  1. That debut by War Hammer really hurt.  He looked positively atrocious.  I knew he was a late bloomer so I have no one but myself to blame for throwing him out there.  He'll sit out the rest of the season and come back as a 3yo next year.
  2. Nebula looks like she may be the real deal.  She's got a record of 3-0-1-2 now and has shown a propensity to be near the front when she races. 
  3. Sabretooth looked very smart winning his race this weekend.  I shortened the distance to 8F but he certainly looked strong enough to go 9F, winning the race rather easily. 
  4. What is the deal with Hutton's Horse Haven?  The guy buys and sells horses like a stock market day-trader.  He's currently got four on the sales page that he has owned for less than a month.  I know, I know...leave people alone!  Let them manage their own stables!  Sorry.  It's bullshit though IMO.
  5. I see Sazerac has won two consecutive races.  I guess me and Golden Acres both should have been a little more patient. 
  6. I took a very close look at all of the Whisperwood offerings yesterday.  I happened to be in the right place at the right time because they were all up there in the BUY NOW section ready to be plucked.  I looked closely at race records and HRF stats and found none that interested me.  They all looked extremely speculative, but the price was right if you had the stall space.  I see several have been purchased, more than one by Olmo Dorato. 
  7. Speaking of Olmo, I saw that Scottie (Nightwing x Sea Siren) finished a strong 2nd at long odds.  It was a longer race at 7 furlongs (after poor performance in 3 sprints) and I'm sure that 71 stamina rating has nothing to do with the performance.  Right.  Those numbers mean nothing.  (wink, wink)
  8. Getting back to War Hammer, his HRF numbers are awful.  Slow starter, no speed, poor stamina.  I'm assuming it's because of his extreme immaturity.  It'll be interesting to see if his stamina number, which is currently 66, goes up when he matures.  Otherwise, it'll be tough to explain how that likes a lot of distance blurb came up on his AR.

Dont even start me on HHH sales activity! Buy race sell in less than 2 weeks doesnt equal a profitable stable. Check out his best performing horse THE FATES.....

Yeah, it's comical, isn't it?

The Fates has turned out to be a decent racer. I'd like to take him on with Sabretooth...
