  • The Fasig-Tipton 2yo sale in Maryland is almost upon us. Under tack show begins this week and we’ll be there. Stay tuned for more updates and information as sale time approaches.
  • Thanks again to everyone who was able to join us for our seminar ‘Buying Horses at Auction’ last week. Another excellent turnout, over 25 people, really nice to see so many owners and friends. Look for our next seminar in July.
  • Congratulations to the connections of Tiz The Law, winner of the Belmont Stakes and a very nice horse despite coming along in a crazy year and the Acorn winning filly Gamine, perhaps the fastest three year old of either sex.

Nice works for our two year olds as they approach their debuts…

  • Fire’s Finale had another fine breeze Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park and is ready to run. Off of this, we’ll see how he comes out of it and look at entering Wednesday for Saturday, or next week for the following week. All systems go at this point, ahead of schedule. You can see him galloping Saturday in the Vimeo link and the work on Sunday, along with all his previous works. He's worked 6 times since coming to Gulfstream, each about a week apart at increasingly longer distances, all of them well within himself.

  • Seven Seven breezed this morning at Monmouth Park and is making steady progress towards his debut. He’s had three works since arriving at Monmouth at the beginning of June, each about 1 week apart and all of them quick without being asked. Really couldn’t ask for more at this point. If all keeps going this well he’ll be ready to run towards the end of next month.

  • Pango runs Wednesday at Gulfstream Park. Doing well and fits in this spot. Right distance, level, and post.
  • Life on the Edge banged her knee on the screen of her stall last night at Monmouth Park. She had superficial swelling according to Kelly Breen. Assuming she’s ok tomorrow she’ll be entered at Laurel Park Wednesday for Saturday, with a Delaware Park race as a backup.
  • Giuliana Vee good and should be ready to run at Penn National in early July.

 

All three horses who ran at Penn National on the first night of racing for the season there last week good out of their races.

  • No Good Deed good out of a much improved effort, finishing a close and closing 4th, beaten about 4 lengths for the win and about 2 lengths for 2nd. It was a decent race, especially considering she hadn’t run since February and this was a very fast run race for the level, so we’d expect her to move forward off this one and find her way to the winner’s circle at Penn soon.
  • New Found Treasuregood and will be entered Wednesday for the following week at Penn; just her spot. She should be fit and ready for that one and other distance grass races all summer.
  • Rapstorerocks fine out of a good 2nd despite the wrong distance – surface. A nice tightener to have him ready for longer races as things open up at Penn. Off this race he too looks ready for the winner’s circle shortly.

 

  • Lisa Limon and her Liam’s Map foal both well in Kentucky. We got a bit of really good news from the recently concluded OBS 2yo in training sale when a Liam’s Map filly sold for $700,000, an especially impressive number considering the overall sale results.
