Just two racers to compete...


Another quiet weekend in store for our stable. Trying to adequately rest our horses has left us with very few races the past couple weeks.

We had just one racer last weekend and we'll have two this weekend.

Big Slick makes his first race back from injury. He'll be running in an 8.5 furlong Allowance. Unfortunately, it looks like there will be 20 entries. He has faced fields of 20 and 19 in his two previous races. He looks sharp and ready to go. We like his chances at this distance.

Doomsday will also be running this weekend. He is entered in the 6 furlong Standish Handicap. Once again, the competition is much tougher than I would have expected in a Grade 3 race. I specifically moved Doomsday down in Grade this season so that he could compete favorably after an 11-0-2-2 season last year. However, he still seems to be running into top sprinters on a weekly basis. I am hoping that he can hit the board, although with the way he has been running lately, a win is not out of the question.
