mile distance, ELITE DANE was trimmed back to 5 furlongs and a lower $75,000 claiming price.\u00a0 Staying in Oklahoma, this front runner has adjusted well to the 80-early speed setting and has not been fading off at the end.\u00a0 He delivered another second place finish worthy of 20 BP\u2019s\u00a0 and also a G-card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SOLID KASH CARD, a horse bred from sire cards, raced for her third time.\u00a0\u00a0 She was moved over to the dirt for the first time and ran with older horses in a $12,500 claiming race.\u00a0 She did well as the 5\/1 second choice.\u00a0 Although she could not defeat the heavy 1\/10 favorite, she was within a stride at the wire and took second place.\u00a0 27 BP\u2019s were collected as well as another G-card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>THE FOUR \u2018F\u2019 CLUB has not been burning up the track by far as evidenced by her speeds in the 50-range as a sire card bred filly.\u00a0 This week she stretched a bit in distance from 4.5 furlongs to 6 furlongs and bumped up in claiming to the $15,000 price tag.\u00a0 The favorite ran on the front and ran away with the race, however, the remaining five bottled up in the stretch for a hard dual to the wire for the second spot.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This filly took the second spot moving up from the rear of the field at 9\/1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Earned 27 BP\u2019s from this race and the common G-card to boot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Stable Changes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Four \u2018F\u2019 Club has had lower speeds than I really would like, but has been on the board in each start.\u00a0 Still, I\u2019m keeping her but putting her to the farm for a bit.\u00a0 In her wake,\u00a0 CHALLENGE TAKER has been moved into the stable.\u00a0 This one is a recently bred horse from the sire card deck and I don\u2019t expect much from her.\u00a0 She\u2019ll be racing in early November after training for about 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Totals<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>SIRE CARDS:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three G-cards were picked from the deck giving me a total of 2 F-cards and 21 G-cards.\u00a0 I have traded 20 G-cards in to get me 4 F-cards, changing the total to 6-F cards and 1 G-card.\u00a0 I\u2019m debating whether I want to breed an F-card horse or trade up until I get a pair of E-cards and exchange that for a sire share.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BP\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>74 BP\u2019s make a feeling that a jackpot was just hit.\u00a0 Not quite but a very welcome boost of the total in this 1,000 challenge to 523.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three went to post and three brought home some bacon.\u00a0 Gotta love weeks like
