March 2012 Race Recap

On to Churchill Downs!!

Swain's Gold blew us away - along with the field - when he came home on top by 2 1/2 in the G2 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita. $150,000 is our largest purse to date, but we are fervently hope it doesn't stay that way for long. The Downs on the first Saturday in May is Goldie's next stop on the road to glory.

Copacabana didn't do as well as hoped with a next-to-last in the G3 Louisiana Derby May 18. As it's starting to look like he may be a late bloomer, we may be holding him for the Belmont. He'll van with Goldie, but whether he runs is yet to be decided.

Thunder tried gamely in the G2 San Louis Rey, but it was just a bit too soon as he came back dead last and limping. He'll be stepped back in levels after a nice break...no sense breaking down such a nice horse. Watch for him in Late April or May.

Maiden finished in the middle of her 15-starter Allowance field on March 10. PSR=71 at 6.5 furlongs so she will be starting again...just haven't decided when, yet.

 Enigma somehow got lost in the shuffle and hasn't started since January so he's next. Race hasn't been selected, yet, but it should be sometime soon.

Marscay's Princess has yet to arrive and we're beginning to wonder what's keeping her. Maybe a visit to the quaranteen barn is in order? The foals are growing like the little weeds that they are; Sassy still showing her stuff (and her heels) over distance and Prince still being a Royal Pain. Weaning will begin just as soon as we get back from Elmont Park (assuming we make it that far) and it will be a busy Summer all around.
