Gettin' Up morning to run on Lasix

[Calzone Lord]

Yes -- 1:07 3/5ths for six furlongs despite being left in the gate at the start and making up about 15 to 20 lengths in the final half mile.

It was almost certainly the greatest debut in the history of horse racing.

Jerry Brown of Thoro-Graph and Len Friedman of the Ragozin Sheets were most impressed with how wide he was on the far turn.

I put him on my "watch list" with the comment, "Needs a real jockey (Gary Stevens?)."

I would ride Octavian's sister anyday. I'm not sure what the actual name of that actress is...but I loved her in Rome and she would make a fine mount.

She had no Irish accent...

Kerry Condon?

She didn't break as bad but the race being at the same track and distance it reminded me of Princess Arabella's maiden win.

Indian Charlie loves Princess Arabella so she's probably going to prove as fragile as can be... but I'm not sure she's even one of the 10 best 3yo's in Baffert's operation.

Is the rising star a 2 or 3 yr old ? He kind of reminds one of Mayakovsky's debut when he broke the 5.5 F track record at Spa in ntr103.32 on opening day 2001. Ironically, Mike Tabor owned him and Tony Farina was aboard for his last race.

True enough, though she lost a little luster in my eyes after the second start. I'd like to see her taken back some next time out.

By the way, speaking of fragile, whats the name of that El Prado (I think) filly you went all gaga over a few months ago? I honestly cannot remember the name of that filly. Has she run again?

Sounds like David Milch came up with that incredible performance by combining Gilded Time's career debut at Hollywood Park with his track record performance second time out in the Sapling at Monmouth.

That's right -- Milch owned GT.

I think Gettin' Up Morning ran his 2nd quarter in 20 and change. Now that's turn-time right there.
