King Angelo: Strong Rally and Just Missed. Outside Draw May Help In Next

Runs with his tail straight out and was outrun for the early lead in the first furlong. The veteran didn’t seem comfortable racing behind a wall of horses and that seemed evident as he was shuffled to the back of the pack entering the turn. He did seem to have run entering the stretch, but […]

Bingo John: Nice Brave Effort But Not Ideal Run

Was pretty brave to finish 3rd in what not an ideal stretch run. The gelding raced on along the rail early and was in the second flight entering the stretch. The leaders began to tire and the jock took him to the rail while he was able to squeeze thru a tight opening in midstretch. […]

Big Venezuela: Returning To Sprints With Off Pace Trip To Improve.

While the outside is usually the faster part of the track, it is tough as a frontrunner to win with a five wide trip even with no pace pressure. This gelding has now set the pace in his last four dirt routes and the best he could finish was 3rd as he did today. He […]

Falconet: Look for Rider Switch In Order To Improve

Received a questionable ride as she broke outward but fast and the jock seemed to insist that someone else take the lead. Eventual winner Frost Point did take the lead leaving the chute and it’s not like they were going fast early. Look for a rider switch and/or more aggressive ride on Falconet and maybe […]

Bad Connection: Good Debut but Tired Late. Watch Works for Next Start

Not a bad debut as she broke on top and raced outside of a three horse duel up the backstretch. She made a run for the lead entering the stretch, but tired in the late stages to finish midpack. Conditioning can only help this filly and she might not stop next time out. Next Upcoming […]

Queens Masterpiece: Chased Fast Pace with Trouble Can Improve

Had to chase a fast pace early and was shuffled back to last up the backstretch. Jock had to steer her clear of trouble around the turn and she made a nice little run when she found clear sailing. However, the filly was too far back to threaten for the win, but did run well […]

Tap It Up: Rough Trip and Could Rebound

Had a pretty rough trip from the start as she broke a bit slow then had to steer around runners while steadying repeatedly until entering the turn. From there, she was just never a factor and this may be a race to just toss out. She did have her best finish in her lone start […]

Fromanothamutha: Dry Track in Next Start Should Move Him Forward

Is usually a deep closer, but may have been more forwardly-placed due to today’s sloppy conditions. He held his own, though, as he had to steady slightly while trying to make his rally entering the stretch and that likely cost him all of his momentum. Afterwards, he basically raced evenly down the stretch. Should the […]
