A quiet week as few races went and lots of horses are looking for spots to run. Not unusual for this time of year, as racing slows down for the season at many northern tracks.

On Monday, October 19th, Titanium Jo, JW Racer, Hardrainsgonnafall and Three Arch Bay shipped to Penn National for the winter. All arrived well and began training the next day. Three Arch Bay is pointing for her debut on October 30^th at Penn. JW Racer was entered twice for races that did not go, he’s doing super and we’re hoping for something the first week of November at Laurel or Penn National. It's tough to find a race at almost any level for two year old winners right now.

Titanium Jo is training well for her start in the $100,000 Safely Kept Stakes at Laurel Park on November 14^th.

Another good workout for Mackinaw Pharoah last week.  We are really happy with how she’s progressed since her debut, with three really positive workouts since. We’ve entered her five times at The Meadowlands, short & long and even against males. They just aren’t using any 2 year old maiden races and The Meadowlands is about the only place left for turf races. We have two more chances next week for The Meadowlands. Neither race is perfect, but we’ll run her if either race goes. If not, she’ll ship to Penn next weekend, run there on dirt once, and then get some time off at the farm for the winter.

Unspoken Quality and Title Fight are both doing well in Florida and hopefully both will run in the next week at Gulfstream Park West.

Huamantla was good out of her last. There’s a race on closing day at The Meadowlands on October 31^st. After that, she ships to Penn for the winter.

Fuego Mi Amor was our lone starter for the week, on October 24^th at Penn National. Facing a 10 horse field after an off race on the slop last time, she had a good trip from the outside #9 post in a big field, moved comfortably into 3^rd on the backstretch in a nice stalking spot and then flattened out in the stretch. She finished a tired 8^th, with no excuse. Last time, she didn’t care for the sloppy surface, but in this race, she just didn’t have any kick when asked. We’re going to take one last shot sprinting her next time, to see if that helps.

Long May You Run gets in a 10 horse field at Penn National next Thursday October 29^th. While it’s a large field and a tougher spot than ideally we’d prefer, it’s the level he’s done well at and at his home track and he’s training well. Also next Thursday, Proven Warrior runs in the 3^rd race at Indiana Grand Racecourse, about 4:00 pm. It's a full 12 horse field, but he’s ready for a good effort if he can get to the lead early. 

Last chance to sign up for our Breeder’s Cup party at Monmouth on October 31^st. There will be free food and drinks and you can wager on all Breeder’s Cup races. We'll be there all afternoon and all are welcome, but you do need to RSVP if you haven’t yet, as we will have a list of names at the door.
