  • Life on the Edge excellent out of a terrific work in company.
  • Fire’s Finale continues to train exceptionally well at Gulfstream Park (see new photo from yesterday morning). He worked this morning at Gulfstream Park, his first 3/8 officially timed work and once again we’ll let trainer Ron Spatz do the talking…. “Good morning, I know I told you that I wasn’t going to breeze Fire’s Finale for a while, but he did so good out of the gate the other day and track was good this morning so I went ahead and breezed him 3/8, by himself. He went a little better than 36, did it very easily, no urging, just the right way, 12 and change, 12 and change, and finished up in 11 and change. Pretty impressive, he has a lot of talent”.  As detailed in our blog post (link above and repeated at the end of this email), workout times aren’t always accurate and mean a lot less than how the horse did it. That said, he had by far the fastest work of the day and as Ron stated just above “did it very easily, no urging”. As well as he’s training, our plan is to stay at Gulfstream Park through his debut and then ship north to join the rest of the stable at Monmouth Park in July. All of this subject to change based on racing schedules, etc. What matters most is the horse is training absolutely great and is on track to run by the end of next month. We are very pleased and excited to see him make his debut.
  • Seven Seven looks absolutely super (see photo from his gallop this morning at Overbrook Farm in NJ) and a brief video here. He’s ready to go to the track anytime; he’ll ship into Monmouth Park as soon as Kelly’s horses arrive from Florida and get set up in June.
  • Pango fine and will be entered Wednesday for this weekend at Gulfstream Park. 
  • Lookinlikeaqueen ready to roll and will also be entered this week for this weekend at Gulfstream Park. She had a nice, easy maintenance work today to keep her sharp for her upcoming race and went easily and well.
  • New Found Treasure, Giuliana Vee and No Good Deed all well at Penn National. Like everyone we are waiting for racing to resume at Penn. Here are photos of Giuliana Vee, Rapstorerocks and No Good Deed this morning taken by trainer Mark Salvaggio.
