We would like to take the time to welcome a few new owners to the stable. Scott Rake who races under the name Rake Farm Llc. has sent us a pair of 3 year old fillies that will be racing in the Mid -Atlantic region this Spring and Summer. Fusachi Pretty is a daughter of FuPeg that will be pointed to grass races once she gets North and Lyle's Angel is a grey filly by Value Plus that who was second last out at Tampa in her first race since the fall.
Dave Blaha who has been involved with Dee Tee Stables since its inception has finally taken the plunge and purchased his own horse, Brad's Kitten a gelded son of Kitten's Joy who is being pointed to a race at Parx on April 19th.
Fox Tale Racing Stable has sent us Double Edged Sword a PA bred that won three races last year and is coming off of a layoff due to an injury. Fox Tale Racing is a division of Fox Tale Stud a commercial breeding farm located in Coopersburg, PA which is owned and operated by Vince Tucciarone and Dawn Newman.
We also got a horse named Wasabi in last week from Jim Long. Wasabi who is a son of Rubyiat is a PA bred maiden who will be making his debut this Summer. Wasabi recently was gelded and may also lose his name as Jim has expressed an interest in possibly dumping that name.
Double Edged Sword and Wasabi are training at the Southampton Training Center in Mt Holly, NJ where we have opened up a full division of horses. With a training track, turnout paddocks, a swimming pool, an equivibe machine and eurosizers we have a little more variety in training than just being located on the racetrack. About a 20 minute drive from Parx, it is conveniently located from all the local tracks including Monmouth Park and Delaware Park.
We have been getting steady rain in Ocala for the last few days and as such haven't got much done. Lady Thief and Brad's Kitten are heading North this weekend as we slowly but surely shift our barn.
Albin is finally has a concrete goal, that being a 1 mile 32000 nw2 race on the turf at Tampa Bay Downs on April 20. He has trained really well and should be ready for that spot.
Rochelle Rochelle ran evenly on Monday at Parx as she was trapped down on the worst part of the track and wound up 4th beaten about 7 lengths. Her next start is most likely going to be a return to the grass at Atlantic City on April 29th. Her 4th place finish earned her $1500 which put Rochelle Rochelle over the 30k mark for the year despite not having run a Beyer speed figure of over a 51. Gotta love Parx purses.
Hippocrates Jones was ridiculously far behind the field going down the backside in his return to the races on Monday. Yet he kicked in on the turn and finished well, making up 15 lengths to finish a good closing 5th. He is going to run back on the 18th at Parx and then run over at Atlantic City in any of a number of spots depending on how his next race goes.
Recent gelding Big Shake is scheduled to run at Penn National on April 8th. He needs to start showing a lot more or he is going to be headed down a new career path.
Prospect Knight is most likely going to be running in an allowance race at Parx on April 5th. There is an outside chance he could wind up in either the Wood or Illinois Derby if either race comes up with a short field.
Six Clicks has been perking up after a tough outing last out. If the weather cooperates we will get an easy work under his belt next week.
Mizz Liza has been recovering nicely after her spill a few weeks ago. Her ribcage, which was so sore after falling to the ground and having another filly fall on top of her, has improved to the point where we will soon be putting the saddle back on her.
Beverly's Spirit has really progressed as Christy Rogers and Ashley Eisenbaugh have done a great job of preparing her to be a racehorse. Using a combination of Parelli and Clinton Anderson natural horsemanship techniques, the girls have Beverly going in the right direction. Click here to watch them at work.
Angry Dragon has been getting some lessons from the girls as well before she trains to try to get her to be a tad bit more agreeable. She seems like she is learning and is doing well.
Hemissesu has trained great lately but banged her leg in the stall during a storm we had yesterday and may miss a few days. Been stop and go with her and Red Baroness for 2 months now. Very frustrating but patience is a virtue they say.
Normandruth is a little bored but still is not ready to return to training.
Mr Mojo Risin is really training well. Looking forward to seeing him perform this Summer.
We are going to be sending horses up from Ocala every week and expect to be completely out of Florida by the last week of April.
