We were all holding our breath just now!  Aruna, running for the first time in the States, didn’t break very well and then had to sit behind a slow pace, very scary!  Obviously this is a classy filly from France as she overcame that to come from last to first, but it was a breath […]

The 2010 Saratoga meet wraps up today and we don’t have anything running in Stakes so I can confirm our tally for this meet is THREE seconds in a Grade I, Grade II and Grade III. All were beaten by inches; as the saying goes, so close but so far… We have had seven Stakes […]

I thought she had too much unbridled energy at first as she zipped out of the gate and wanted to go! John Velasquez harnessed her a little to sit behind the front runner but the turf at Saratoga is fast so the fractions didn’t slow down much! She took the lead around the last turn […]

Both last night, one at Penn National and one at Presque Isle Downs. Miss Mockingbird who won at Penn National never ceases to amaze me.  She’s run 10 ten times and only once been out of the first three.  Even then she was fourth!  Congratulations to Debby Oxley. Pendulum, who was running on the Tapeta for […]

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. […]

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! […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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!
