Great Alabama arrives with $219k C/O in tow

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

Fun afternoon Friday as day-long tension built towards our Dee Tee Stables’ start by Ausable Chasm in the 9th. Things turned out well as the Hook and ladder filly ran a highly encouraging race in her turf debut off a 5 month layoff. Under Shaun Bridgmohan, Ausable finished 7th in the 9 horse agglomeration, beaten less than 3 lengths while wide the whole way. She exited the race in fine shape and could run back before Labor Day if a similar event materializes on the extras.

The rest of the day was largely uneventful frankly, and the intervention of Bwana Babe (3rd), Soinlovewithuam I (5th) and Feel What’s Real (10th) busted up nearly every multi-race play. Caught one decent P3 ($111) that ended with Gitchee Goomie’s Yaddo win as well as a couple exactas, but leaked easily $500 of bankroll on the day.

Big weekend with lots of opportunities ahead however, including Saturday’s $219k double carryover on Alabama Day.. Hope you did OK Friday, and thanks to everyone for their well wishes for ‘Sable’s race! Seth Merrow and I welcome Matt Hegarty, Lenny Shulman and Kenny McPeek this morning on “Loose on the Lead” on Capital OTB-12 if you’re in the region…

1st: NY-ALW/N1X, 3+, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Opportunity may avail itself to go against one or both of the ML choices with Cribnote returning from 1,050 days off and Green Monster going sideways and into cool Margolis barn. Violette the right guy bringing one back, but you have to wonder about Cribnote being gone 3 years. Tough calls..

Big conso, $30 horses boost bankroll; $69k C/O Thursday

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Nice couple of days to start Alabama Week, enjoying a good Wednesday ahead of a great Thursday. P6 try missed just hard-hitting Chernobyl’s Hero in the turf dash 8th, where I tried to slip Romans’ fave Free Brave through as a single. Conso tick produced nice $1,362 return at day’s end, a swell coda to earlier ‘Best Value’ success with $30.40 Sheppard jumper Parker’s Project ($45.50 EXA) and $31.80 Loyal Shadow ($83.25 EXA). Loyal Shadow’s win, authored in part by bug boy Ortiz’ superb ride, was a particular delight given the connections and Dee Tee Stable’s involvement with her 2yo half brother My Pal of Pals (City Zip).

It was a fun Saratoga day from start to finish with Jacinto Vasquez and Charlie Hayward for extended visits on ATR, followed by a boffo day at the windows and dinner at Pennell’s with the Sciacca Family. Hope everyone did well! $69k carryover at Spa and Dee Tee’s enigmatic Ausable Chasm (#10; 30-1) in today’s 9th with Shaun Bridgmohan! ($80k P6 C/O at Del Mar tonight too.)

Happy to have Dee Tee’s Ausable Chasm back in action here, but she certainly seems to have work cut out for herself from the #10 hole and against a good group. She provided the thrill of a lifetime for many Stable partners at Saratoga last August, and has come back around to do well after going astray post-Spa ’10. Turf was always in the plan for her given damsire Comet Shine, so today provides a read on that as well. She’ll be a huge price today and I’ll include her as an exotics booster. Thanks to the partners, Gary, Paul and their crew, and safe trip to ‘Sable and Shaun Bridgmohan!

Alabama Week starts with sun, $38k P6 C/O

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

Wet Monday was a tale of two halves at Saratoga, as first five of the day were largely formful ahead of surprises that generated a $38k P6 carry into Wednesday. Early P4 and a solid $82.75 triple in the 5th keyed by Spina made it a decent afternoon before giving some back on the late quad and in the feature. The Special was annexed by Michael Matz with Union Rags who won off by himself as the field spread out all the way down the stretch. That was the best example of what regularly occurs on sloppy track days as virtually every winner from the 5th-9th, as the ongoing rain made the track as sea of slop, took control of their heat early and wired. Fields in races like Monday’s get strung out as some runners spin their wheels and other hate the splosh. Wednesday sequence features 6 maiden events, and we’ll have to wait and see about the 5 events scheduled for the lawn…

Rain nixes lawn as Spa moves to 2nd half

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Long-promised rain finally arrived Sunday evening and has steadily come down throughout the night. Expecting to be off the turf (3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th) and at least sloppy to start the day. Many scratches anticipated, so I’ll thumbnail the card for now and see about the turf races after ATR (12p)…

P6 carryovers at Spa and Del Mar were highly lucrative Sunday as New York sextet brought back $142k to 2 patrons while just one on-track punter took down the Cali jackpot for $756k on a $2,688 ticket. Winners/contenders at Saratoga were generally identifiable Sunday, but the hits that came were modest and it felt like another ‘treading water’ kind of afternoon. Hope you did well.
