Horse by Horse News  

  • Take a look at this photo and then look at the walking video of our Liam’s Map – Lisa Limon foal, taken yesterday at Hidden Brook Farm in Ky. Hard to find a better looking horse than this. Lisa Limon is back in foal and doing well and so far it’s been nothing but good news for this group.
  • In other horse news, Pango was 7th at Gulfstream Park with no excuse. It was the right distance, level, and post; he got a decent ride-trip sitting close up early and plain didn’t fire in the stretch.

We had no less than five different entries today at three different tracks and two horses got in as follows:

  • Fire’s Finale will make his much anticipated debut Saturday at Gulfstream Park. Comes into the race doing well, has trained forwardly from day one for this. We think he’s a talented horse and are looking forward to getting his career started.
  • New Found Treasure was entered today for next week at Penn National and the race went. The good news is, it’s just the right spot. The bad news is she got the very unfavorable far outside post in an overflow field and it’s back in just 10 days, but she’s doing well and should be fit and ready for this and other distance grass races all summer.
  • Giuliana Vee good and was entered today for a race next week at Penn National that did not go, she’s ready to run anytime. There’s a race for her July 8th to enter in.
  • Rapstorerocks came out of his good 2nd at Penn National (despite the wrong distance – surface) really well so trainer Mark Salvaggio decided to enter him on short rest today but the race did not go however was brought back for July 3rd. He’s ready to run back and a little extra time won’t hurt him, hopefully will go next time.
  • Life on the Edge excellent today at Monmouth Park. She was entered in two different races at Laurel Park and Delaware Park and neither race went. Fortunately they did bring back the races at both Laurel and Delaware, so most likely she’ll run in one of them next week.
  • Seven Seven is making steady progress towards his debut. He’s had three works since arriving at Monmouth Park at the beginning of June, each about 1 week apart and all of them quick without being asked. Really couldn’t ask for more at this point. If all keeps going this well he’ll be ready to run towards the end of next month.
  • No Good Deed doing very well, there’s a race for her to enter in July 8th at Penn National.
