• Fire’s Finale made his much anticipated debut today at Gulfstream and ran very well, finishing 3rd. Broke a step slow and started out near the back of the pack but made an nice sustained move to get 3^rd money while not threatening the winner.  As trainer Ron Spatz stated going into the race, “he probably wants to go a little further, but I think he has enough speed to show himself going 5/8”. This is a very typical debut for many good horses and most move forward in their 2^nd starts. For example, the winner here was a good 3^rd in his debut last time, and the 2^nd horse was 5^th in his debut. Both had an experience edge which was the difference today. Off this nice debut effort we have even more reason to believe he’s a talented horse and we are looking forward to a fine career with him. Congratulations to all his owners!
• Rapstorerocks came out of his good 2^nd at Penn National (despite the wrong distance – surface) really well so trainer Mark Salvaggio decided to enter him on short rest; the race did not go but was brought back for July 3^rd and went. He’s ready to run and got a good spot; if he runs back to his last race and gets a decent trip, he has a great shot to find the winner’s circle this time at Penn National.
• Life on the Edge gets in Monday at Delaware Park. Looking for a much improved effort from her here.
• New Found Treasureruns next week at Penn National. 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 for a race at Penn National that did not go, she’s ready to run anytime. There’s a race for her to enter in next week.
• No Good Deed doing very well, there’s a race for her to enter in at Penn National next week also.
• Seven Sevenis 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. He’ll work again next week and if all keeps going this well should be ready to run towards the end of next month.
• Pango will ship to trainer Mark Salvaggio at Penn National next week in search of softer spots than he has had at Gulfstream when off the board in three starts for us this spring. 
• 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 8^th to enter in.
• Rapstorerocks came out of his good 2^nd 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.

Nice works for our two year olds as they approach their debuts…

• Fire’s Finale had another fine breeze Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park and is ready to run. Off of this, we’ll see how he comes out of it and look at entering Wednesday for Saturday, or next week for the following week. All systems go at this point, ahead of schedule. You can see him galloping Saturday in the Vimeo link and the work on Sunday, along with all his previous works. He's worked 6 times since coming to Gulfstream, each about a week apart at increasingly longer distances, all of them well within himself.
   

• Seven Seven breezed this morning at Monmouth Park and is making steady progress towards his debut. He’s had three works since arriving at Monmouth 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.

• Pango runs Wednesday at Gulfstream Park. Doing well and fits in this spot. Right distance, level, and post.
• Life on the Edge banged her knee on the screen of her stall last night at Monmouth Park. She had superficial swelling according to Kelly Breen. Assuming she’s ok tomorrow she’ll be entered at Laurel Park Wednesday for Saturday, with a Delaware Park race as a backup.
• Giuliana Vee good and should be ready to run at Penn National in early July.

All three horses who ran at Penn National on the first night of racing for the season there last week good out of their races.

• No Good Deed good out of a much improved effort, finishing a close and closing 4^th, beaten about 4 lengths for the win and about 2 lengths for 2^nd. It was a decent race, especially considering she hadn’t run since February and this was a very fast run race for the level, so we’d expect her to move forward off this one and find her way to the winner’s circle at Penn soon.
• New Found Treasuregood and will be entered Wednesday for the following week at Penn; just her spot. She should be fit and ready for that one and other distance grass races all summer.
• Rapstorerocks fine out of a good 2^nd despite the wrong distance – surface. A nice tightener to have him ready for longer races as things open up at Penn. Off this race he too looks ready for the winner’s circle shortly.

• Lisa Limon and her Liam’s Map foal both well in Kentucky. We got a bit of really good news from the recently concluded OBS 2yo in training sale when a Liam’s Map filly sold for $700,000, an especially impressive number considering the overall sale results.

This evening, we had three horses run at Penn National on the first night of racing for the season there and got solid efforts from all of them.

