Three year old filly for Hector Palma made start #2 on Thursday, a sprint on the main at six and a half for Cal bred maiden claimers in for a $50,000 tag. Off as the 2/1 second choice in a field of 9, she broke OK under the apprentice Aguilar and settled in 4th down […]
Three year old colt for Brian Koriner made his debut on Sunday in a maiden special weight for Cal bred sophomores at ¾ on the main. Bet heavy right from the get go, he went off as the 3/5 choice in a field of six. He broke outward and a step slow from the outside […]
Three year old filly for Phil D’Amato made start #2 on Sunday in an optional claimer/maiden race at ¾ on the main for three year olds. Off as the 6/5 choice in a field of 7, the ground appeared to break from under her at the start and she was away last. Seven lengths back […]
Raced along the rail up the backstretch while sitting behind the two frontrunners. She had to steady entering the turn and was behind a wall of horses entering the stretch. The jock moved her to the outside and she rallied well, but the winner got the jump on her entering the stretch and clear sailing […]
Took the worst of the four horse speed duel up the backstretch as he was in the four path. Jock went to the whip around the turn and he took the lead entering the stretch. However, he understandably couldn’t hold off the winner along the rail late in what was a game performance. Next Upcoming […]

Was asked a tough question for start #2 as he moved to a Stakes and was a first time router. However, he didn’t embarrass himself. He settled in midpack early and made a middle move just before the turn to be within striking range along the rail. The jock had a chance to move to […]
