An Angel In The Barn

On opening night at Canterbury, we made the first claim of the season. We bought the winner of race 3 - a 4 year old filly named Afleetmovinangel. Friday night's win was the second of her career so we have a few conditions to run through.

"Angel" is a distant relative of one of my favorite horses ever to run an Canterbury - Afleet Angel and she is the daughter of Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner - Afleet Alex. For those with access to Saturday's Star Tribune, her picture is plastered on the back page of the Sports section.

Ready to Thrill is ready for a race - hopefully, we find a race for him next weekend.

Decent upside with this claim -- solid dam & the 2nd dam produced Codex -- very good Tartan Farms family -- nice grinding multi-surface stretch out type. Good luck with this $5K gal.
