Was hustled out of the gate and was part of a four horse speed duel up the backstretch. He tried to match strides entering the stretch with the eventual winner, but couldn’t. However, he was well clear of the field for 2nd and it seems the gelding is rounding back into form. Next Upcoming Race: […]

Was wide throughout in this muddy affair and he could’ve been closer at the finish with a better trip. He made a nice move around the turn and kept trying in the stretch, but he understandably flattened out inside the 16th pole and finished 4th. Also note that when Katie Davis rides, he has finished […]
Tried her best to keep up with the huge favorite Maple Leaf Mel early, she made a bid entering the stretch and tired late to finish 3rd. She might be at her best when able to track the pace and not press or chase it and maybe she can rebound if able to stay away […]
Likely lost his best chance after the break as he was sandwiched a few strides out and was last early. The jock seemed to give up on him as he was idling around the turn, but he started picking up the pieces late while only being shown the whip in the stretch and might have […]
Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip. However, he was steered to the outside entering the stretch and rallied well to finish 2nd behind a runaway winner. The gelding must not like the kickback and […]
Six year old gelding for Peter Miller, off since last July at Del Mar, tried the hill in the Sensational Stars stakes on Sunday for older Cal breds. Off at 8/1 in a field of just five, he was last coming down the hill, six back of the leaders. J.J. had a decision to make […]
Comebacker made his sprint debut today and this may have been a prep. While he was away slowly, he was rushed up to settle behind the leaders up the backstretch and moved to the outside as then entered the turn. The soph couldn’t keep up with the two leaders in the stretch, but he did […]
Three year old colt for Bob Baffert made start #2 on Saturday at ¾ on the main for three year olds in a maiden special weight event. Off as the 3/5 choice in a field of six, he ended up being on the rail when that horse was scratched, and he didn’t have the best […]
A gelding who was awful in his last two starts may have been the winner in this affair if not for a wide-throughout trip over a track that favored the inside. He did show his usual early speed as a four horse duel developed as they left the chute and he was in the five-path […]
This win machine from the softer circuits didn’t embarrass herself in this Stakes event as she sat behind the four horse duel up the backstretch. She was behind a wall of runners entering the stretch, but did find clear sailing soon after and rallied on the slower outside. The filly does have a tendency to […]
