fast and well together as they approach their debuts and came back good.  A lot of action ahead with our two year old crop! All works below, trainer Kelly Breen continues to be pleased at the progress all of these horses are making.
  • Exchanging Ember doing fine since returning to training at Penn National last week, fingers crossed for a return to the races next month. She’s expected to breeze early this week @Penn National.
