Sky Pegasus
Hey all,
Just wanted to say an online friend of mine, Laurie McDowell, has a horse named Sky Pegasus running for the first time in a maiden special weight at Laurel on Sunday in the 7th. It's 5 1/2 furlongs but she doesn't really figure he's a sprinter. Does anybody have thoughts on how they think he'll do and will any of you be watching the Laurel races that day? I'd love to hear how you think he looked since those of us that know her on this other board have followed Sky Pegasus since day 1 of her ownership and we're all kinda biased proud aunts and uncles. Here's the pedigree: http://www.pedigreequery.com/sky+pegasus He's by Fusaichi Pegasus out of Sky Legend by Deputy Minister. His second dam is Sky Beauty.

I have been following him and plan on recording the race, I wont be able to see it live. He's from one of the best families in the game and I hope he does well. I haven't seen the pp's for the race but might be able to download them tonight.

How'd he look?
He finished 9th but apparently looked around like nobody's business per the jockey. But he was smart, see. He said 'getting hit in the face with a bunch of dirt is for the birds and if I drop back and conserve myself no dirt! I'm a frickin' genius!' Laurie said she's figuring it's a matter of getting him up to running in 2 turns because Laurel doesn't do 1 1/16 or whatever it was she'd rather enter him in so it might be 7 furlongs next. He gets a fire under him in company so she's hesitant to do the blinkers thing. Also he's apparently a typical temperamental FuPeg when it comes to exactly what constitutes listening to what people tell him to do.

Laurel is such a goofy track. Where else are there two finish lines: one for mile races, and one for everything else?

Incidentally, Sky Pegasus must have something incredibly amiss - or everybody just completely missed the boat - for him to go for $10k at the FT Mid-Atlantic auction of all places. I'd love to see a photo of the old boy.

Quote:
Fairgrounds (and possibly KEE) used to have such an arrangement. Oaklawn does as well. It's not that uncommon. I'll probably see Sky's race. I haven't had a chance to look over the pp's yet.
