War Machine prodigy to make papa proud?

The debut of our first 2yo takes place this weekend when Deep Magic (War Machine x Isca's Revenge) takes to the track in the 4.5F Debutant Stakes.

Otsego Farms owner Jim Webber shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's always a bittersweet event when when one of the youngsters has their first race.  Excitement and elation can quickly turn to disappointment and disillusionment if the horse flops."

"Deep Magic is a miler and shows the signs of early maturation, so we feel confident he can handle this short race.  I'm just a little uncomfortable with the size of the field, but hopefully he can have a clean trip and get out front early", Webber continued.

War Hammer, the highly-touted but underperforming 3yo colt by War Machine out of Shattered Record, will also get another look this weekend in a 7F affair on the grass.  It'll be his first attempt on turf and at a shorter length than his last outing as well.

The 3yo filly House of M (War Machine x Classical Music) will complete the War Machine tripleheader this weekend by competing in the GR1 Santa Anita Oaks.  With crossed fingers Webber predicted, "I think she's got a great chance to win that race.  The field is strong but small and M is primed for the victory."
