Rolling out the Big Guns


Union Jack, Nova, and Big Easy will all make their 2009 racing debut's this weekend.

I was hoping for a somewhat softer field in the Gr2 San Marcos Handicap for Union Jack. Facing Port Pirie's A Bus and Eureka's Flow Diagram in the opener is a very stern task indeed. However, UJ has to face those monsters eventually, so why not make it now? We expect him to acquit himself admirably.

Nova will run in the Gr2 Palos Verdes Handicap. We are looking for revenge against the 6yo mare from Goldolphin17, Victory Dance, who edged Nova by a head in the Breeders Cup Sprint last year.

Big Easy makes his Otsego Farms debut in the Gr2 Memsie Stakes. Our trainers say that BE is in fine condition and they expect a win in this race.

Obviously, we'd like a clean sweep in these three races. Given the quality of competition, that is probably unlikely. I do think that we will win at least two of these races though. I'll let you decide which ones those are.
