• Hard to believe but the flood of great news with Lisa Limon keeps on coming. Today her half-brother Snow Man won an allowance race by 8 & ¾ lengths, going away in a cakewalk and doubling his lifetime earnings. He’s already stakes placed (2nd by a neck in his 2nd career start) and appears to be stakes quality. This is a very important boost to Lisa’s own pedigree, aside from all the good news with the red hot sire she’s in foal to, Liam’s Map.  Last weekend Liam’s Map’s daughter Wicked Whisper won the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont Park, going away and trainer Steve Asmussen reports she is being pointed for the Breeder’s Cup at the beginning of November (conveniently right before Lisa is scheduled to sell at Keeneland). Coupled with Basin’s win in the Grade 1 Hopeful at Saratoga last month, Liam’s Map now has two grade one winners, the most of any freshman sire this year and a very rare feat indeed. With a Grade 1 winning filly and a Grade 1 winning colt plus several impressive other maiden special weight winners who look like stakes quality runners, anything else would just be icing on the cake. Lisa Limon, an allowance winning filly by Scat Daddy from a young and attractive female family in foal to Liam’s Map on one early cover (breeding) should be a filly in great demand at Keeneland next month. Congratulations to all her owners! 
  • Giuliana Vee had a nice 5 furlong work today at Monmouth Park. She worked in company with two other horses from the gate, showed plenty of speed from the rail although she did hesitate when she got dirt in her face on the turn (a good learning lesson).  Off of this she is probably one or two works away from being ready to run.

 

 

  • New Found Treasure, Life On the Edge and Magic Musketier will all be entered tomorrow (Wednesday) for races at three different tracks. A grass race at the Meadowlands for New Found Treasure, an allowance race at Laurel Park for Life on the Edge, and a dirt race at Fresno for Magic Musketier. Hoping we have some good news to report on the entry front tomorrow afternoon.
  • Rapstorerocks spiked a high fever yesterday and didn’t eat. Our vet drew a blood which was ok and this morning the fever was gone and he ate up his feed so looks to be something of no consequence. He is supposed to be entered Thursday for Sunday at Laurel Park and trainer Kelly Breen plans to monitor him closely. If all is well the next 48 hours he’ll be entered, if there’s any sign of illness we’ll pass and wait for the next spot.  
  • Night Of Idiots excellent out of her race at Golden Gate Fields, a good 3rd off a layoff. With this one under her belt and a switch to dirt next time she should be tough to beat. There’s a perfect spot for her at Golden Gate at the end of October.
  • No Good Deed will ship into trainer Ron Spatz at Gulfstream Park as soon as we can find a van for her.  
  • Shake It Up Baby training at T-Square Stud and doing super.
  • ShimmyShimmy Shake doing very well at Penn National with trainer Mark Salvaggio and should be ready to run as soon as she’s ‘out of jail’ (can run outside of Monmouth Park where she was claimed) at the end of October.
  • More Ice is back in training at Los Alamitos and doing well.  “He didn’t lose much (fitness) at the farm. Maybe work 3-4 times and look for  a race”, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
  • Bullion is doing well in Kentucky, training at Ellis Park. Trainer Steve Asmussen (leading trainer in North America this year and the trainer of both of Liam’s Map’s stakes winners, Basin and Wicked Whisper, interestingly) reports he’s been working on building up muscle he lost while on the farm. Says the horse is training well and very sound, no leg or other issues. His plan is to get a race or two into him in Louisiana later this fall and hopefully have him sharp and ready for the Oaklawn Park meet that begins in January. Oaklawn has some of the largest purses in the nation at all levels and Steve feels he’ll be a really good fit there and have a shot to earn some serious purse money at that meet.
