Very exciting day!
- Some very exciting news this afternoon with Lisa Limon! Palace Malice, the hot young sire she will be bred back to in 2020, had an impressive winner of the Risen Star stakes today. Mr. Monomoy won wire to wire, going away at the finish, and is now one of the early Kentucky Derby top contenders. This gives Palace Malice two major Derby contenders, all just as Lisa Limon is about to have her first foal by another top young sire, Liam’s Map. Lisa Limon is excellent at the farm in Kentucky. Her due date in next week and we are looking forward to a nice healthy baby any day now. Stay tuned!
- In racing news, Giuliana Vee ran by far the best race of her young career when a fast closing 2nd today at Penn National, coming back on short rest. Breaking alertly here after doing some gate work off a couple of slow starts, she settled in 2nd behind the early leader, going easily. She was 5 lengths back at the top of the stretch and appeared hopelessly beaten but commenced a strong, sustained run to finish just ½ length behind for the win while far ahead of the rest of the field. In previous starts she’d tired in the stretch, this time she closed stoutly and looked like a different horse. Off of this one she looks like she’s sitting on a win with a similar effort next time.
- Night of Idiots comes back on just 7 days rest tomorrow at Golden Gate Fields. She bounced out of her last really well, a good spot came up and trainer Jonathan Wong decided to enter her. It’s at 1 mile, hoping she will handle the longer distance and get a cleaner trip than she has when a troubled 3rd in her last two races.
- Life On the Edge couldn’t look or be doing better. She was going to start training this week in Ocala but with the horrifying tragic death of Coty Davidson in an auto accident yesterday we’re going to bring her into Palm Meadows this week to resume training with Kelly Breen. She is expected to arrive Monday or Tuesday.
- Solar excellent out of his impressive win at Gulfstream Park.
- No Good Deed fine out of her race at Gulfstream Park. Here’s a video of her training this morning, moving well and easily.
- Our beautiful 2yo out of Exchanging Fire for group #56 training at T-Square stud in Ocala is doing super; looks wonderful, all systems go. Plans are to ship into Monmouth Park at the end of April to Kelly Breen’s and continue his training there.
- Rapstorerocks training well at Palm Meadows. There’s a race for him at Gulfstream Park right at the beginning of March.
