Here are a couple of great photos of Start A Fire (group #47) this morning from Adam Parker. Adam explains, “......in a photo! By the slimmest of margins, Start a Fire, fully extended, nips his workmate at the wire. This was an open gallop this morning.” The horse is doing excellent, ready to come up to Monmouth Park in 2-3 weeks from now.

Giuliana Vee (group #51), Life On the Edge (group #50), and Shake It Up Baby (group #49) all came out of the gate together at Monmouth Park this morning (see video below). Not the best video quality but trainer Kelly Breen (who took the video) explains “There’s a 4th horse not yours that came out with them (far outside). They all should have just been walking out. They were being asked too much for their 2nd time in the gate but they all handled it. All doing well”. Look for a timed work for all three shortly.
Entry and horse news….
- Exchanging Ember gets in the spot we wanted, long against fillies next week at Penn National May 17th. Right level for another good effort from her and we are eager to see her run.
- Annie’s Candy gets in the right spot at Golden Gate Fields, race 4 on Thursday, May 16th.
- Red Shelby runs Sunday in race 5 at Golden Gate Fields. Takes a nice drop in class, smaller field, good spot. Looking for a much-improved effort here.
- Blue Eyed Beth will be entered for a race at Gulfstream this week, if that doesn’t go there’s another spot for her in about 10 days. Doing really well.
- Diamond Play on schedule for her season debut May 18th, enter Wed. Hoping it goes at Monmouth for a very nice purse.
- More Ice on track for his next stakes engagement June 2nd at Santa Anita, $150,000 purse and he’ll be ready
- Starring John Wain and possibly Run Macho Run will be entered for races this week at Golden Gate also. Both doing well.
- Seahawk Lisa arrived safely in California and is in training at Los Alamitos with assistant trainer Don Chatlos (who prepares most of Jerry’s two year olds). We purchased her last year as a yearling and were very pleased with her progress in Ocala this winter. Looking forward to her debut this summer in California.
As usual, you can see up to date possible entries here. Please note this is where you go to find out things like “what race, what time” etc. You can also find that information on Equibase.
