Mountaineer Sunday Night

PSH · #1 04-15-2007, 05:39 PM

Just arrived here at Mountaineer from California.
Tonight is the night that Taconic Zip makes her debut in Race 6 a Maiden Claiming Race 15,000 for 3YO fillies. She draws the outside post number 9. This will be the first time (outside of Sumwon this past Wednesday) that i will be racing as an owner. Wish us luck. Hopefully she will be competitive. Would be surprised if she won but am hopeful we can get a placing and a decent check to start out.

Try to meet Peter Berry. Tell them you're from DerbyTrail and i'm sure he'll want to meet you.

Okay, i am heading over there.

Unreal...the early DD...using both ML favorites (they were both 5-2ML) returns $34.60 for $2...unheard of.

Chalk is ruling at the Mountain tonight, where are our double digit payoffs? And where is Mark and the rest of the crew? Guess it's just you and me tonight...

race 4

Six Gun Amy

God, what an awful card.

MinnSkinny · #17 04-15-2007, 08:10 PM

Race 4 looks like I have the wrong form, 7 CT shipers in a field of 8.

Paul, that was not a bad debut at all. It looked like she held on for fourth after showing some real interest. The TP shipper was fast and much the best.

She looks to have some real potential and I would guess that she will be visiting the winners circle in the not too distant future. speed gets it done at the mountain.

congrats, she looked good.

Ray thought she ran good. She was great in the saddling area before the race and looked great. She hesitated going in because Ray said the Assistant Starter did not know what he was doing. She broke okay and ran good. Like you said, nothing was going to get to the winner from Turfway Park. Ray said she ran a little green in the stretch and did not switch to her right lead until the 1/16 pole. She did tire at the end which was completely understandable. All in all not a bad effort. Would have liked to pick up that 3rd place check instead of fourth that nose was a little costly....
Would expect her to move forward off of that effort and i was pretty pleased overall.

I like Somebody New (#1) in the 8th. The weight break has to make him a decent play... Any thoughts on anyone to put under the #1 in the Ex or Tri??
