Week 1
GHF's Next Top Racehorse - R8* - P 9F Tsunfrost win Frosted Sunrise place Golden Envoy show One Might Wonder fourth Handsome Loon DQ: Cultural Passion (was already entered in a prospect race at TW; I judged that one first, so I will DQ her from here.) Over the Rainbow Stakes - G5 8F D isa FIRST Realeza SECOND Katana THIRD Tears of the Sun FOURTH Over Time Lucky Penny Stakes - G5 8F Tcruisey WIN Fever Pitch place Passionist Celery Stakes - G4 7F Tender WIN Ruling Restraint PLACE Spirit of Liberty SHOW Ephermeral FOURTH Dudley's Girl Shanghai Cup - G4 7F Dripley Win. Blue Moon Place. Shady Biscuit Show. Vibe 4th. Tell Me A Fable Tell Me A Fable: He just needs to get back into racing shape again. I hope you race him consistently because he always promised to be a nice horse. Fabulous Stakes- G3 8F Tender WIN Shatter PLACE Silent Front SHOW Lawless Silent Front and Lawless seem to like the longer distances. Ocean Cup - G3 8F D Kenren WIN Celestia PLACE Incitatus SHOW Risky Business Earth Stakes - G2 6F Disa FIRST Rough Diamond SECOND Sugar Rush THIRD Flashing the Declaration Lion Stakes - G2 6F TGate One:Beauty Cup - G1 10F T FGate One: National TreasureGlory Stakes - G1 10F Dsammy WIN: Radiant Silver PLACE: Night Visions FLASHY WINGS MEMORIAL STAKES* - G1 11F D 3YOS+kenren WIN Fleet Street PLACE Barely Smokin SHOW Black Thriller fourth Tiger Heart fifth Ultimate Revenge I had to really nitpick to separate the top four... but at the end of the day, I had to go with the fact that Tiger Heart's "strength of schedule", as it were, is not quite as impressive as the other three. This is a BC-quality field, which is super exciting! LUCKY DAY FUTURITY* - G5+ 8F D 2YO Kenren WIN Foxy Passion PLACE Kallisto SHOW Authentic Aura fourth Sweet Dreams GOLDEN DAY FUTURITY* - G5+ 8F T 2YOsammy WIN: Final Velocity PLACE: Wayward Lass SHOW: Terminus 4th: Wings of Angels THE HANDSOME MILE* - G4+ 8F D 3YOisa FIRST Rise Me Gold SECOND Hysteria THIRD Pele's Wrath DQ Kindly Enough ran at TW. ROSE MILE CUP* - G4+ 8F T 3YOsunfrost win Flawless Majesty place Storm Warning show Eternally Smoldering fourth Monstrosity Flawless Majesty proved his miler worth once more, coming off the Lure Green Mile with a plan in mind for getting this win locked down. I'm happy to see him in more races again! Storm Warning just managed to outfoot Eternally Smoldering at the wire, showing some sprinter speed in locking second place down. Eternally Smoldering strikes me as a horse that is more comfortable at the classic distances at the moment, though of course that could change. Against the top two, he was no match at this distance yet. Monstrosity is actually a very nice colt who strikes me as an up-and-coming type. I'd continue to build that record in undercards with a dip or two into HoTY company every now and then, and you should have a solid HoTY competitor in time for next year, if not sooner. SHINING STAKES** - G5+ 5F D 3YO F TRIPLE SPRINTER TIARA ripley Win. Liberated Treasure Place. Dauntless Show. Spirit Of The Angel (Dirt-OKay, result should be kept) TICK TOCK SPRINT** - G5+ 5F D 3YO TRIPLE SPRINTER CROWNripley Win. Gambling Fortune Place. Pied Piper Show. Toss Up (6-9F) Pied Piper and Toss Up went head and head for the first four furlongs, blitzing through a first quarter in :21 3/5. The scorching fractions caught Toss Up by surprise as he isn't big on running anything shorter than 6 furlongs. Gambling Fortune found the fractions and set up to his liking, gunning by the leaders in the stretch to win by 2 3/4 lengths. Next race should be interesting when the race stretches out to 6F into Toss Up's wheelhouse. |

