I really am not found of the auction as a newbie and what I picked up is not so good. At least I picked this one up for one dollar so if he gives me a fifth place then I should be happy.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><U><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">49276: Backdoor Draw<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/U><\/B><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">This is a 3y old colt which has 11 races under his belt. Aside from a third place and three fifths this one did nothing and thus is still a maiden. I will have to put it in the lowest maidenclaimers I can find.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">He has only ran once on turf and I think I will try him first on turf. The influence of the DDS should give turfroutes so I first try it on a turfmile again. But my hopes are not high for this one. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">In the auction I bid on three horses and off course this one was clearly the worst and noone overbid me.

But this one has been running on dirt constantly with exception of the first two races.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">If you look at the past performances then we see that this one is also clearly a horse for the longer distance, still I would like to know what it can do in a turfroute, so that will probably be my first step with this horse. The horse has been gathering bp\u2019s pretty consistently, so this is not a bad claim.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><U><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">90290: <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags\" \/><st1:City w:st=\"on\">Battle<\/st1:City> of <st1:place w:st=\"on\">Antietam<\/st1:place><o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/U><\/B><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">Picked up in a 4K claimer<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN lang=EN-US style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\">In his 16 races this one grabbed bp\u2019s 14 times.
