A thrilling Belmont Stakes, congratulations to Sir Winston, a homebred for longtime owner-breeder Tracy Farmer. What an incredible day of racing at Belmont Park with some amazing performances by some of the best horses in the world in no less than 8 grade 1 stakes!

Another big day lots of news; works, races, claims. Here’s a rundown on all your horses, expect limited emails next week while at the OBS June sale…

• At Gulfstream Park Vibrant Spirit returned from a winter layoff and ran a really courageous race. Sent to the lead early, the longest shot on the board ranged up and pressured her from the outside from the break, leaving her trapped on the rail battling head to head for most of the race. Despite that, she fought every step of the way, took the lead turning for home, and finally tired late to finish 5^th.  It was an excellent effort off a layoff and the race should set her up well for a summer campaign.
• At Monmouth ShimmyShimmy Shake made her Kenwood debut and was the disappointment of the day, finishing a dull 4^th. In contrast with Vibrant Spirit above who was 5^th but ran a courageous race with a rough trip, she had the dream setup, making an easy lead in a very slow time and coasting along in front only to come up totally empty when challenged on the far turn.
• In other news, our two year olds Giuliana Vee, Start A Fire, Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge  all continue to train nicely at Monmouth Park as follows;
• Life On the Edge had another excellent work today (below). “She worked absolutely great”, Kelly Breen.  She’s probably 30 days from her debut at the moment.
• Shake It Up Baby is expected to breeze Monday, also doing excellent. He had a little mucus when scoped so only galloped today.
• Start A Fire was going to have his first breeze today down the lane 2 furlongs but his workmate got hurt and Kelly is looking for another horse to train with him. “He’s done everything right since coming here, fit in well. He’s ready to do something (work) now”, Kelly Breen. 
• Giuliana Vee had a little tenderness on her shin this morning (the majority of 2 year olds either get bucked shins or have tender shins at some point, it’s part of ‘growing pains’) so she’ll probably just gallop for a few days and work later on in the week.
• Annie’s Candy  good out of his fast closing 3^rd at Golden Gate Friday, beaten less than 2 lengths for the win and a long neck for 2^nd. Well back early, he was flying at the finish and simply ran out of ground in a 5 furlong race too short for his closing kick. He’s a super nice, honest horse and should be a lot of fun for us this year now that we’ve got him spotted properly.
• Seahawk Lisa good out of her workout yesterday at Los Alamitos (below), there are races for her there end of June and early July, she should debut in one of them.
• Bullion couldn’t be doing any better, pointing for an allowance race June 21^st at Santa Anita, ideal spot if it goes.
• Night of Idiots training well at Golden Gate, returned from the farm last week. Rapid Red should join her from the farm around July 1st.
• Federal Dominance training well at Monmouth and will be looking at his Kenwood debut possibly next week.
• Magic Musketier back and training well at Santa Anita after brief freshening, looking at a race in July at Del Mar for him
• More Ice looking at stake at Del Mar opening day, July 17th
• Starring John Wain fine, will run in July at one of the Northern Ca. state fairs with Golden Gate off for the summer.
• Preacher being pointed for a nice spot at Los Alamitos end of June.
• Blue Eyed Beth excellent, will be entered next week at Gulfstream

Excellent effort, work & entry news

• Annie’s Candy started off the 3 race weekend on a good note with a fast closing 3^rd in race 7 on Friday at Golden Gate Field Golden Gate, beaten less than 2 lengths for the win and a long neck for 2^nd. Well back early, he was flying at the finish and simply ran out of ground in a 5 furlong race too short for his closing kick. He’s a super nice, honest horse and should be a lot of fun for us this year now that we’ve got him spotted properly.
• Seahawk Lisa had a nice workout today at Los Alamitos (below), there are races for her there end of June and early July, she should debut in one of them.

We have updated possible entry info. for all your horses, as usual found here.

