Race Results for Weeks 3-4


We sent six horses to post this past weekend and the results were very satisfactory.

Affirm Gal, the 6yo dark chestnut filly, is back for a final season of racing. She finished last in her final race last season, leading to speculation that her career as a broodmare would begin immediately. However, our trainers said she still could compete in the underpopulated 4+ F&M races, so she began 2011 as part of our racing string.

A good decision, as illustrated by her nice victory in the 8.5F Joe Namath Handicap. Her margin of victory was a slim .02 seconds over Under The Weeping Moon's Enchanting Waltz.

The maturation process of Mister Fantastic has required patience. Only 6 races in his first two seasons on the track has left him fresh and eager as a 4yo. Going off at a long 14-1, Mister Fantastic shocked the pundits with a nice 2nd place finish in the 9 furlong Canadian Turf Handicap. New Moon On Monday, the 3yo colt from our friends at Bally Doyle was the winner.

Altamente Reactivo finished 5th in the Warwick Farm Spring Cup. He ran very well and would have undoubtedly hit the board but for running into heavy traffic late in the race.

True Ensign finished 2nd by an eyelash to Glenmore Park's Bali Formal in the 9 furlong Maxxam Gold Cup. It was discovered after the race that True Ensign had suffered an injury that obviously affected him down the stretch. He'll get 60 days off before his next contest.

Majestic Song ran very well but had a terrible race nonetheless. He was blocked late and pushed well back, effectively ending his chances. It is very apparent that he would have finished in the top three, had he a clean trip. He had to settle for a 5th in the 10.5 furlong Belmont Park Cup.

And lastly, Deadly Force, the 3yo sprinter by Dawn Patrol, reeled off a sparkling 111 PSR in finishing 3rd in the 5.5 furlong H.D.F.McNeil Stakes. We are very high on this fellow and anticipate a fine season from him.
