Year 50 Fantasy Turf Route Racing -- Scoring Thread

[Dan Kauffman]

Loveless' victory in the Pegasus Turf vaulted George Knatz into the lead.

[Tan Gent]

Yet to have a point. I better quit now.

[Dan Kauffman]

Midnight Soprano made Nicholas Johnson pretty happy tonight.

Troubadour did not do the same for Nick Gilmore.

[Dan Kauffman]

Dr. Stephens' victory in the G3 Sir William Stakes sends Laura Smith into second place, just behind George Knatz, after the Week 3 Friday Europe races.

Thunder Bay, Just Come Home and Make 'Em Hot posted 90s in their victories (Make 'Em Hot made me especially happy with that effort).

[Nick Gilmore]

Troubadour did not do the same for Nick Gilmore.

Au contraire, it could have been worse. This race probably made Dave Trainer happy and I’m thrilled, lol

[Dan Kauffman]

Candy's victory in the Grade 1 City of Gold Cup has pushed Laura Smith out to a somewhat sizable lead.

King of Ashes won the G2 Northern California Bunbury with a 90.

I will make more entries updates later, as I'm battling a sinus pressure headache.

[Lily Miles March]

Candy and Loveless are looking very, very nice, but I'm pleased with King of Ashes, especially as he was my fourth pick!

[Dan Kauffman]

Candy was a fourth-round pick, too. Stolen Dance and With Class were also later-round draft picks making a big difference.

[Carole Hanson]

Candy and Loveless are looking very, very nice, but I'm pleased with King of Ashes, especially as he was my fourth pick!

Can't believe he came up AFTER Moon Faced considering King of Ashes is a 'freak' but then again you might not be able to tell looking at his 2yo form. Well here's hoping he continues to run like a freak this year!

No, I wouldn't have guessed - well, lucky me if he turns out to be even freakier as a 3yo, hehe.

Points updated through Monday's races. I'm going to wait a day to update entries because I'm still half in a general anesthetic fog.

Mauretania was the day's big winner, taking the G1 Hot Springs Bunburette.

[Garret Folsom]

There are a few head to head matchups coming on Friday....

In the Hong Kong Silver Cup, it will be Kitasan Soul (Glenn Escobar) vs The Good Kisser (Kaine Saracen)

Then the 3-way race:
In the Danish Jockey Club Stakes, it will be Take Me Black (Dave Trainer) vs Wild Tiger Soul (Randall Johnson) vs Devils and Angels (Kaine Saracen)

[Lily Miles March]

I'm taking on myself! May the best me win. Of course, I also have to lose. Doh. (If I get a 1, 2, that would redeem the situation somewhat!)

[Dan Kauffman]

Grade 1 wins by Goodnite Goodnite (Japanese Spring Marathon, 92) and The Good Kisser (Hong Kong Silver Cup, 91) in Asia have Garret Folsom and Kaine Saracen feeling good. Folsom vaulted past Laura Smith into the lead, but there's a lot of racing still to come today.

[Dan Kauffman]

Wild Tiger Soul (Danish Jockey Club Stakes) and With All My Love (Danish Trophy Stakes) pick up G2 victories in Europe.

Moon Faced won the Premio dell'Italia with a sizzling 95.

Laura Smith edged back ahead in the standings.