• At Gulfstream Park in race 2 on Saturday, Vibrant Spirit returns from a winter layoff in a nice spot tomorrow, she’s been training very sharply, Ron Spatz says he hopes she’s not too fresh first time out; if she can harness her speed and not get into a prolonged battle with the horse next to her, she has a real shot here. The #1 post will help if she breaks well, win or lose the race should set her up well for a summer campaign.
• A nice entry at Monmouth Park in race 12 on Saturday for ShimmyShimmy Shake, there was an opportunity to run in a short field and we took it, she’s been training well and it’s the right spot.
• Giuliana Vee, Start A Fire, Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge all continue to train nicely at Monmouth Park. Start A Fire has adjusted to life on the track quickly and easily and is doing really well, as are all the other three two year olds. It’s still early, but IF there are no major delays (the stats say there will be with one or two!) Start A Fire could be running before Labor Day and the other three sometime in July-Aug.
• Another super-fast, super-sound, super-good work for Bullion at Santa Anita. Couldn’t be doing any better, pointing for an allowance race June 21^st at Santa Anita, ideal spot if it goes.
• Night of Idiots training well at Golden Gate Fields, returned from the farm last week. Rapid Red should join her from the farm around July 1st.
• Federal Dominance training well at Monmouth Park and will be looking at his Kenwood debut this month.
• Magic Musketier back and training well at Santa Anita after brief freshening, looking at a race in July at Del Mar for him
• More Ice looking at stake at Del Mar opening day, July 17th
• Starring John Wain fine, will run in July at one of the Northern Ca. state fairs with Golden Gate off for the summer.
• Preacher being pointed for a nice spot at Los Alamitos end of June.
• Blue Eyed Beth excellent, will be entered next week at Gulfstream

Finally, we head to the OBS June sale in Ocala now, the final two year old sale of 2019. Last year at this sale we found Blue Eyed Beth for a bargain $16,000 and ended up with one of our most affordable and successful groups, hoping history will repeat itself! Details to follow from the sale, stay tuned.

2 big Saturday entries...

Two big entries for Saturday on the east coast to add to Annie’s Candy on the west coast in race 7 on Friday at Golden Gate Fields.

• At Gulfstream Park in race 2 on Saturday, Vibrant Spirit returns from a winter layoff in a nice spot, she’s been training very sharply, Ron Spatz says he hopes she’s not too fresh first time out; if she can harness her speed and not get into a prolonged battle with the horse next to her, she has a real shot here.

• A nice entry at Monmouth Park in race 12 on Saturday for ShimmyShimmy Shake. There was an opportunity to run in a short field and we took it, she’s been training well and it’s the right spot.

Start A Fire is making very rapid progress with no hiccups at all. So far, we are very pleased See video below, he’s already going in the gate and galloping easily and nicely.

Lots of training news, update on your horses

Good afternoon, a lot of work – training news to report as a new month begins but briefly first off, we head to the OBS June sale in Ocala next week, the final two year old sale of the year, looking to purchase a couple of nice, late developing two year olds. Last year at this sale, we found Blue Eyed Beth for a bargain $16,000 and ended up with one of our most affordable and successful groups, hoping history will repeat itself! Details to follow from the sale, stay tuned.

• Take a look at these videos from Kelly Breen of Giuliana Vee training from the gate and Start A Fire joining fellow two year olds Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge galloping nicely at Monmouth Park. Start A Fire has adjusted to life on the track quickly and easily and is doing really well, as are all the other three two year olds. It’s still early, but IF there are no major delays (the stats say there will be with one or two!) Start A Fire could be running before Labor Day and the other three sometime in July-Aug.

• Vibrant Spirit had a nice little final tune up work yesterday (below) and will be entered tomorrow for Saturday at Gulfstream Park, Ron Spatz continues to be really pleased with her.
• Another super-fast, super-sound, super-good work for Bullion at Santa Anita (below). Couldn’t be doing any better, just looking for a race for him.
• Annie’s Candy runs Friday at Golden Gate Fields, doing excellent. 
• Night of Idiots has returned to training at Golden Gate Fields from the farm, Rapid Red will follow her shortly. 
• ShimmyShimmy Shake and Federal Dominance training well at Monmouth Park and will be looking at their Kenwood debuts shortly.
• Magic Musketier in training again at Santa Anita after a brief freshening. 
• More Ice, Starring John Wain and Preacher all well after their races last weekend.
• Seahawk Lisa training well in Ca. probably July for her debut

Not the day we were hoping for as none of the three runners hit the board, although Preacher did show a ton of talent in his debut and Starring John Wain put in his usual good effort.

