Optic Way: Good Effort While Uncomfortable In First Half of Race

Broke well, but jock seemed indecisive as to whether go for the lead or settle. He did decide to settle early and was in midpack of eight other runners who were separated by about four lengths up the backstretch. The jock sent him to the outside entering the stretch and he ran on for 3rd […]

Les Bon Temps: can rebound and might be best tracking the pace

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 […]

Thinkaboutit: picked up late can improve with more aggressive ride

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 […]

Thinking It Over: Run Down Late But Can Move Forward

Not a bad effort for the comebacker as her and the rest of the field was no match for up-and-comer Grannys Connection. This filly chased the winner entering the stretch and was run down late for the second spot. Still, she can move forward with recency and against what may be a softer group for […]

Irish Honor: May Need a Race on the Outside

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 […]

Thunderian: Look For a Move Forward on the Stretchout

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 […]

Cheeky Tico: A Fairer Track and Better Trip Can Help

Had a wide trip throughout when the inside seemed to be the faster part of the track . He made his bid around the far turn while still in the three-path and was able to gain ground to finish 3rd. A fairer track and a better trip can only help in his next start. Next […]

Krystalheir: Bred to Go Long While Winning Soon

Second-timer didn’t break fast, but did get away cleanly and found herself behind the two leaders while on the rail as they left the chute. The filly wanted to go, but she was wrangled back by her jock up the backstretch and was alone around the turn behind three runners who were well clear. She […]

My Angel: Improving and May Enjoy Routes

A late-runner who was caught wide up the backstretch and in the stretch, she made a nice rally while widest of the top five finishers and she was able to get up for 3rd. The soph seems to be improving and maybe she will enjoy the route game. Next Upcoming Race:     My Angel’s […]

Swift Tap: Wide Throughout Trip While Track Favored the Inside

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 […]
