by army mule ..friday oak R7 #2 airborne elite (15-1) @ 4:56

imo one of the most interesting AM pp's we've looked at..one thing sticks out right away which you'll see immediately but I see a few others besides ..come back more to it later or tomorrow

Just sat down to look and noticed he was scratched.

would have quote boxed you also batt

" Thanks! hopefully I will have time to delve a litter deeper! "

but still can't do multiples


popular at the claim box ..last 3 and 1 other time in only 8 starts..even effort in debut as a 3yo fine and I think the slow break from the rail/even effort (towards the back) vs the tough msw turf sprint at churchill set him up nice for the dominant mcl win at kee in start 3 .. then close to the front at quarter, falls back and comes again in the stretch to finish 3rd

off for almost a year .. can understand the winter but guess must have been some issue(s) ? starting at 2nd layoff all good efforts..close 3rd,2nd and slow start troubled trip in his last .. still ran a respectable mid- pack race in spite of this

this is a talented, lightly raced horse who is in the hands of a very solid trainer and don't think he's overmatched here .. under the race conditions he's not up for sale and off his dominant performance at kee last year think there's a good chance he'll be running there in his next start
..that meet opens 2 weeks from today

Hope this comes through...

Isle Blue Update



Isle Blue received the green light to start back up in training at Two Springs in Ocala after receiving 60 days from her surgery. She is in her first week of jogging and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on out for your daughter of Speightstown.

some updates on my other horses... boy I sure do miss early training hours watching horses grow up STR.....
Munny Problem Update



Munny Problem continues to progress in his training at Wavertree Stables and is expected to breeze in the coming days. We had the opportunity to check in on your colt this past week while in Ocala for the OBS March sale. He’s a big, strong colt that carries plenty of flesh, which is common for offspring of Munnings. With additional training, he should continue to shape up physically.

We will hopefully have video of his breeze this week and will follow up with that content later this week.

yup..well one of the advantages of following is you look at things more closely afterwards ..what's interesting about a sire at AM stage (which I've never done before) is you'll get a wide sampling of runners but at the same time not enough to be an overwhelming task to keep track of ..this sire's offspring you'll always give at minimum a few shots to see if the horse is a runner

For sure!

[JBEX]

I agree , By just looking at the charts you would have thought he ran even
around the track.

[batt33]

maybe from a betting perspective this is actually a good thing .. we like the sire so displaying a trace of potential in debut is enough to stay interested for at least a few more starts

so there were some signs of life and of course must factor in the break..I liked the speed pedigree on the bottom but the trainer isn't good first out and works were not exactly fast .. possibly needed one and a good follow up horse as surely be some value to be had next out

After missing the start he was making a nice midrace move and took up hard, but still re engaged and just got tired at the end.

I wish I could have seen the head on shot to see what the Jockey was trying to do...

@ 2:45

first time starter..
army mule and the dam's sire both speed influences..rail at fairgrounds is very good and a very unexceptional field imo

as for the by army mule , california burrito (#3 @ 7-2) in the jeff ruby stakes at turfway on saturday (their final derby prep race) I have no opinion and will just be rooting..be really nice to have one running in the ky derby for the first time..even a 3rd place finish would probably give him enough points but in that scenario might depend on the type of race he runs

you did better than me.. I read the instructions and still can't figure it out ..have to work on it

[batt33]

I like his chances here batt..hopefully birdie rose and take shape hook up and you sit a nice trip .. the way he ran in that sprint 2 back is a nice set up for stretching out imo so I give that one extra credit vs just needing a race off the layoff ..love the sire/ dam sire combo for artificial because both of them can get a really good horse on turf or dirt

I think she is live in there as well Batt. Agree with getting an honest pace early and allowing her to settle and finish.
I would like to see the 2 AE’s not draw in.