• Preacher was the first up and simply lost all chance when his head was turned at the start and he came out sideways at the break, at least 10 lengths behind the field. The positive was that once he recovered he made an absolutely spectacular move from dead last all the way up to 2^nd, gobbling up ground in a few strides. He tired from the effort to finish 5^th but clearly demonstrated speed and ability. This kind of thing is normal for first time starters, in fact the winner here had a similar bad break in his debut;  broke well today in his second start and won impressively. Preacher only had 1 four furlong work coming into this, Jerry felt he would get more out of a race than another work and with this one under his belt he should be very tough to beat next time with a better start given the level of ability he showed.
• Next up was the real disappointment of the day as More Ice simply failed to fire, finishing a dull 5^th. He had trained exceptionally well into this and was perhaps a bit fresh, tugging hard in the early going while being rated on a super slow early pace, but when the real running began he backed up in the stretch. After the race he galloped out very strongly and came back on his toes, so perhaps he just didn’t respond well to rating. It’s a shame as we had high hopes for this race but he’s a very consistent runner and will get other opportunities now at Del Mar, where he has won two times impressively already.
• Finally, Starring John Wain was the victim of an absolutely horrible trip as he got caught between a bunch of horses in the 11 horse field with absolutely nowhere to go while trying repeatedly to make moves from the far turn all the way through the stretch, finally getting free in the final strides finish a closing 4^th. It was a brave effort, more than good enough to win with a favorable trip. That’s the problem with huge fields, the trip becomes everything and the best horse frequently doesn’t win. He’s as honest as they come, runs short and long, turf and dirt, and will be right there again next time.
• In other news, Giuliana Vee had an exceptionally good work today at Monmouth. Came out of the gate with two other horses, was on the unfavorable inside and came out a half step slower, yet charged ahead of them and ended up with a very fast work time (see video and work info below). This filly has worked fast and well from day one and it’s undoubtedly a good sign. The program, particularly with many new owners in the group, this that we tread a fine line between reporting obviously good news and giving people unrealistic expectations. There is a HUGE difference between working fast at 3 furlongs with two horses and running fast at 5,6,7,8 furlongs in an actual race. There are many horses who work as well as she has so far who end up being modest claiming horses, probably a majority. Statistically about 2% of all horses win stakes, about 12% win allowance races in their careers. A horse who works like she has so far might have 2 or three times the shot to be at that level, so maybe a 5% chance of being a stake horse and a 25% chance of being an allowance horse. In other words, she’s on a very positive path but it a few good works doth not a star make! That said, her owners have legit. reason for some excitement at this early juncture.  

• Finally, a very nice work today at Golden Gate for Annie’s Candy (below), his final tune-up for his race Friday as he looks for his 2^nd win in a row for us.  
• Others good out of recent works, Magic Musketier back at Santa Anita and training nicely, Blue Eyed Beth and Vibrant Spirit both ready for their races shortly in Fla. All others well.

Works, videos, photos....

• A good morning of training with works at Monmouth for Life On the Edge and Shake It Up Baby, who worked in company out of the gate this morning. As you can see on the link below and as Kelly Breen explained, they got more company than expected as two older horses were working as they came out of the gate and gave them some unexpected schooling (“It wasn’t what we had planned but it was a good education for them, turned out well”, Kelly).

• Adam Parker sent us one final photo of Start A Fire the day before he shipped out to Monmouth, it’s attached here, enjoy!

• Annie’s Candy runs Friday at Golden Gate Fields. It’s a 5 furlong turf race. It’s the right level, and he has run 2^nd in a stake in a very fast time on this turf course at the same distance, so not at all out of the question he runs well here. Race flow seems to suit him too, a lot of speed in the race to set up his late run.

