Another Midnight Lute that might be worth following is Wasted at Midnight, fifth in her debut at Del Mar on August 5. She was squeezed back at the start, fanned four or five wide into the stretch, and then came running late to finish fifth, beaten about two lengths, in a 5.5F dash won by the Proctor-trained Ponchatrain (War Front). Wasted at Midnight was a $150K Barretts 2YO and is trained by Alexis Barba.

Word was out on this horse because of workout reports, was said to be working huge and I think the trip is noticable. Should be a good horse but next out will probably be a severe underlay IMO.

The fact that this horse is being trained by Alexis "The Butcher" Barba (my opinion), leads me to believe it's going to be a bumpy road, with much unfulfilled potential when all is said and done. But I could be wrong.

I thought Todd had already patented that nickname.

Anyone have any thoughts on her win yesterday in the Sharp Cat?

Shakin It Up was a nice MSW winner at Hollywood on Oct 27 for Baffert/Pegram.
