Horse Racing questions and answers

[JBEX]

hey str

fairgrounds R5 @ 3:45..#6 julia's warrior (8-1) realize I like doing this and you may not agree it's meaningful..whenever this horse combined lengths behind last 2 calls is between 10-15 and he returns in the same amount of days (10-15) he's 2 for 2 (fact days and lengths is the same just a coincidence and has no relevancy to me) ..one other time (16d/13.5L) he cut back and just missed by a half length but I don't like that move .. he followed up that ,albeit off a 2 month layoff with a convincing win in a sprint

doing the same thing today and returning to the level of the claim ..also nicely in the middle time and lengths behind at 13 for both..curious what you think

only way this horse makes this condition i believe is if one of his first 2 wins was for a $5k or less tag

also thought you'd get a kick out of #7 reckless ransom..12 years old and an amazing record over that time ..great year in 2024..obviously this one has been very well managed by at least a good majority of the one's who have claimed him..I don't think he's a bad fit at all 2nd off short layoff


if you're busy no problem;it's a write-up for the race

mine out of money @ 12-1..the easy winner @ 1-5 won his last start by almost 8L in a clm 20kn3l and ran here for clm 7.5k n4l..my guess they were just trying to recover as much as they could off the expensive claim at oaklawn 4 back and this explains the big drop in class along with the quick return ..sure they weren't surprised they lost him to the claim

Did you use Batts horse Sweet Voyage?

Off the double drop, two turns which equals slower horses for maiden claimers usually. She was live.

Unfortunately no. Been consumed with Stocks last few days.

Congratulations! Sweet Voyage dominated this evening at Turfway Park to break her maiden. She was NOT claimed.
Away on top, your filly found herself in a perfect spot in third early behind a pair of dueling leaders. She ranged up ominously entering the turn for home, cruised to the lead approaching the stretch and poured it on from there to win convincingly despite struggling with her leads.
Sweet Voyage clearly appreciated the added ground, and while the competition this time was admittedly not the strongest, hopefully she can build on today’s run moving forward

That's great Batt. Congratulations. She just needed to find her level. They did a good job doing that.

Straight no chaser made it! Pretty cool video clip and shows some behind the scenes stuff.

along with your ownership interest be nice to have another LM (caldera)for the sire future bet ..baffert's will be tough also(another sire future) and my other would be ww's #8 touchy ..think he's going to really have to step up his game as imo this is a solid field ..even a good effort,short of a win,would be a positive going forward





.

I agree 100%! Always rooting for our sire bets!

Very nice. The camera person was better but still trying to watch and record. Lol. Hard to do both.

Nice easy work. Looks great. Worked him with Blinkers. That's interesting. Probably just getting him used to the new equipment change. You don't see that all that much. But he's the coach for a reason right?

Haha yes better with the camera today!

This is all exactly correct from my point of view JBEX. 5 1/2 F. in mid summer as a baby is one thing. 5 1/2 as a 3 yr. old is another. It is a red flag in my eyes . Same with the blinkers as a firster.
It would be great to see a totally different effort next time. I hope that can occur. We'll see.

will keep an eye out

Thank you for that. We do need to see the whole picture. And while all of them cant be stars, the one constant is the efforts that always seem to be there. That is very commendable. You don't see it to the degree all the AM's seem to display it very often.

yes all efforts should be acknowledged..I think this one needs a drop to a level 3 track..consider parx a level 2..penn,charlestown etc ..maybe even presque isle as the AM's seem to run ok on artificial surfaces..interesting to see if that's where he winds up eventually

Straight No Chaser bounced out of yesterday’s work in great order and remains scheduled to ship tomorrow. Since he will have the next few days off of training, Dan opted to send Straight No Chaser back to the track this morning to jog. Click here to read today's TDN article on our Champion.

Looks good. Love seeing the Bellboots. Those rubber circles around the front feet. For those that don't know, they are there to protect against the back hoofs overextending and the back toe grabs of the shoes hitting the back bulbs of the front heels and tearing a layer of skin off.
That often happens if the horse is really felling good and full of himself and maybe jumping around somewhat with pent up energy.
It's like tearing a fingernail or skinning your thumb right at the tip of the thumbnail. Hurts like crazy when something touches it for a couple days until it toughens up. Smart move from a smart trainer.