Tomorrow is a very big day of racing for our California division, we get a number of requests for handicapping info. – suggestions when one of our horses hits the entries, i.e. “is our horse live, is it worth a bet” etc. Usually we don’t offer much in the way of wagering advice because we see our goal as winning races with your horses, not in cashing tickets (fun as that certainly is) and prefer to leave the handicapping to you. But now and then a little commentary in terms of betting doesn’t hurt and with three very ‘live’ horses running on one day in three very interesting races, this is a good time for a little handicapping…

As an overview begin by noting that for any serious handicapper, it’s all about ‘value’. Frequently you are wagering not on the horse with the best chance to hit the winner’s circle but rather on a horse with less of a shot that offers better odds. For example, if you have an obvious favorite in a race that has a 50% chance of winning but goes off at 3 to 5, in the long run you’ll win half your bets with these and go broke. On the other hand, the second if the second favorite has a 25% chance of winning but is going off at 4 to 1, you’ll only win a quarter of those bets but make a lot of money over time. Keeping that essential rule firmly in mind, here’s how I see our three runners for Sunday (in order of appearance).   

• First up we have the career debut of Preacher in the 2nd race at Santa Anita, our first two year old of 2019 to reach the entry box. He’s been training very forwardly for his debut and is listed as the somewhat surprising 2^nd choice at 3 to 1 morning line despite a super-tough spot (a maiden special weight with a huge $65,000 purse attracts premier young horses who cost many times his modest $40,000 purchase price). It’s a tribute to how well he’s been working, plus a top rider in Draden Van Dyke and a top trainer in Jerry Hollendorfer. He gets the far outside post in a 7 horse field, much better than drawing the rail but a bit problematic at 4&1/2 furlongs with a quick run to the first turn. A couple of horses have a start under their belts, a huge advantage for them as most of the time career debuts learning experiences.  Could he win? Absolutely. He’s training too well not to have a shot, but most likely he ends up 2^nd or 3^rd or 4^th, shows some ability and moves forward from this race. As an example More Ice was a distant but closing 3^rd of five horses in his career debut about this time last year and went on to bigger and better things. This horse looks like more of a precocious speed type but that said, I’d personally want at least 4 to 1, maybe a bit higher, to seriously bet on him. Probably a decent across the board wager if odds aren’t too low.  
• Next we have More Ice in the $150,000 Cinema Stakes on the turf at Santa Anita. He’s been pointing for this race and comes into it training absolutely super since his close 3^rd in the California Derby in April (which was his 3^rd career stakes placing). The right surface, the right distance and while we rarely talk much about jockeys, he’ll be ridden by one of the great ‘money riders’ in history in hall of fame jockey Mike Smith. He’s listed at 9 to 2 odds, somewhat surprising as especially with Mike Smith aboard I’d have expected a morning line closer to 3 to 1 or 7 to 2. That’s due to the quality of the competition he faces; all stakes are super tough and this is certainly no exception. That said, IF he fires his best shot AND gets a good trip he should be in the money again and has a legitimate chance to collect his first career stakes win. I’d gladly bet on him at the morning line of 9 to 2, even a bit lower, probably win and place or in exotics with a couple of the other top prospects.
• Finally we have Starring John Wain running Sunday at Golden Gate Fields. He’s coming back a bit quick off his last race but we’ve been running against open company looking for a Ca. bred race and this looks like a decent spot for him if he can handle the quick turnaround and an overflow 11 horse field to boot. He’s been in the money in all of his last 8 starts and should be right there again. He’s listed as the 7 to 2 second choice on the morning line. Personally, in an 11 horse field with a horse coming back a bit quick who’s always close but has yet to win, I’d want 5 to 1 or better to make a win bet on him. An across the board bet makes sense at decent odds giving the fact he’s been in the money 8 straight times, while anything can happen you’d have to like his chances of hitting the board again here with any kind of a decent trip.  

Now to some other horse news briefly….

