His was to get out and go at Saratoga yesterday! After a muddling first race at Delaware where he finished fourth Technique made up for it leading post to wire. Congratulations to owner breeders Mineola Farm and below is from today's Thoroughbred Daily News:
Notable maiden winners
Speightstown SD (32/11) TECHNIQUE, Dk b. or br. c. 2, Chatique, by Deputy Minister. Saratoga Race Course, 9/2, 5.5f, fast, 1:05.38. Won by a head. O—Jones Jr., Jack, G., Houchin, David; B—Mineola Farm II LLC & David R. Houchin (Ky.); T—H. Graham Motion. 2-1-0-0, $32,280. Technique hustled to the front under jockey Edgar Prado and held a one-length lead into the stretch, where he dug in to win by a head in his second start.
The dark bay or brown colt finished fourth in his career debut in a 5½-furlong maiden special weight race on August 3 at Delaware Park. He is one of two winners from five starters out of the Deputy Minister mare Chatique, who is a half sister to multiple Grade 3 winner Fantastic Fellow from the family of English champion, classic winner, and sire Henbit.
---------------------------
The day before, Pleine Forme became our first black-type placed two year old when she ran a cracker to finish third in the P.G. Johnson Stakes at Saratoga. She went a little wide in the stretch which left room for a fast finisher to catch her for second but a very good run.

Spelled wrong, should be Senor Dehere (after his sire) but he ran as fast as a hare in his maiden at Saratoga today. Bowled out of the gate, let the field get away a little which was just as well as they were going a crazy pace, pulled to the outside and ran them down! His stride was magnificent to watch. Two ticks off the track record too. Congratulations to Finmore Thoroughbreds.

Silver Reunion ran the best race of her career today in the Ballston Spa (Grade II) at Saratoga. Keen to get on with things I noticed she almost ran on to the racetrack from the paddock and once in the gate she came out too soon so they had to put her back again! She got her position at the front of the pack and for a while I thought she was going too fast but it seemed to be a comfortable cruising speed for her as she was fresh off a lay off of ten months. She was just overtaken before the wire by the multiple Graded Stakes winning filly Dynaslew but what a great race Silver Reunion ran - she had a lot of good horses behind her! This is her first Graded Stakes and a very promising race she ran too. The finishing time was about half a second off the track record!

He's beginning to look like one and ran like one last night!! Since he came to us a few months ago this two year old has blossomed. Gelding helped as he was rather naughty! He ran his first race over five furlongs at Presque Isle Downs in 1:00.3 and looked good doing it as he pulled away from his field in the last sixteenth. They didn't look to be slowing down which was the impressive part; he seemed to be finding another gear. Wide Receiver by name and by nature!

Really good result for Gypsy's Warning today in the Beverly D (Grade I) run at Arlington Park. Beaten only by a filly who was only half a length behind the great late Tuscan Evening (aptly owned by the owner of Arlington Park, Richard Duchossois) and the filly who won the Queen Elizabeth (Grade I) at Keeneland last fall. It was a real Grade I race and we are very proud of her.

Icabad Crane finished third in the West Point Stakes at Saratoga on the grass yesterday. This is the first time he's tried the grass again since he encountered soft turf at Belmont in May of 2009. In between, he's been running very competitively in Stake races on the dirt. Nice to have a verstatile horse!
Quechee had his first Stake run yesterday and finished a good third at Presque Isle Downs in the Lil E. Tee Handicap Stakes. Well done him.

 This weekend, Herringswell Stables will send out the stakes winning fillies Gypsy's Warning and Check the Label in the Grade I Beverly D and Grade II Lake Placid respectively. The duo have compiled four stakes victories in 2010.
Team Valor and Green Lantern Stables' Gypsy's Warning will make her third start in North America when she heads to the gate in the $750,000 Beverly D at Arlington Park on Saturday. In her latest, the Mongon 5-year-old finished fifth, beaten less than two lengths in the Grade II Dance Smartly at Woodbine. The Beverly D is a wide-open affair of competitive fillies and mares. The Beverly D field goes as follows; Treat Gently, Romacaca, Rainbow View, Eclaire de Lune, Ave, Hot Cha Cha, Acoma, Pachattack, Biased and Gypsy's Warning. The elusive Grade I for fillies and mares shares the stage with the Grade I Arlington Million on the Chicago racetrack's premier day.
Gypsy's Warning will arrive in Saratoga Tuesday afternoon before her flight Wednesday morning for her tilt in the Beverly D.
Lael Stables' Check The Label plans to take her three-race-winning-streak into the Grade II $150,000 Lake Placid on Sunday August 22. The Stormin Fever 3-year-old filly captured the Grade III Appalachian Stakes, G II Sands Point and the G III Virginia Oaks consecutively. Check the Label is expected to face a field that is expected to include It's Tea Time and No Explaining, among others.
Check the Label will be ridden by Ramon Dominguez for the third consecutive time.
