Spanish Chestnut

Muddy Halo
Big Squeeze
Hemingway's Key

Anyone?

Hemingway's Key = I remember seeing him at Tampa Bay Downs a few months back. Maybe we will see him at Beulah or River Downs next

Ouch!

Forgot to add We Can Seek....

Spanish Chestnut continues to get stomped every month or two in stakes races. He must really look terrible working on the turf, because you'd think they'd try him as a turf miler by now with that pedigree.

Formblog over at DRF has Dan Illman saying this:

I'm fairly certain that...Scrappy T [was] retired after [an] aborted comeback. Spanish Chestnut hasn't worked since last year, and has probably been retired.

Scrappy T was not retired. He injured a gluteal muscle working 34 flat in his first work under a tiny exercise rider. Scrappy is a very tough handful of 17.2 hands!
He's been at a rehab/training facility in KY. but has not been officially retired.

Hey! Neat trick.. You're on television RIGHT NOW!

17.2 hands? That can't be true.

I saw him at AQU for the Wood Memorial, stood right next to him. He was a solid 17hh then as a very early 3yo. I'm 5'8 and couldn't see over him.
I was told that by late last year he was over 17.1 and I believe the person who told me.

Steve, you know I have all kinds of "powers!"

Welcome back, Scrappy T.

I can remember reading that he is being pointed to the Strubs.

What about Officer Rocket?

I think he was eased in his last start, one of those minor three year old Derbies.

All derbies are for 3 year olds.

Yes...could you tell us which one???

I guess this is as good a place as any, but there was a claimer in Suffolk Downs name was Go Bam Bam Go. Also another from I believe mountaineer by the name TornadoWarning. Does any one know anything about them? Im talking 2001-2005 both tracks...thanks...

What?

Was that the Ohio Derby?

I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.

Sorry.

What Derby... you know, three year old stake.

If there are any Keyed Entry fans, he finally had a workout today.....

Supposed to be returning soon to the races, if he runs another clunker...straight to the breeding shed.

Pino listed on two of them... wonder if Scrappy T will run...

What ever happened to Brilliant?

I got hurt in a race. For some reason I think it was at SAR. I remember parking my car near the racing museum and realizing I was behind Neil Howard who was talking on the phone about a horse who had come back off. I'm pretty sure it was the yearling sale I was going to, meaning it must have been a Spa race.

I think it was the Fourstardave early in the meet.

Has anyone heard anythign about Wonder Lady Anne L lately?

Speaking of being AWOL, one of my favorite 3-year olds from last year had his first workout in a long, long time.

MMSC,

What ever happen to Sierra Sweetie?

Haven't heard that name in a long time.

I just looked around.... can't find anything though. Sorry.

If i ever do, I'll post it.

Thanks. I just saw where Bai and Bai is running in the Foster City this weekend. I rememeber BB and Serria Sweetie bumping heads a few times earlier in their careers.

Pedigree Query has SS listed as having 4 wins and 3 seconds from 7 starts.
