Cornhusker Pride

This will be probably be the first and last time I write these words - we claimed a horse bred in Nebraska. Blumin Won is a 6-year old gelding born and raised in the Cornhusker state. He ran second last night to the odds-on favorite and at the minumin should be competitive back in the same race ($5k, N4L). However, I think his better races may come on the turf and we could be able to compete at the $7500 level if he proves to be "reasonably" healthy. The air quotes are appropriate here because no horses available for the price we paid ($5k) are what I would deem healthy. This one in particular had a long layoff in the last couple years that would suggest he had a significant injury at some point. The hope is that he has recovered enough to give us a few races and allow us at least a chance to break even.
