VEGEMITE ON TOAST may be toasted.\u00a0\u00a0 He was sitting on the sidelines for the past two months and maybe I\u2019m at fault for throwing him to a distance of 10 furlongs this week and he finished a double digit lengths back in fourth in a five horse field.\u00a0 Luckily, he stayed in Japan and there was no travel notching against the 10 BP\u2019s earned.\u00a0 The 67 speed doesn\u2019t sit well for me, so he\u2019s going to the auction.\u00a0 G-card was gained from the race<\/p>\n
TENNO SHO ran for a cheap $3,000 claiming price and if it weren\u2019t for difficulties spotting him in a race and paying for shipping, I would have gained some credits.\u00a0 He made a modest late run but nothing spectacular or serious but slipped into the fourth spot at the end of the race.\u00a0 Only walked away from the track with a G-card dangling in my hand.<\/p>\n
ELITE DANE continues to be impressive and a gem for this contest.\u00a0 This week he went a bit longer and higher in class.\u00a0 The race was a dirt mile for a rich claiming price of $125,000.\u00a0\u00a0 Elite ran second in the first half of the race and moved to the front but got run down in the stretch by a 22\/1 longshot.\u00a0 Not to upset with that as Elite himself was a 15\/1 longshot.\u00a0 Finishing second brought 17 BP\u2019s and he\u2019s been 1st<\/sup> or 2nd<\/sup> in each of three starts for me.\u00a0\u00a0 And this 7-year old scored his career best speed of 103.\u00a0 Some get better with age!\u00a0\u00a0 Two cards drawn from the deck due to the large field, but they were both G-cards.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll miss HALF TANKED who raced for me a total of five times.\u00a0 This was his last week as he was claimed away from me in a $7,500 claiming race where he went a mile distance.\u00a0\u00a0 He left on a very good note by picking up a win for me marking a record of 2-2-0 while with the stable.\u00a0 25 BP\u2019s were earned this week and he brought me a total of 102 during his duration.\u00a0 Finally, three cards were also picked up with the win happening in a large 13 horse field.\u00a0\u00a0 The cards included an F-card and a pair of G\u2019s.<\/p>\n SOLID KASH CARD ran in a 5 furlong MSW with three year olds this week and duplicated her 57 speed from her first start.\u00a0 She finished fourth in the race and picked up 7 BP\u2019s along with one card to boot (G-card).\u00a0 I\u2019ll give her one shot on the dirt and if she doesn\u2019t pick things up, she\u2019ll be cut free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stable Changes<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m keeping the Auctioneer busy as Vegemite On Toast has been sent off and SPIRNG PROSPECTS has been moved out of the farm and will train for next week.\u00a0 Vegemite brought only one buck at the auction.<\/p>\n Also, Tenno Sho has only brought in BP\u2019s once in four starts.\u00a0 He\u2019s capable, but I\u2019ve lost patience with him.\u00a0\u00a0 He was sold for a much nicer $28,377. I\u2019ve burnt up another 4-G cards and bred DESIRED RUNNER as a 3-year old.\u00a0\u00a0 The pedigree for this one didn\u2019t come out with anything that caught my eye, so he may turn out to be a quick flip.\u00a0 Still, he may proof worthy.\u00a0 He\u2019ll train for a week then hit the track.<\/p>\n To quickly fill the gap with the Half Tank claim, I opted to burn through some more G-cards.\u00a0 I do have three in the farm but they are not ready to return to the track.\u00a0 So I used DESPERATE MEASURE as the name, as I have become desperate in this challenge.\u00a0\u00a0 She came out as a 3 year old filly and has connections in her breeding to some nice runners, such as Awesome Again, Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer.\u00a0 Maybe she\u2019ll produce.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Totals<\/b><\/p>\n SIRE CARDS:<\/p>\n 7 G-cards and 1 F-card this week were earned with the races.\u00a0 I used 8 G-cards to breed two\u00a0 horses.\u00a0 The total sits at \u00a02-F cards and \u00a014 G-cards.<\/p>\n BP\u2019s<\/p>\n 59 BP\u2019s earned this week advancing the challenge total to 407.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A very busy week for the stable with 5 horses entering the starting gate.\u00a0 Four of the runners earned Breeding<\/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-32565","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\/32565","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=32565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32566,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32565\/revisions\/32566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
