This will be the first time (outside of Sumwon this past Wednesday) that i will be racing as an owner. Wish us luck. Hopefully she will be competitive. Would be surprised if she won but am hopeful we can get a placing and a decent check to start out.

Paul, that was not a bad debut at all. It looked like she held on for fourth after showing some real interest. The TP shipper was fast and much the best.

She looks to have some real potential and I would guess that she will be visiting the winners circle in the not too distant future. speed gets it done at the mountain.

congrats, she looked good.

Ray thought she ran good. She was great in the saddling area before the race and looked great. She hesitated going in because Ray said the Assistant Starter did not know what he was doing. She broke okay and ran good. Like you said, nothing was going to get to the winner from Turfway Park. Ray said she ran a little green in the stretch and did not switch to her right lead until the 1/16 pole. She did tire at the end which was completely understandable. All in all not a bad effort. Would have liked to pick up that 3rd place check instead of fourth that nose was a little costly....
Would expect her to move forward off of that effort and i was pretty pleased overall.

I like Somebody New (#1) in the 8th. The weight break has to make him a decent play... Any thoughts on anyone to put under the #1 in the Ex or Tri??

Sorry I bailed on you all last night before the 6th race (wish I could have seen your horse run PSH, I liked her well enough to put in the bottom of a trifecta)... I lost power with 1 minute to post - some dumb*ss driver took out a power pole in out neighborhood and I sat in the dark for over 4 hours last night... and I wanted to play Mountaineer

I've got class tonight but I'll be back Tuesday... chat with you then!
