Busy Day

Let's start with Dawn Raider. After a long night of rain, the turf was very wet and soft. Paul said that Raider didn't like the footing one bit. That and a pretty tough field resulted in a even effort (5th place).

It was an interesting day in the clam box. In the third race of the day, we put the $$ from Stage Glitter to work and bought a horse (split 2 ways) for $25k. The horse's name is Tytus - he won today's race in a very fast time. "T" is a 3-year gelding who has now raced 9 times (3 wins and 2 seconds).

Then, in the tenth race, we claimed a familiar face - Unreal General. "General" spent the first part of the year in Jamie's barn (Dan K. was the owner). He dropped in today for a $4k tag and we split the horse 3 ways with Jamie and Dan. Given the familiarity, this was a pretty low-risk claim.

Both horses seemed to check out fine physically after their races. We may not be done for the weekend. After Wayuphi's race tomorrow, we're going to take a long look at a few racing later in the day. Stay tuned....
