She's a great gal - the type of horse that will run all day and night long if you'd let her.
Her second start was really a learning experience for all of us about her - She came out of the first race remarkably well, she had us all believing she was ready 2 weeks later but clearly needed another week or two -my guess the check took a bit out of her. She looked restless in the paddock but broke well, unfortunately when JC took her to the rail, she got spooked a little after her last episode and then tired a bit. Just not a great trip.
Her last out was the turn of foot that I became accustomed to seeing all summer at the training farm. We'll see Sunday in the East View Stakes if she can keep it going!

If it makes ya feel any better, I cashed enough tickets on her 3rd start to make up for the first 2! lol
Hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. It was more of sharing my misery of spotting something decent that would be a bet back, and then FAIL to bet back at the proper time.

Her turn of foot in her debut was really strong, IMO. That move she made was classic and although I don't think she was getting to the winner that day, she showed some real ability.

Best of luck with her in the future. I still have her on my watch list.

Anyone happen to know why Exhale scratched on Sunday December 3rd? Sadler said 2 days prior to the race it was a big race for him and he would be disappointed if Exhale weren't in the Santa Anita Derby in 4 months. Just curious?

Sadler in the DRF that he scratched due to foot problems from training over the cushion track.

*****from the DRF article**********
But Sadler expressed concern that the quick times could be leading to foot problems. He said he scratched Zanzibar from the Underwood and the well-regarded Exhale from a maiden race on Sunday because of foot issues. He said he has been surprised by a few instances of bruised feet.

"I'm seeing feet, and I'm seeing little things," Sadler said. "I still think the track is good, but they've had some issues with maintenance."

Thanks for the info. I actually was told today from a good source that he had some filling in one of his ankles. Hopefully nothing major, but certainly not good timing. Thanks Again.

Gonna Take This One
 
I Will Take This Sleeper As My Current 2 Year Old Horse Of The Future.-----------steelix-------------saw Him At The Obs Sale In June, Super Impressive. Dropped The Jock First Time Out But Led A Good Field Home By About 20 Lengths. Put Him On The Horse To Watch Thread Here Before He Came Back To Toy With The Field Breaking His Maiden In A Big Way. He Runs Again This Sunday So I Am Gonna Grab Him Now Before The Secret Is Out I Hope. Good Luck All.

DAMN TO WIN BY 10 HE MUST BE SPECIAL. I THINK YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT CHOICE THERE!

After a nice debut Exhale is back in training for Sadler. A bit behind schedule but very talented and certainly one to watch for in the next month or so.

Time Squared
 
Time Squared made a strong impression in his first appearance -- $1,050,000 Fusaichi Pegasus colt who finished second in his first outing at Santa Anita on Saturday. (Race 5, Santa Anita 12-30-2006) Settled behind a moderate pace going 1-1/16 miles, switched out in upper stretch and produced sustained response to finish second, beaten a neck. Biancone trains. Leparoux rides. Produced from a stakes-winning full sister to Stephen Got Even.

Welcome Inn, an Orientate running at Delware Park. She has been improving and was impressive in her last even though it was in the slop.
Hats off to 'KRIM' for spotting this filly in October.. She upset Trombetta's nice one (Spectacular Malibu, 2-5) in the MD Filly Championship at Laurel the other day...

Thanks. That was a good, close race. She showed some grit in this one and is turning out to be an extremely useful horse. I love my Orientates!

Entered again today at Tampa Bay Downs in Race 10. . . Haven't capped the race so I don't know his chances but I doubt you'll get the 5-1 ml on him

I like that horse. Another horse that I like that hasn't had a lot of mention is Todd Pletcher's colt Ravel. That is going to be a nice one.

Thanks Mera and Scav. I was as at Delaware the day he broke his maiden and also was there the day Afleet Alex won his maiden in his first start which was impressive. I was more impressed with HS then AA. The funniest thing was HS was 8/1 on the morning line, but he opened up at 2/5. He went off at 7/5 only because they were also betting a well bred/high priced Darley firster who went off at about 2/1 if I remember, an didn't run a step. Hopefully this year we will see another nice 2yo come out of Delaware Park.

saucon17 06-11-2007 10:25 PM
Hammy Smith looks like he has a decent looking 2yo filly by Came Home out of a Dixieland Band mare named My Mammy. She won under a motionless Ramon Dominguez in the stretch. She ran 4 1/2 furlongs in 51.95, which was .15 hundreds off the track record in the slop.

Yes, that filly was very impressive. She's actually a half-sister to Bandini.

Cajungator26 06-12-2007 10:55 AM
There was one that I saw at the last OBS that I really liked. I don't think he's started yet, but his name is Silver Rapids. He's another nice looking Mizzen Mast colt.

And I can't forget the tiny Johannesburg colt that only went for 20k... he was really small, but his half sister is the dam of Carnack's Choice.

Cajungator26 06-12-2007 01:52 PM
Rupert,

Are you going to the sale next week in Ocala? I doubt I'll make it, but I think I'll head up there to watch them under tack this weekend (probably Sunday.) There are a couple of them that I want to see.

TenMostWanted 06-12-2007 02:16 PM
i don't know if she was mentioned already - if she was, sorry -

got bling, 1/2 sister to too much bling, raced at churchill a few weeks ago. threw the jock off at the gate, got up for 2nd [i'm pretty sure.. 2nd or 3rd.. can't remember! one of those days]

Cajungator26 06-29-2007 06:33 PM
Another one to watch:

Loving Vindication (by Vindication.) Finished 2nd as the favorite in the 3rd race at Belmont today.

Nope, I'm definitely not in that contest... if I was, I would be too far back to see. :D

docicu3 07-02-2007 02:51 PM
You want to see a nice 2 year old watch the My Dear 125K at Woodbine(race 6) that just finished. #1 DANCING ALLSTAR was very impressive.......breeding didn't wow me but I'll bet the Mensa types like "Cajun" will tell me why this one was
so far gone.....must have won by a dozen........

I don't know that much about peds (like to research them, though), but it sounds like Terry Jordan really likes this filly:

One of the horses Jordan and Williams are looking forward to seeing run at Woodbine is Dancing Allstar. A 2-year-old filly by Millennium Allstar, Dancing Allstar was a very impressive winner of a 3 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race at Hastings May 6. She is scheduled to run in the $125,000 My Dear Stakes on July 2.

Williams was very pleased with her five-furlong work in 1:01 with Todd Kabel aboard Friday morning.

"I told Todd to go as slow as he could, because she did a little too much in her previous work," said Williams. "He had a pretty good hold of her, and he was very happy with the work. He really likes her."