Week 2
August Maiden Dirt - M 12F Dwin Englishman place True Speed show Furious By Nature So nice to see Furious By Nature again XD August Maiden Turf - M 12F Twin Beneficence place Bizarre Redemption August Turf Stakes – G5+G4+G3 5F T NW2 HOTYGate One:August Dirt Stakes – G5+G4+G3 5F D NW2 HOTYwin Sophie's Harmony place Fading Embers August Juvenile Turf Faceoff - 5F T 2yoWin. Viva Fever Place. Gladiator Show. Waldemar August Juvenile Dirt Faceoff - 5F D 2yoWIN Turbocharged PLACE Hidden Scheme (6-9) I know the distance is wrong, but I'd keep the result anyway. ANODYNE MEMORIAL STAKES* - G2+ 10.5F T 4YOS+FIRST Like A Lady SECOND Lissome THIRD Fire It Up FOURTH Altercation RACING POST TROPHY* - G5 8F T 2YOWIN Truly Something PLACE Pure Innocence show True Sunrise GREEN POST TROPHY* - G5 8F D 2YOWIN. Truly Limitless PLACE. Devilish Fox DQ: Chocolatier (G4) DQ: Tortuga (9-12F) Truly Limitless: I think you could easily stretch her out and make the most of different distance opportunities. She is a tough filly and I think she has a whole lot of potential. Keeping her at sprints will make stretching out in later years a tad difficult. DAISY STAKES** - G5+ 6F T F 3YO F TURF TRIPLE SPRINTER TIARAFIRST Game Over SECOND Wings of Jayde THIRD Witching Hour (whisker) FOURTH Moonstorm I always focus on overall quality and consistency in racing as most important in these top races, and Game Over and Wings of Jayde were definitely first and second. Game Over does very well at this furlong, I see Wings excelling at 5 and 7 particularly. I had a hard time separating Witching Hour and Moonstorm. While I favor Moonstorms added experience, Witching Hour has more top ended quality, where Moonstorm is still pushing to get more in the money finishes in HOTY. HIGHWAY STAKES** - G5+ 6F T 3YO TURF TRIPLE SPRINTER CROWNWin. Faded Dreams Place. Amaris Show. Seattle Lightning Fourth. Kosoku |

However, a few months off seemed to be exactly what the filly needed to get a fresh start and jump right back into the fray with a winning edge.

Week 4
AUTUMN CUP GRADE FIVE DIRT SPRINT* - G5 6F Dwin Devilish Fox place Hellagood show Super Cat AUTUMN CUP GRADE FIVE TURF SPRINT* - G5 6F Twin WhattaTwist place Gladiator show Rebound fourth Lux Aeterna I really like all of the horses in this field. Not an easy race to judge. I thought WhattaTwist would step up today following her last outing. AUTUMN CUP GRADE FIVE DIRT* - G5 10F Dwin Bayahibe place Winter Soldier show Englishman fourth Louisiana Blues I wish I could place everybody in the top three! Louisiana Blues is a gorgeous filly, but Englishman was coming in hot from his maiden win and just managed to get her at the wire. AUTUMN CUP GRADE FIVE TURF* - G5 10F TWIN Fever Pitch (nose) PLACE Chasing the Sun SHOW Piece of Me AUTUMN CUP GRADE FOUR DIRT SPRINT* - G4 6F DGate One: Blue MoonAUTUMN CUP GRADE FOUR TURF SPRINT* - G4 6F Twin Final Judgment place Miss Abilene show Viva Fever AUTUMN CUP GRADE FOUR DIRT* - G4 10F DWIN: Persian Virtue PLACE: Italian Beauty SHOW: Soaring Passion Lolly, I am IN LOVE with this mare! Will her season winning streak be tested? It really was today. She held off the gray filly, who was strong on her flank. Isa, she is gettng stronger each and every outing. Keep her in HOTY runs. She is more than ready for it. Soaring Passion was making his final run, as well. This was a wonderful trio of strong horses. AUTUMN CUP GRADE FOUR TURF* - G4 10F TFIRST Grisaille SECOND Vibe THIRD Samaritan Hero AUTUMN CUP GRADE THREE DIRT SPRINT* - G3 6F DGate One: Risky BusinessAUTUMN CUP GRADE THREE TURF SPRINT* - G3 6F TWIN: Storm Warning (neck) PLACE: Risky Business When did Storm Warning get so gorgeous?! Y'all need to customize some pics for me! Jus sayin! Two wonderful 3 year old colts. Walter was the wire to wire finisher. Rizz never let up at all. He held on the entire run. AUTUMN CUP GRADE THREE DIRT* - G3 10F Dwin Like a Lioness place Hurricane show Partyatthedisco AUTUMN CUP GRADE THREE TURF* - G3 10F Twin Wire Tap place Get Loose show Incineration Incineration is such an awesome filly and I'm so happy to see her back running! I thought that the other two have been doing well enough to have the edge on her, but I think that with some more consistent placings she'll be back on track. AUTUMN CUP GRADE TWO DIRT SPRINT* - G2 6F DGate One: Dark MaidenAUTUMN CUP GRADE TWO TURF SPRINT* - G2 6F TWIN Blue Heroine PLACE Winged Pegasus AUTUMN CUP GRADE TWO DIRT* - G2 10F Dwin Roses Rampant place Hysteria show Gold Rush 4th My Remedy This was a case where growing form and back class played to the younger horses today. Nothing wrong with My Remedy, but these were hardened three year olds hungry for this race and it played in their favor. AUTUMN CUP GRADE TWO TURF* - G2 10F TWIN Fire It Up PLACE Sweet Mimosa SHOW Altercation fourth Fantasy Island AUTUMN CUP GRADE ONE DIRT SPRINT* - G1 6F DWin. Chatoyant Place. Ares Show.
