Took a while but we finally got a win.\u00a0 Still struggling but considering the lack of talent I started with, I’m hoping that the stable is now turning the corner.<\/p>\n
I tossed ANDREA’S into a $10,000 claiming race on the dirt to see what she could do on the surface, since she had only one previous start on the soil.\u00a0 It turned out not well as she finished sixth, a good dozen lengths back while running 9 furlongs.\u00a0 I’ll take her back to the turf and search for a low end claiming race for her in the next start.\u00a0 Got no BP’s and 1 G-Card<\/p>\n
MONEY BUYS POWER ran for the second time for the stable and left a higher priced starter allowance race and I entered into a $3,000 claiming race.\u00a0 At 4\/1, he was the third choice and when leaving the gate, he took position in the middle of the field.\u00a0 He took his time and ran steadily to move to the lead and win by a half stride.\u00a0 Earned 25 BP’s for the week and another G-card<\/p>\n
BARK AT THE RAIN also made his second start for the stable and went off at 14\/1.\u00a0 He ran in the $7,500 claiming race at 7 furlongs and shot out of the gate and ran on the lead.\u00a0 He was pressured throughout the race and had very little left in the stretch run, tiring back into fifth.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve reset the early speed setting from Jockey to 85 in hopes this will help preserve some energy in his nextstart.\u00a0 No BP’s as travel consumed the small amount he would have earned.\u00a0 Did get an F-card.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One addition was made to the farm.\u00a0 I picked up HALF LOCO from the auction for $5,001.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s a six year old sired by Half Ours with bloodline connections to Kingmambo and Alydar.\u00a0 He’s a consistent point earner as he’s been ITM 23 of 27 races and has a knack of winning as he has collected 11 victories.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His last start was the first time he ran in a claiming race and that was at a very price $100,000 where he finished 2nd.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s still firing off speeds in the 90-range and can compete on the turf or dirt.\u00a0\u00a0 For now, he’ll sit in the farm until I have an opening in the stable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I now have 4 F-cards and 14-G cards.\u00a0 BP’s now total 56.<\/p>\n
