More works and entries today. We are looking forward to a fun summer and in the meantime, we are pleased our horses are training and running and giving the owners something exciting to look forward to every time they race!

- New Found Treasure, Giuliana Vee and No Good Deed all worked today at Penn National. All went well and all are ready to run. Like everyone else, we are just waiting for racing to resume in the northeast. The hoped for date for racing to return to Penn is towards the end of May, obviously subject to change.
- Trilby gets in for next Thursday at Gulfstream Park, a 14 horse field makes it very, very tough but she had a really solid maintenance work (below), is doing excellent and is ready to run off her good debut for us last time. Trainer Ron Spatz adds blinkers for this, an experiment to see if she’ll show a little more early speed. Sometimes it works great, other times it’s a total washout. Worth a try, we’ll see how she handles it and judge from there. Take a look at the attached photo trainer Ron Spatz took of her yesterday morning after training, “getting spoiled” as he put it. Who wouldn’t like to get a nice bath while being hand fed!
- Lookinlikeaqueen runs Sunday at Gulfstream Park. A large tough group, she got the unfavorable #10 post in an 11 horse field, but she’s doing well since getting sick two weeks ago. As a point of education, she’s 6 to 1 in the morning line, not a wild longshot but not one of the favorites, this off an impressive win in her last start with a great overall record. The horse doesn’t care what the odds are, the point is that a lot of the results depend on the level of the competition. If you run against weak horses, you usually look good, if you run in a tough field, the same effort can get you an off-the-board finish. That’s why ‘taking a shot’ with a nice $20,000 claiming horse in an allowance race because you don’t want the horse claimed is almost always a bad idea. That said, in this case the options to run are limited and this certainly isn’t out of her reach with her best effort. Maybe lost a little fitness since missing a race 2 weeks ago with a cough; we’ll see, but coming off a nice win and no other place to run her, whatever happens here she gets one under her belt and is sharp and ready for the next one.
- Rapstorerocks doing well and will be entered tomorrow for next week at Gulfstream Park
- Pango fine out of his race and galloping towards his next start.
