what a roller coaster ride owning this horse is. i just got back to syracuse after watching lightning prince destroy the field of 15k condition claimers at saratoga.this was his 5th win in his last 8 starts and first time back at saratoga since june. last week at pocono in a 20k claimer he finished last. but this week he coasted to an 8 length win with the best driver at saratoga dan cappello jr doing a great job.

back to vernon sat night 8/28. the best driver josh marks (drove prince on 8/2 and set new lifetime mark of 1:51.2 and won by a large margin) is not available. so claude huckabone III is driving(drove prince to 5 wins ...3 before the claim and 2 for me). class is the open(the best at vernon downs). vernon combined open 1 and open 2 for a purse of 9k. very tough race against open company pacers ... lightning prince race 6 #4. only 7 horses in the race and top 5 get checks so.....his times are competitive but when he wins, he gets his own way and he gets brave on the lead and wins. saturday night he will be up against the best without the best driver in the race.

Prince goes to Mohawk and wins. After finishing last against open class 2 at vernon I decided to send him up north for the rest of the year. He will be racing in nw2(18k purse),nw3(20k) and nw4 (22k) until he turns 6 yrs old. I did not get any support from anybody at Vernon "he's only a 5 claimer", "he won't make any money up there" "you'll be back in a month broke" etc etc etc. Well he wired the field on Monday night with Randy Waples driving in 1:53 and paid $21.40. He beat a nice Casie Coleman 3-yr old who was bet down to 1-2. I want to thank my trainers Joe and his daughter Jennifer Sansone for a great job caring for Prince and the 5 wins in ten starts while he was racing in the U.S. But now the new trainer is Canadian Rheal Bourgeois and his daughter Nicky and after spending all day last monday with them I feel very confident that Lightning Prince will be sending lightning bolts at the Mohawk horses for the rest of the year.

Saratoga harness opens tonight . FINALLY. Although starting purses will be 10% lower this year to start I am hopeful of an increase back to last years levels soon. Prince is in to go Saturday night in the 8th race, post 5. he is very sharp and fresh right now, but may need a start. The rest of the field have all been racing at Yonkers this year.