• No Good Deed ran in the first race of the day-meet and came though with a much improved effort (compared to her three previous totally up the track starts at Gulfstream), finishing a close and closing 4^th tonight. She was beaten about 4 lengths for the win and about 2 lengths for 2^nd, not a bad effort. As has been the case in all of her starts, she broke slowly and bumped with another horse coming out of the gate, putting her off the early pace. She looked like she was backing out of it badly on the far turn as she had in her previous races but instead found a new gear in the stretch to close nicely, galloping out ahead of the field after the wire. It was a decent effort, especially considering she hadn’t run since February and this was a very fast run race for the level, so we’d expect her to move forward off this one and find her way to the winner’s circle at Penn soon.
• In the very next race New Found Treasure ran in a grass race at a distance way too short for her and the result was similar to No Good Deed, as she too finished a fast closing 4^th. She broke well and settled well back early in a speed laden race, then made a very nice stretch run to be beaten just under 3 lengths for the win while missing 3^rd by just a neck. She also galloped out ahead of the field and as trainer Mark Salvaggio put it right after the race “if it even had been 5 &1/2 furlongs instead of 5, she’d been no worse than 2^nd and probably won”. We ran her here with an eye on another grass race around 2 turns, just her spot, that’s scheduled for July 4^th weekend. This race is sure to help have her fit and ready for that one and other distance grass races all summer.
• Finally Rapstorerocks tried dirt for the first time and he too ran in a race way too short for him. Bumped and shuffled back to last in the early going, he settled down and commenced a sustained run to finish a fine 2^nd, well back of the favored winner who was too far in front to be caught, but way ahead of the remainder of the field and improving position with every stride. It was a perfect example of just how much the class level matters in racing; off the board in 8 previous starts at top tracks on the right distance-surface, he was a good 2^nd here against much less company despite the wrong distance – surface. Here too it was a nice tightener to have him ready for longer races as things open up at Penn and off this race he too looks ready for the winner’s circle shortly.

While obviously you always hope for a win, all three of these horses were returning off layoffs in races not at their favored distances. The goal was a good effort that would have them fit and ready for their next starts and we got exactly that this evening with each of them. They all appear to have come back well and if they move forward as we’d expect now, all of them are sitting on wins shortly.

• In entry news, the race goes for Pango at Gulfstream Park, he runs June 24^th and after that we expect him to ship north for the summer. Ran well last time and hoping for another step forward in this spot.
• Life on the Edge doing really well at Monmouth Park and expecting a big race from her next time out. Just looking for somewhere to run. She’ll be entered at Laurel Park next week.
• Seven Seven making steady progress towards his debut. Will work again beginning of next week at Monmouth Park.
• Giuliana Vee good and should be ready to run at Penn National in early July.
• Fire’s Finale excellent at Gulfstream Park. Ron Spatz is considering a race at the end of June for his debut, well ahead of schedule, although probably the next race that comes up in the book in mid-July is more likely. He’s going to work him again shortly and make a decision. 
• Lisa Limon and her Liam’s Map foal both well at Hidden Brook Farm in Kentucky. We got a bit of really good news from the recently concluded OBS 2yo in training sale when a Liam’s Map filly sold for $700,000, an especially impressive number considering the overall sale results.

• Our online seminar, ‘Buying Horses at Auction’ is this Thursday June 18^th at 7:30pm. This will be a comprehensive introduction to the sales process, with specific facts and figures. Plus as an added ‘bonus’ we’ll have our exclusive selections for The Belmont Stakes day of racing Saturday at the end of the presentation with some time for people to discuss their own picks for the day. The OBS two year old sale ended last week with some rather incredible stats. The catalog featured 779 horses; 536 were withdrawn, 149 horses went through the ring and were reported not sold, meaning only 94 of 779 horses entered actually changed hands and almost all the money was spent on less than 20 horses! As you will learn during the seminar, results from sales year after year clearly show that the ‘top horses’ billionaires buy in bidding wars grossly underperform, but that doesn’t stop people with a lot more money than common sense from overpaying. If you want to know more about how this fascinating process works, here’s your chance.
• An ‘Open Letter to the Industry’ spearheaded by Kenwood Racing and signed by 40 owners, trainers, jockeys, farms, sales consignors, etc. and including many of the leading people in the business appeared in the TDN (Thoroughbred Daily News) on June 8^th and has already received a great deal of attention. Saving Racing – A Roadmap received extensive coverage from our friends at Thorofan.
• Good news! We entered three horses for opening day at Penn National, Friday, June 19^th, and all three got in! And there’s a very good chance that Monmouth Park will be allowed to have spectators – owners attend the races as opening day (July 3^rd) approaches. Racing returns to Delaware Park with spectators permitted tomorrow. Things are opening up and we have lots of entry updates for your horses as racing returns to mid-Atlantic tracks.

