I ran 8 2-1-1

Highlights;
Baccie won her allowance! The first horse I have who has won two races for me! WOOT!
Black Cat Crossing... now offically an allowance winner as well not just a claiming horse! I've always had faith in him

Symboli Magellan took 2nd in a 45k claimer

Arravision took third in an allowance after a really poor race his last outing

all my others were kind of icky

I ran 5. 2-1-1

Souvenir won the New Player Challenge Round 2 to follow up his Round 1 win

Bidding On Indy finally seemed to come around and broke her maiden

Silver Success ran 2nd in the Sanjaya Malakar stakes.. I really wanted to win that one for some reason..lol. I really like this horse. I think he has heart.

Stand on Guard ran a third at puerto rico but i think i see potential here.

all in all it was a great week for me.

Highlights:

Black Impact, third in a maiden in Japan. Ran a little green.

Dare - third in the Believe In Magic. She's not been doing so hot as a four year old, but will still run to the end of the season.

La Parisienne - won the Ramona Handicap in an easy two and a half lengths. Gotta love.

Le Diable Noir - third in a 1 1/4 mile allowance. This horse wants to run...and run...maybe I need to find him a 2 mile race.

Pop Culture - broke her maiden *finally*.

None of my 4 entree's made me money this week. : (

I'm a little bummed about that...but also I have to take it in stride since I know I have horses that might just truely be duds, or just need a wee bit more time for me to figure them out. : ) I'm hoping that it's the latter, and I'll have some regular ol' money earners in my barn in another 3 to 4 weeks.

I am happy they seemed to have improved...none of them ran 12th

Champ was 2nd in his claiming race at Belmont, Accmplished has shipped back to the states, he is exhausted and will get some much needed rest before his next race.

Check your stable Stormy

He just ran, but should be a solid racer for you.

A 2yr old from a $50,000 stud fee horse!

Wow...that's very generous of you!

I'm having a lot of fun trying to improve upon the underachievers I bought...and have been seeing some improvements...not a lot, but some, so that makes me hopeful things will get better with that lot, but this 2 year old is by far a much nicer horse...hit the board in all of his starts so far...still a maiden, but I doubt he'll be like that for long.

I read someone was doing an article about random acts of kindness in this game...well...I just got hit with the r.a.k. semi-truck....or should I say " A Bus".

I had one colt run and he did poorly but it was only his second start so I'm not too concerned.

It seems that most of my horses run the same weeks. I've had just 1 horse race these past two weeks and this upcoming week I have 5 or 6. Quite a few of them have a good shot, so I'm excited

8: 1-2-2. My Girl Friday found the winner's circle again in with an "easy" victory in an allowance race; My Countdown and Remember the Race both ran nice seconds, finishing well in the stretch after bad showings in their last races; Res Mira finished third in an allowance and Soledad finished third in a claimer. Wickedly was a disappointment in an allowance and Pirated finished way off the board after a long trip.

Just a question, though it might get buried. The running line says Res Mira checked hard and then hung. Is the hanging a result of the check, therefore I shouldn't mess with her equipment, or should I do some adjusting?

when i see hung I either add blinkers or take them off.

I give this filly SO much credit, and it's not just because I own her sire. The female sprint division is brutal, and she always manages to keep up. She is a tough, tough filly.

It was a rather dismal week, no wins, but at least Thumb Fun brought home a good check. A very good girl, now she'll get a nice break.