• Start A Fire setting in nicely at Monmouth Park as he begins his training. Giuliana Vee will work tomorrow (Sunday).
• ShimmyShimmy Shake and Federal Dominance both training very well with no issues since claiming them, Kelly is happy with both horses.  
• Nice work today for Seahawk Lisa at Los Alamitos in Ca. as she approaches her debut (below)
• Blue Eyed Beth good out of her recent work (below), as is Vibrant Spirit.
• Bullion is ready to run too, looking at a race June 21^st for him unless something comes up sooner.  
• Night of Idiots has returned to training at Golden Gate Fields from the farm, Rapid Red will follow her shortly. 
• Magic Musketier in training again at Santa Anita after a brief freshening.

Entries, works and more, another huge California weekend

• A big entry day in California as three were entered at two tracks for Sunday and all three went. At Santa Anita, the highlight of the day (and one of the highlights of the year!) will be More Ice in the $150,000 Cinema Stakes, race 5, on the turf. He’s been pointing for this race and comes into it training absolutely super since his close 3^rd in the California Derby in April (which was his 3^rd career stakes placing). The right surface, the right distance and while we rarely talk much about jockeys, he’ll be ridden by one of the great ‘money riders’ in history in hall of fame jockey Mike Smith. While all stakes are super tough and this is certainly no exception IF he fires his best shot AND gets a good trip he should be in the money again and has a legitimate chance to collect his first career stakes win.
• Also on Sunday we have the career debut of Preacher, our first two year old of 2019 to reach the entry box, in race 2 at Santa Anita. He’s been training very forwardly for his debut. This will be a super-tough spot (a maiden special weight with a huge $65,000 purse attracts premier young horses who cost many times his modest $40,000 purchase price) but most of the time career debuts are learning experiences anyway so it’s time to begin. Hopefully he’ll show some ability and move forward from this race. Recall More Ice was a distant but closing 3^rd of five horses in his career debut about this time last year and went on to bigger and better things. Not saying he’ll end up that good but he appears to have speed and talent and we’re excited to have him in the entries.
• And finally we have Starring John Wain running Sunday in race 8 at Golden Gate Fields. Back a bit quick off his last race but we’ve been running against open company looking for a Ca. bred race and this looks like a decent spot for him if he can handle the quick turnaround and an overflow 11 horse field to boot. He’s been in the money in all of his last 8 starts and should be right there again.

All owners please let us know if you need help with seating-dining arrangements at either track, should be a great day of racing!

• Start A Fire arrived safely this morning at Monmouth Park, no problems (see attached photos outside Kelly Breen’s barn, blurry photos but he’s obviously well). Will gallop this weekend as he begins his training.

• Shake It Up Baby and Life On the Edge are expected to have timed works at Monmouth just as soon as the weather permits.
• Giuliana Vee will likely work this weekend, probably Sunday.
• ShimmyShimmy Shake and Federal Dominance will train this week(end) as well.
• Blue Eyed Beth worked nicely this morning (below) as she points to her next start in June. “Hi Robb, good work, no pressure, nice even work, scoped clean, I was very happy with that”, Ron Spatz.
• Vibrant Spirit’s good out of her last work and ready to run next week “Good morning, Vibrant Spirit breezed 5/8 out ¾ for Memorial Day, in hand, pretty even with a little bit of finish, came back great, waiting for the race to come up, I think she’s in great shape”, Ron Spatz.
• Maybe another claim at Monmouth Park this weekend, stay tuned!

• A perfect morning at Monmouth Park saw all horses train well and a super work from Giuliana Vee (below).  She worked in company with 2 horses and despite being on the rail in the deepest part of the track kept right with them and posted the co-fastest work of the day. She continues to show obvious ability, as does Life On the Edge and Shake It Up Baby, who both galloped out of the gate this morning.

• ShimmyShimmy Shake galloped strongly, no issues.
• New claim Federal Dominance walking totally sound this morning, we are very pleased with him.
• Works this morning also at Golden Gate Fields for Annie’s Candy and Starring John Wain, both also doing well and coming up to another race soon.
• Here is a lovely photo of Vibrant Spirit this morning at Gulfstream Park, she looks super, covered with dapples in the peak of health as she nears the start of her summer campaign.
