Trying to collect more cards in this challenge series was a difficult task this week.\u00a0 Starting things off with TETE BISMARK who came off a decent second last time out at 9 furlongs and add a smidge of distance going 9.5 this week, staying at the SAF racetrack with another smidge in moving up to a tag of $4,000 (from $3,000) in the starter allowance class.\u00a0 The field was full at 14, with two additional runners compared to his last start where Tete recorded a 106 speed.\u00a0 Once again the favorite in the race, this time at 5\/2, he ran a smilar path getting away 6th.\u00a0 At the halfway point, he was advancing on the leaders and pushed his way into third.\u00a0 Still gaining ground, he wasn’t fast enough as he would lose by just shy of two lengths and finish fourth.\u00a0 The payout was 10 BPs and a G card and less encouraging was the drop in speed to 96.<\/p>\n
HENNY YOUGMAN has been housed at the farm since being claimed in a 4.5 furlong dirt claiming race back in April.\u00a0 \u00a0He’s a talented gelding in many ways, winning on both dirt and turf as well as sprint and route.\u00a0 His debut for the stable was on the turf at a mile distance running in a starter allowance with a $10k price tag.\u00a0 \u00a0An 8 horse field put him in the third spot in the early fractions.\u00a0 He would move up one position just past the half and eventually taking the lead.\u00a0 But it would only last for a few steps as a late runner would roll on by and Henny would finish second by 1 1\/2 lengths, losing to the favorite.\u00a0 Not bad for the 5\/2 second choice and hopefully the second start after the rest break will be even better than the\u00a0 94 speed on the lawn.\u00a0 2-G cards and 20 BP’s were earned in the race.<\/p>\n
Finally we have CHUANDONGOELURUS who has been on the fence and need to have a good race to retain his spot with the stable.\u00a0 He’s been off the board in his last two starts and this week was on the lawn going 7.5 furlongs in a bottom of the bowl $2,000 claimer.\u00a0 \u00a0In the 12 horse field, he was never a threat and the closest he ever got was seventh, and that came as he crossed the line.\u00a0 \u00a0In six starts with the stable, he earned 40 BP’s and won two races.\u00a0 He has been entered into the auction and pulled a G-card following the race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Long time runner RESERVATION FOR ME is rejoining the stable.\u00a0 He’s been sitting in the farm since July, earning a rest break after running ten times for the stable and posting a record of 5-3-0.\u00a0 \u00a0He’s good for running the long routes with 20 wins over 46 races coming on both surfaces.\u00a0 Looking for him to keep his contributions going with the stable and he’ll train and sharpen up over the next two weeks or so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Summarazing the week, there were only 4 G-cards and\u00a0 30 BP’s for the week.\u00a0 The stable now holds 1,510 BP’s.\u00a0 Already on hand is one G-card so that will be traded in with the other four picked up this week to obtain an F.\u00a0 \u00a0This gives the stable 3-D’s, 1-E and 4-F’s.\u00a0 \u00a0Next week three more horses will look for a spot to run and maybe we’ll be able to bump those F’s in for an E.<\/p>\n
