5/31 HOL 4: Ghostzapper filly and Madcap Escapade's $1.7MM baby too..
 

Interesting start to the big HollyPark carryover today with a Ghostzapper filly (#1 Ghost Shadow) and the $1,700,000 filly by Pulpit O/O Madcap Escapade (#6 Mi Sueno)...

4th (2:35)

5 Furlongs (All Weather Track) | Fillies | 2 Year Olds Maiden Special Weight | Purse: $46,000

1 Ghost Shadow Baze T C Talbot Shawn 118 5-1
2 Gambling Pokerface Arambula P Coffee Candice 118 L 20-1
3 Magic Yodeler Solis A Harrington Mike 118 L 5-1
4 Rote Smith M E Miller Peter 118 L 5-1
5 Necessary Evil Rosario J O'Neill Doug 118 L 7-2
6 Mi Sueno Garcia M Guillot Eric 118 L 4-1
7 Lena Miss Delgadillo A Stute Melvin F 118 20-1
8 Laura's Pleasure Baze M C Ayers Ral H 118 L 8-1
9 Win for M'lou Valdivia J Jr Sherlock Gary 118 L 9-2

I have to wonder about the #8 Laura's Pleasure who was put up for auction and only nabbed 20k. She's a half to Sea Of Pleasure who set the track record in 2007.

The #7 Lena Miss goes without lasix as does the Ghostzapper filly. Peace Rules has been awesome with firsters and the only foal from the unraced dam wasn't much. This one will be the longshot special if Peace Rules can improve on her sibling's sire (Tactical Advantage).

The #6 Mi Sueno is much too high profile for me to consider and will be a bet against.


# 9 Win for M'lou is the proven commodity and comes out of a nice race where two runners have come back to win.

# 5 Necessary Evil is Rosario, O'Neill and Harlan's Holiday,another awesome sire with firsters. This is the one I would fear most if I left her out.

# 3 Magic Yodeler is a homebred with solid connections and a proven sire and broodmare.# 4 Rote sold for 150k and is very similar as far as the solid connections and breeding. These are the two horses to watch on the board IMO. If either of them is bet down as much or lower than the 5,6 or 9 I believe they will be the winner.

After an exhaustive analysis the only horse I didn't mention will probably win and knock everyone out of the pick 6.

3-4-9-7

It's a a 30k Ghostzapper..must have been a stunning yearly

As anyone actually seen the DRF on this race. O'Neil's horse Necessary Evil looks like the nuts. worked 34.4 from gate three back, and got two maintenance breezes for this race....

Was a 270K March RNA.

Anything out of Madcap Escapade has to be taken seriously on debut .. even for those connections.

Especially if bet.

DrugS what happened with Mad Cap sold for 6 and then was resold for 3?

huh?

Sikura signed the $3.1-million sale ticket for grade I winner Madcap Escapade, who is in foal to A.P. Indy. With the transaction, Sikura said he became the owner of a 50% interest in the 7-year-old daughter of Hennessy out of the stakes-winning Saratoga Six mare Sassy Pants. Bruce Lunsford, a candidate for a Kentucky seat the U.S. Senate, retained the other 50%, according to Sikura.

Before Madcap Escapade went through the sale ring, Sikura and Southern Equine each owned 25% of the mare, so, in essence, Southern Equine’s interest was bought out. Lunsford had sold Madcap Escapade, when she was in foal to Pulpit, at the 2006 Keeneland November breeding stock sale to Sikura’s Hill ‘n’ Dale Bloodstock, agent, for $6 million. Soon afterward, Lunsford bought back a 50% interest in Madcap Escapade and the foal she was carrying.

these were excerpts from a bloodhorse article, just wanted to attribute that to the source...

Necessary Evil
 

I expect she is the goods. Worked 10.1 seconds for an eight under tack at the sale and O'Neil has been en fuego with his 2 year old First time starters.
Although he lost one yesterday. Will have a nice win and place bet on this one.

PSH

Thx I will send this over to the CPA to explain to me..lol

lol
yeah, pretty convoluted. i guess she was sold for six, then lunsford decided he wanted to stay in for half. and the other half was actually two quarters, but is now one half. :zz:

I saw that and used her in my Pick 4. I also used a James Cassidy FTS yesterday that also went 34.4 from the gate (best of 15) that did not run a lick (he was 40-1)

Not bad... New track record !!

I guess the 30k Ghostzapper needed one...

I'm guessing I could find another trainer to take care of my $1,700,000 of horse flesh.

I was pleased with the way Mi Sueno finished. I thought there was no way she was getting up for 2nd at the top of the stretch. The winner also looked good.

The winner looked great.

Mi Sueno looked like she wanted more ground. She gave it a nice stretch run but the winner wasnt getting caught by anyone.
