Namaskara, half-sister to our beloved Aruna, just loves Gulfstream Park.  They say horses for courses and this is a great example.  She was running today for her new connections and this was her third win from four starts at the Florida track.  There was a very fast pace up front and Edgar had a nice […]

After writing how pleased we were with the girls I couldn’t forget the boy!  Stephanoatsee ran a good second in the Grade II Strub Stakes at Santa Anita.  After running his usual stalking race from towards the back of the field he came with his run and basically ran out of distance!  Another 1/8 would have […]

Although neither won their Grade III’s at Tampa, both Rusty Slipper and Appealing Cat definitely deserve honorable mentions.  Rusty Slipper was running in her 3rd race having run only once as a two year old.  She went rather wide on the turn and looked as if she was still running a little green but did well to […]

Alice sent this photo of Stephanoatsee paddock schooling under the most beautiful blue sky.  A friend in California told me it’s due to the Santa Ana winds that blow everything out to sea and leaves the sky this color.  Gorgeous.  Stephanoatsee is out there to run in the Strub Stakes (Grade II) on Saturday.   […]

Arrive won his first start today.  He was close last time out and managed to fight the strong head wind they had today at Laurel to hold on.  Congratulations to Dark Hollow Farm et al.

Ascauga won his first race over six furlongs and didn’t have a problem at all yesterday in stretching out to a one turn mile at Laurel.  He looked relaxed and rateable and Jeremy was able to pull him back off the pace to come with a nice run down the stretch.  Congratulations to Dunbarton Stable.

Actually, the weather isn’t too bad up here now the last couple of days!  68 later….

We like!  Holiday Star won his second race in three starts.  A little disappointing first time out at Keeneland he got his confidence on the turf at Tampa in his last start and stepped up today to win at Gulfstream Park.  He was ridden by new ‘1,000 winners’ jockey Joe Rocco, Jr.  (well, that was […]

What a cute name and what a cute filly!  There is no mistaking this dainty girl for a colt!  She’s a pretty tough girl though who likes to pull hard in training in the mornings.  She had rather a troubled trip today at Laurel what with stumbling at the start and then having to wait […]

Cerro came over from Italy back in the fall, has run well in his first three races over here and made it a win today.  He led wire to wire which maybe is the way he wants to run – he’s never got out of the gate quick enough before to do that!  Congratulations to […]