Horse by Horse News  

• No Good Deed runs in the first race of the day-meet at Penn National on Friday, been training really well and we are looking for a good race from her to hopefully start things off on a good note.
• New Found Treasure runs in a grass race (race 2 on Friday) at a distance way too short for her. It’s the right level but will be tough for her to sprint here; the race is sure to help have her fit for longer distance races all summer and hopefully she’ll make a solid showing.
• Rapstorerocks tries dirt and he too runs in a race way too short for him at Penn National on Friday (race 8) but he’s also doing well and worst case, it’s a good tightener to have him ready for longer races as things open up at Penn.
• Life on the Edge worked 3 furlongs at Monmouth Park. Looking for a race for her ASAP (we entered in a race last week at Laurel Park - the race got 17 entries for 12 slots and we didn’t get in). We will enter her tomorrow for Saturday at Penn National and if that doesn’t go, there’s a race for her at Laurel Park next week. Doing really well and expecting a big race from her next time out.

• Giuliana Vee was 5^th today at Laurel Park; got a favorable outside post in a 9 horse field and despite acting up in the gate a bit broke sharply and got a dream trip, sitting a close up 3^rd under a fine ride by Sheldon Russell. Made a move for the lead turning for home and then tired noticeably in the stretch. She’d been off several months and unable to train much at Penn while no racing, so we had anticipated she might have needed this one and she clearly did. The race should clearly have her fit and ready for her next start and we expect a big effort next time at Penn in a few weeks.
• Seven Seven and Life on the Edge came out of their 3 furlong works this week at Monmouth Park very well. Looking for a race for Life on the Edge at Laurel Park ASAP (we entered yesterday and the race got 17 entries for 12 slots and we didn’t get in), while Seven Seven is making steady progress towards his debut and is scheduled to work another 3/8 next Monday or Tuesday.

• Giuliana Vee returns to the entries this week at Laurel Park, gets post #9 in a 9 horse field. Obviously will need a race after a long layoff when no racing was open anywhere in the region but trainer Mark Salvaggio reports she’s doing really well. If nothing else, this will be a good conditioner for her that should give her a fitness edge over other horses who have not started in a while when racing hopefully returns to Penn National towards the end of this month.
• New Found Treasure, Rapstorerocks and No Good Deed all well too at Penn National and we are looking for races for them at other tracks also until racing returns at Penn.  
• Seven Seven and Life on the Edge both good out of fine workouts yesterday at Monmouth Park. You can see a video here.   and also see the work times below. Note the clockers incorrectly confused our horse, Seven Seven with a 3yo named Seven & Seven but rest assured this is your horse’s work (he worked in company with Life on the Edge, the other horse is in Kentucky!). As explained many times before, workout times – information is at best, rough estimations and subject to plenty of errors. Anyway, both Life on the Edge & Seven Seven are doing really well….
• Fire’s Finale had another fine breeze at Gulfstream Park this morning, doing excellent as he approaches his debut.  You can see a video of him warming up prior to his work taken by Ron.
• Pango, good out of an improved 4^th and looking at another spot for him later this month. 
• Lisa Limon and her handsome Liam’s Map foal, both doing excellent at Hidden Brook Farm.
