A lot of exciting news but we’ll begin with an important Blog, take a look…
- Two big races today didn’t end up with as good a results as yesterday: Blue Eyed Beth sat just off the pace of two dueling leaders early, made a bold move in the stretch, than flattened out just a bit right at the wire to finish 5th while beaten just 1&3/4 lengths for the win in race 4 at Gulfstream Park. This filly always tries hard, but off this it appears she’s just not quite as quick on turf as she is on the dirt, so we’ll run her back on the dirt going forward.
- This evening, Exchanging Ember was the 2nd choice in race 2 at Penn National and sat a nice trip just off the pace also but failed to gain ground when asked, finishing 4th.
- Annie’s Candy good out of his impressive win yesterday in race 4 at Golden Gate Fields. He got a great setup and mowed the field down in the stretch to win going away in the fast time of 109:91. 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.
- Tomorrow, 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.
- Also tomorrow, 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.
- Taima The Hawk worked absolutely super this morning at Golden Gate (below)
- Life On the Edge, Giuliana Vee and Shake It Up Baby all good out of their first timed works yesterday at Monmouth Park.
- Bullion, Vibrant Spirit, More Ice and Starring John Wain all good out of recent works (below).
