Zardana

[The Bid]

That's good work on zardana. She was so highly regarded coming over that she almost sent me off a bridge on more than one occasion. She will be a major factor off the paper mâché

I remember one of my most annoying butcher jobs as a gambler came on a turf horse named Ay Caramba (sp?) that Eduardo Camaroni trained.

He beat Leroidesanmeaux by 3 lengths in some turf race at Gavea in Leroy's final start in Brazil.

After that race, Leroy went to Bobby Frankel and had won like 4 straight races in awesome style - the latest was a course record or near course record win in the Inglewood.

Ay Caramba was entered in some dogsh!t turf stakes race at a mile at Mountaineer - and was like 20/1 on the ML. He couldn't possibly lose off of his Gavea form.

Naturally he scratches ... a few days later he wins an allowance race on the turf at Churchill by about 3 lengths - goes off at about 9/2 - and I somehow missed that he was entered.

That Ay Carmaba horse ended up being a graded stakes winner over here.

Pico Central also hooked up in a turf race at Gavea against Hard Buck

Hard Buck was the blah horse of McPeak's who he took to Ascot for the King Geroge and QE Diamond and somehow got to run 2nd. He also ran 2nd in Dubai with him.

There's another interesting piece of trivia about Ay Caramba. Anyone know?

I have no idea at all... but if anyone is interested ... here's his and Leroy's forms.

I'm 99.99% sure that stake he was entered in at Mountaineer was on July 4th.

Both of them ran F'ing awful on the dirt at Gavea.

I scored pretty big on that Ay Caramba at Monmouth in the stake. He crushed some pretty good horses in those classified allowance races at CD and for whatever reason they let him drift up. I think Hotstuffandthensome was the favorite and the track recordholder or something.

Good call Doug, Zardana is a funny horse....**** she won for McAnnaly how bad can she be?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

And won a stakes race with Aaron Gryder up on her 3rd best surface no less!

I just wish I had a better gauge of how good those older ALW males at Gavea might be.

In hindsight, awesome race horses like Riboletta, Pico Centrel, and Leroidesanmeaux don't come from places "somewhere between Beulah Park and Penn National" .. and even assuming they did, Zardana's 2yo dirt speed figures in Brazil would be good enough to win Grade 1's in the USA.

She's a nice little dirt horse - and Shirriffs is leathal when pointing for a spot. They really laid the sausage deep into Asmussen's anal cavity today.
