Big win for Annie's Candy, two year olds work, and more...

• Annie’s Candy got a great setup and moved the field down in the stretch to win going away today in Race 4 at Golden Gate Fields in the fast time of 109:91. It was a super impressive effort when returned to his favorite track and dropped into a spot where he towered over the field class wise. He was not claimed and we’re glad that was the case off this performance but claim or no, the goal with all horses is to win races by keeping yourself in the best company and your horses in the worst company and we did exactly that here. Kenwood partner Helen Hansel was on hand to welcome Annie’s Candy into the winner’s circle and kick off another big weekend for us on a very good note indeed.

• Life On the Edge, Giuliana Vee and Shake It Up Baby all had their first timed works at Monmouth this morning (below). Most people have heard this 100 times from us by now but since we do have a lot of new co-owners, the time means virtually nothing, especially at this stage. Almost any horse can be made to work a ‘fast’ time, all work times are a lot slower than the time even a slow horse runs in most races.

• Two big entries tomorrow: Blue Eyed Beth is the morning line favorite at Gulfstream Park in race 4 on Friday and Exchanging Ember is the 2^nd choice in race 2 at Penn National on Friday. The horse doesn’t care about the odds and neither do we, except that it shows they are well placed and IF they get a good trip and IF they run their best races they would be very competitive in these spots.
• Diamond Play makes her 2019 debut at Monmouth Park on Saturday in race 8. It’s a huge 11 horse field, a super tough open allowance, and without question she’ll need the race after the layoff. Been training well and this will be a good starting point for what we hope will be a very successful season for her against New Jersey breds in future Monmouth starts.
• Starring John Wain makes his career debut on turf in race 5 on Saturday at Golden Gate Fields. There’s one shipper from Southern California who will be the overwhelming favorite, he fits with all the others if he can handle the new surface..
• Nice work for Bullion, as he points for his next start off his outstanding maiden win. Here’s a link to Bullion’s work, he looks just magnificent, does everything like a good horse
• Also works Monday (below) Vibrant Spirit, More Ice and Starring John Wain on Sunday.
• More Ice right on track for the $150,000 Cinema Stakes in June and Starring John Wain runs this weekend as above.

All others well from coast to coast.
