- Nice morning photo of Lookinlikeaqueen on her way to the track at Gulfstream Park yesterday. “She’s doing great”, Ron Spatz.
- Fire’s Finale is training well at Gulfstream Park, so well that Ron let him have an easy 2 furlong work yesterday morning, well ahead of schedule. The clockers don’t record times for 2 furlong works but we’ll let the usually reserved Ron Spatz do the talking about how he went (transcribed directly from his voicemail)… “We had a ¼ workout with the baby today, I sent him in company with my other colt. Basically went 1/8, out ¼, fractions were 11.4, 13.1, so they went in 25 seconds. It took him a couple of strides to get going, he’s a big long striding horse and the other horse is already up to 3/8 and he’s pretty quick, but he (Fire) caught right up to him and they went together the rest of the way, they both did it very easily and, you know, came back fine. Well within himself to do that. I was very pleased with the move, especially for a first work against a much more experienced horse who has a lot speed”. Really can’t ask for a better start in his training at Gulfstream.
- Life on the Edge good out of her race last Sunday at Gulfstream Park. It was an honest effort in a tough starter allowance event and the race should do her a world of good fitness wise. Off this she should be ready for a big step forward next time, probably towards the end of May.
