"Pity the Fool"

Regular readers of this blog know that I have nicknames for all of our horses. Previously, I have referred to Tytus as simply "T". After today's effort, we should be calling him "Mr. T". While pulling away to a 5+ length victory, he set a track record. No horse in the 82-year history of Tampa Bay Downs has run a faster 6.5 furlong race. Visit Tampa's website to watch the replay and/or read the press release about the record.

As far as yesterday's race is concerned, I thought Miltos ran a great race. After chasing a fast pace, she was able to hang on for third while battling Starlet Sky in the stretch. All things considered, it was a very encouraging effort.

Not all news was good this week. We claimed a horse in Miami on Monday - Love Divine ($16k split 3 ways). She ran poorly on Monday and it looks like she has a few physical issues. As such, we will have to be very aggressive with her to minimize our loss exposure.

Next Race: We are done racing in 2007 - it was a great year! (full summary for the quarter and year will be sent out in mid-January). We'll be entering Dawn Raider for a race next Friday. Our first race in 2008 will mark the deadline for additional purchases of Web's Gems shares or redemption requests. Right now, it looks like the price per share will be approximately $12.
