Finally caught a break and got some BP\u2019s this week.\u00a0\u00a0 I had 5 runners going this week, so chances were good I would get something back.\u00a0 Also picked up a nice F-card.\u00a0\u00a0 Things changing for the better?\u00a0 We\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n
Results<\/b><\/p>\n
UNTIL THEN has been dropping and dropping in the claiming ranks from $60k to this weeks $7,500.\u00a0 The steady drop has not yielded any results and this week was no exception.\u00a0 As the 3\/1 favorite I expected a better than 6th<\/sup> place finish.\u00a0 The horse was never a factor in the race but has a decent breeding line.\u00a0 Someone was attracted to that and the horse was claimed from me.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One G-card picked up.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Finally caught a break, thanks to ELITE DANE.\u00a0 This 7-year old is a horse I picked up through the auction and has not raced since 2012.\u00a0 After 3-years being sidelined, he still has it.\u00a0 At 9\/2 he took off and was close to the leaders throughout the 6f, $15k claiming race.\u00a0 He responded nicely at the half and won by over a stride.\u00a0 A nice 30 BP\u2019s came along with that as well as the lowly G-card.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TENNO SHO returned to the turf and dropped into a $5k claiming race and went off at 7\/1.\u00a0 He ran very well, briefly getting the lead in the stretch but could not fight off the eventual winner.\u00a0\u00a0 He finished a stride and a half back but earned the second spot and 17 BP\u2019s along with another G-card.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I FORSEE YOU made her second start for me and took on the dirt track this time.\u00a0 Except it was a sloppy dirt track.\u00a0 She ran within striking distance for most of the $5,000 claiming race but could only muster out a fourth place finish that brought home zilch due to traveling costs.\u00a0 I did get an F-card this time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHALLENGED ONE, a G-card bred colt, ran for the second time in a cheap $3,000 claiming race and finished fifth in the 5 horse field but was also victimized by the traveling cost.\u00a0 He ran dirt for second time and I\u2019ll give him a tryout on the turf next time to see if things will change.\u00a0 Only a G-card for this one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stable Changes<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n IN FOR A CHALLENGE is a new addition to the stable, courtesy of using some G-cards.\u00a0 The 3 year old colt comes from the unknown line of ARAMUS X HOOCHED X IMPERIAL FLING and has a bit of in-bred lines going as Danzig and Northern Dancer populate twice.\u00a0 With Until Twice being claimed, this new bred has been put into the lineup.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also picked up SPRING PROSPECTS \u00a0through a $2,000 claim and cost me 4 BP\u2019s to win the runner.\u00a0\u00a0 He is a turf runner who has finished in the top 5 spots, worthy of BP\u2019s in 9 of his last 10 starts.\u00a0 I am hopeful that this run is not over yet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SUPER AWESOME SONG was put into the auction after poor results last week and I got a small $201.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Totals<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n SIRE CARDS:<\/p>\n Picked up a total of 4 G-cards and a nicer F-card this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOTAL CARDS:<\/p>\n 1-F\u00a0 &\u00a0 20-G\u2019s<\/p>\n BP\u2019s:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, earned some BP\u2019s\u202647 of them this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Total for this challenge is now at 145.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally caught a break and got some BP\u2019s this week.\u00a0\u00a0 I had 5 runners going this week, so chances were<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":363,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-31738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-1000-bp-challenge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/363"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31738"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31739,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31738\/revisions\/31739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
