Best Worst Week Eva

I did 13: 5-0-2 with two more 4ths.

My winners, three were allowances, one a maiden, and the last an ungraded stakes.

Yet Yami was third

Best Worst Week ever

I wasn't expecting much this week so I am happy just to have gotten 1 win! King's Ransom (one of my cleverer names) made me regret selling his dam by breaking his maiden by 6.

It's Okay to Hurt ran second in the Marygate Stakes, which I'm pleased with, and Always Will tried but didn't quite get there in a ridiculously tough running of the Hialeah Sprint Championship. He'll go in an allowance in a few weeks just to chill out after several consecutive tough races. *pets Willie and gives carrot*

This coming week I have a lot of horses running, so that's always exciting!

12-0-3-3

Pretty good week, my highest payout though no wins.

River of Silence ran a good 3rd in the Grand National, i'm proud of him for doing so well. Hopefully a drop in distance will find him back in the winners circle.

Seconds by Amazon Warrior, Canoodle and Lands End which all make me really excited. Warrior seems to appreciate turf, Canoodle the jump and Lands End Australia which makes me think there may be something to my training abilities after all lol. Thirds by River of Silence, Lighted Candle and my beloved Star City who will get them next time.

In other exciting news, out of his first crop of just three Better Talk Now has a stakes winner! Better Talk Kawaii won the Premio Grande for 2yr olds in Rome, i'm super excited to see how he does. Congrats on his win Bob Oliva!

basically an unexciting week. Idle Thoughts was 2nd in a G2, and even though I wanted a win, she still is awesome <3 her

9; 1/1/0

Its all about Just Cause, oh how i love this horse, im thinking Group winner in time, he was moved from Brazil to Nad Al Sheba to Germany in three weeks and stillhe bolts up by 2 lengths, great thing is he beat the horse who beat him in his first race. Darla got me a second, i know it was alot to ask from her shipping to japan and all so im happy.

I got my first stakes win of the year (only my second stakes START of the year!) when my 2yo colt Blaze of Lightning (Lost in the Fog-Touchstone, by Tri Star) took the Florida Stakes.

Then I got my second stakes win of the year when my favorite 2yo filly (who am I kidding, she's my favorite horse I currently have running) Is Wanting Enough (Kotashaan-Inamorata, by Sadler's Wells) won the Premio Nameo in Rome.

Wooooooo!

WONDER! Woooo! She has had her match race with Empire in the Pimlico Special (she wanted to win the Preakness last year but Empire denied her) and she proved once again she can run with the best - boys that is! Sorry Susie...

BARA! Wooo! She smoked at 2miles in South Africa, soo nice.

Super Light! Woo! He must love South Africa...

Chevelle! Woo! I am excited she is liking 7f's, she has her eyes on the BC filly sprint.

Joy Division and Lone Justice picking up 2yo stakes wins! YAY!

Had some nice allowance/maiden wins as well.

Now for the best part.... I had 3 horses running on the wrong surfaces. Yep I am special like that. I must not see the race descriptions "TURF" for my dirt horses and "DIRT" for my turf horses sometimes. Now if any of them had won I would have been "yeah I meant to do that..." LOL

As I told Em, Alysse was more bummed about that one than I was! I think they were both more confident than I was going in - your gal's a toughie!

Pretty awesome week... *12* winners including some serious romping. One of the most special horses ever, Afriendisneverlost, finally won. Colors Bright CRUSHED a nice field. Dark Blue romped to a third straight win. One of my favorite two-year-olds, Equinox, was a "much the best" 6-length winner first time out. Red Lights was also much the best in winning the West Australian Oaks. Rescued made it a sweep of the Puerto Rican maiden events. Tomorrow, with the addition of earmuffs, not only hit the board for the first time, but won easily. Trusting Fate won first time out, easily, despite stumbling at the start. Valley Forge finally got back in the winners' circle. Vernacular's really, really awesome. Zinformation lost his manhood but won a race pretty nicely. And then there's this horse who won a G1 turf sprint. I forget his name, but the rumor is he's pretty ok.

Exciting on the board efforts by All The People (a game 2nd in the Dante), Bainbridge Forever (game second in the Grand National!), Empire (seriously, love him), and Retrospect in particular.

Wooooooo!

Woooooo!

Kotashaan's first stakes winner. ^_^

I had an OK week, nothing special. A few maiden winners, notably My Only One, half to Been Worthwhile. Yay!

7: 2 0 2

Two big wins from my foundation of two year olds:

Lucrezia Borgia won her first start, beating a pretty tough field in England.

Chocolate War, coming off bucked shins, easily won his maiden race.

I am very happy and *heart* the sim no matter how much of a dork i sounded like in my interview last night (keep your ears open for the SIMCAST featuring a Steward interview with...um, ME. And note that for reasons I can't even fathom, I was more nervous than i've been since that time i had to tell my dad i threw my back out hauling kegs.)

Um, i'll write something this weekend, probably Sunday.

well the good new all 3 brought home checks and it covered this weeks board

Stormy finished 3rd, was a good battle for 2nd 3rd and 4th as the horse that won was 10 lengths in front of them

Potions my 2 yr old Scrappy T i think still needs more distance

Stork had a respectable 4th in a steeplechase race

not bad

Janey Adams · Post by **Janey Adams** » 17 years ago

I ended up with less money this morning than I had last night, but that's okay. I went 37-3-6-3-5 for $60,450. I also claimed three horses out of the five I put in slips for. I won with a beautiful filly I'd been working on a deal for for a LONG time (at least it seems like!) who'd been dying to run on the turf, Careless Whisper in a N2L, and Fight the Laughter, a filly I'd been trying to sell for what seems like AGES, but I luckily realized she needed to go long before I could convince someone to take her from me. I think I'm more nervous about the fact that I just entered Desert Victory in what I'm assuming will be the toughest race of his life.

I'm GUILTY too. Not this week, but after recently messing up with two very good little turf fillies, I read the condition about 10 times.
