• More Ice was 9th of 12 horses in the Oceanside Stakes opening day today at Del Mar. Obviously a big field and of course a tough group but he had no excuse as he was next to the favorite and eventual winner at the back of the pack for most of the race and simply didn’t fire the way the other horse did when asked for run.  He passed several horses late and was beaten 7 lengths for the win in a blanket finish, as the chart put it just “outkicked”. He’s a nice horse but just a cut below this level, plain & simple. In fairness he’s also been in training for over a year without any time off so maybe he’d benefit from a little freshening too.
  • Here’s a great video of our lovely Overanalyze filly (group #53) and newly named Rapstorerocks (Red Rocks (IRE) colt group #54) breezing together from the gate Monday morning at Monmouth. Both are doing really well, both look to be on track to make their debuts next month and just FYI, both groups are nearly sold out now (thank you!) 

 

 

  • Our most recent addition to the Kenwood family, New Found Treasure is doing very well, claimed for Kenwood and group #54. With the Red Rocks colt in group #54 doing super, should be a lot of fun this summer

  • Life On the Edge doing well post-race, looking to breeze her in about 10 days and hopefully make her next start in August. She showed a ton of speed and talent, battling head to head for the lead in a fast pace for most of her debut. With the speed she showed she should be tough to beat with a race under her belt next time out.
  • Exchanging Ember doing fine since retuning to training at Penn National last week, fingers crossed for a return to the races next month.
  • Bullion arrived in Kentucky, joining trainer Steve Asmussen’s string there. Steve reports he’s in good shape and he will be looking to get him in the entries shortly. The attached photo isn’t the best one, but you can see he’s well and strong and has arrived safely.

  • Solar doing super, not a bad step or issue since claiming him at the end of last month. We entered him for a race on Haskell Day that did not go, we are looking for a spot for him actively. He’s ready and looks like he’s sitting on a big debut effort for us.
  • Night of Idiots is back on the work tab at the Sacramento Fair (below), should be ready to run in a few weeks.
  • Vibrant Spirit fine (see recent work at Gulfstream below).
  • Giuliana Vee well at farm, expect her to be ready to return to training by the end of July or early August.
  • Start A Fire training well at Monmouth, heading towards his debut.
  • Works below for Magic Musketier (should run in August at Del Mar), Starring John Wain (race for him July 31st at Del Mar) and Annie’s Candy (will be entered tomorrow for a race this weekend at Sacramento).
  • ShimmyShimmy Shake well, looking for a race for her too at Monmouth.
  • Lisa Limon fine at farm in Kentucky, in foal, will be sold in November or January.

All others well, more to follow, the Haskell is this Saturday, see you there for a great day or racing!
