Stardom Bound
 

She cost $375,000 at the OBS March 2 year old sale as Hip 440. She worked at the sale 3 Furlongs in 33.3. Wow! Also has a series of quick works on her tab including a 59.0H and 46.6 H. Hope to get 5-2 on her.

The other filly who looks good in here is also a firster named Montana Fields a Pulpit filly trained by Hollendorfer who has worked a 59.0HG and 46.4HG.

Damn
 

that slow start just cost me big time.
Those are the ones that hurt...

PSH

Ahhhhhhhh!
 

He broke dead last, closes like a tornado! I gotta see this freakin photo, it looked like he got there. They're calling the 1 horse inside, if Stardom Bound lost it's by a half a nostril! I had a $21 p3 play, that would have paid
$642 :(

blame that moron mike smith..:zz: :wf

Damn him! :D Had the horse breaking like Evening Attire usually does, until yesterday of course.

whats even more painful is you got 4-1 on her, not going to get anything near that next time out...

You got that right, price takes a nose dive next time out.

Brad Free talked aobut this horse couple of days ago i was stunned when i saw that she was 4-1 i put the bet in before i left and had that 1,5,10 over her so it worked out well for me surprised the ex paid that much. Haven't seen the race but from reading the chart looks like she closed like a freight train and your right next race no way is she anywhere near 4-1 i honestly expected her to go off around 9/5 or 2-1 just bc of all the hype ive been reading about her. Glad to see that she showed up and ran a good race

Surprisingly the photo is not even close as the 1 broke the wire by at least a full nose. Cal Racing has it up now for those interested.

You can't be looking at the right photo. He lost by a buger, that way very close.

Stardom Bound ran his final 1/16th of a mile in about 5 seconds. That is pretty amazing. He must have run his final 1/8th of a mile in about 10 seconds. That is unheard of for practically any horse, let alone a 2 year old.

However, you can't compare this to regular dirt. Polytrack plays more like grass when it comes to being able to run fast final 1/8ths and quarters.

Did you mean "booger"? :D

Tamatoe Tomato

Some mexican kid called me a tomato at the pool this morning :)

Adios :)

Goes Wednesday in the Sorrento 7th race. They have really high hopes for this one.

You might get a decent price here in this G3 for two year fillies. The extra distance may be to her liking judging by how she finished the debut.

If she......
 

Wouldn't have broke slow and spotted the field a few lenghts, I feel like she would have run them off their feet. She breaks well tomorrow, she could crush even though alot of these phillies have bright futures. Mike Smith better not sleepwalk her out of there once again.

Doc, you may have a point here with the field and she hasn't even run a race but my concerns odds wise is that people will watch replay and think that the extra distance is what she needs thus i hate to say but im thinking 5/2? hope she runs good as im impressed with her first race.

You watch that replay and can't help but think she's a lock if healthy especially since that distance at Del Mar has been all about late commers....5/2 would be a gift after watching a bunch film on the others.

Exacta box Stardom Bound with Evita Argentina :$:

Good call
 

Also had the exacta box which saved me from another disappointing second by Stardom Bound. Smith should have known this time around to not let her get away slowly like her debut. Thankfully, she got up for second for a very nice exacta which made the race profitable. Obviously need for her to get more focused out of the gate (new rider who can get her out) ...

PSH

Very nice call which I too got a piece of after seeing her replay from her last where she closed almost as well as SB. I would have been happier if the 7 had stayed up but a few bucks for the kitty and another lesson for the noodle as the pattern holds where the speed fizzles at Del Mar when the longer sprints, 6.5 and up, are the distance.

All in all a reasonable reward for reasonable work on this card...

Stardom Bound kicked by pony
By Brad Free

ARCADIA, Calif. – Stardom Bound’s participation in the Grade 1 Oak Leaf Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita was in doubt Friday morning after the 2-year-old filly was kicked by a pony after a morning gallop. X-rays were pending.

The electrifying winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante in her most recent start, Stardom Bound was expected to start favored in the Oak Leaf. But trainer Chris Paasch said she was kicked by a pony coming off the Santa Anita track, and was being X-rayed late Friday morning.

She was kicked on the inside of the right leg.

“It won’t require stitches, but it’s so close to the joint that we are concerned,” Paasch said. “If she’s not 100 percent, I will not run her.”

Paasch said results of the X-ray would be known Friday afternoon. Owned by Charles Cono, Stardom Bound won the Debutante by more than four lengths and was widely considered the top 2-year-old in California and a leading candidate for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Touted this one before she ever ran. This is one special horse!!

That is indeed a nice pre-debut call by you.
Granted she was a $375,000 purchase, so it stood to reason that there was something there, but still.....not a bad call picking a Tapit filly that was sent off at 4/1 in her debut, and having her perform in this manner. Nice work.

I'm so happy for SB and for her connections - what a way for Mr. Cono and Mr. Paasch (sorry, I'm sure I spelled his name wrong) to go out. SB looked like she was shot out of a cannon - I thought maybe Mike moved too soon, but hey - if the horse wants to go, you let her go. What a sweet day for Tapit - a 3rd and a 1st in the Breeders Cup and his first champion.
