I'm really excited about the coming race results! two weeks of planning and I get to see it in action in my very first racing week! Yay!

Who is your biggest hopeful for the first week?

This is my first racing week also! I am looking forward to all my horsies that are running this week, but my favorite to see is Gold Storm!!

Im really excited. I've got a few homebreds racing and I can't wait for them to go.

I'm nervous as heck for Desert Victory to make his return to the U.S. in Week 3. I have two races picked out for him, and I have no idea which one will be easier. I'd rather ease him into the competition over here than throw him to the big guys he dodged in the Derby last year right off the bat. Oy...nervousness...

Also, his half-sister by Medallist is debuting Week 1 at Aqueduct. Yay!

I am excited about the new racing year. My biggest interest for week 1 is my Atlas-Moved To Tears daughter, Tears of Passion(or in my case tears of frustration). This filly is a half-sib to the multi stakes winner Tears of the Stars. As a 2yo she was not at her best, I am hoping with the added distance and age she will improve. Worst case scenario for me is she will be retired at the end of her 3yo year to the broodmare band if she continues to not perform up to my expectations.
She is racing in Milan in a 1 1/4 mile race that will hopefully be more to her liking than previous races.

Of course, I wish all my horsies good, safe trips, but all I wanna really say is...GO LIL' VILLAINS!

I have so few entries this week, I almost can't believe it. I think I may have run a few too many in week 16 of year 17. Anywho, my biggest hope this week is Jolly Good, obviously. On paper, she's run this same distance over two seconds faster than anybody else in the race, but who knows what can happen. It's her stakes debut!

I was so suprised when I saw this thread... "what? results already? that can't be right." Not that it's bad! lol. This last break must have been harder on me then I thought.

I'm *extremely* excited for the debuts of my homebreds, including a couple colts from my own stallions. I'm also looking forward to seeing how my auction purchases do!

I'm so ready for the races the run! I'm most anxious to see how Lost in the Clouds does in her first real test. She's up against some nice fillies, and she just shipped acrossed the whole country- so I'm hoping she's still got what it takes... but we'll see.

I have a gazillion steeplechase horses, so that is super exciting! I hope I have a superstar hidden in there somewhere!

I also have many sprint two year olds debuting, including one of my favorites, Pacific Sunset- a daughter of the late Lost in the Fog.

Should be a good week... at least, I've got my fingers crossed!

I'm most excited about Alydar's Shadow, I'm hoping he'll make a good debut in his maiden race. I have 13 horses entered in week one... to many I think but I'm planning on buying more. The day rate hasn't worried me so I'm not worried about having more horses. Also I've got claims on two horses I hope I get them (or one of them).

I am looking forward to seeing how all my horses do in week 1, don't know what to expect from paint in black he has been on a bit of a lay off

Sheba's Gold don't know what to expect out of him as I really don't have too high of expectations just want him to give it his all, he is my favorite horse mix of seeking the gold, alysheba and ferdinand

although I am looking forward to seeing how Clear Lake my Giant's Causeway colt does in his ventures in new zealand in week 1 as I have him racing there and in australia this season, he will probably race in europe next season and in the usa in the season after that health willing

I'm just excited it's BACK! I don't have many in, and most that are aren't terribly exciting. Really looking forward to my first 'chaser though! And I have a trio of nice fillies running in stakes company. Plus, Izou, who'll always be one of my favorites, is in a nice spot.
