Pedigree Query

I figured his racing days might be numbered. He lugged in and fought the jockey in his most recent race. And he had been off a year between 3-4-year-old seasons. We'll see!

My mare Spanish Guitar in Oklahoma delivered a bay colt on May 28. He's a son of Lucky Lionel, and is officially named Hot Hand . His yearling sister is Plucky, and his three-year-old gelded brother is Circus Train. His five-year-old half-bro by Eddington is Big Business, who races in New York, and ...

I'm not sure why BB fought the rider so much, lugged in most of the way. I hope he's okay. He made it look easy despite that.

Diane, I haven't seen him since he was a yearling, but he is built like his mother, and she's 16'1'. He has her scope and big hip, and her competitive nature. I have to give some of the credit to his sire Eddington, who had the much better racing career. It's too bad Eddington doesn't match with a l...

Wilf, as a New York breeder for this foal, I get 15% of the purse for a win. Now my horses are registered OK-breds, as I'm corralling my expenses on travel and boarding.

Big Business. son of Eddington o/o Spanish Guitar, won at $62,500 claiming, 7 furlongs, after a 100 day layoff. I guess he's well-rested, because he made it look easy. His earnings passed the $300,000 mark today. I own his dam and siblings.

I guess the long layoff since early January was just for R & R, because his workouts have been sporadic and short in the past month. He's entered at $62,500 claiming Saturday in a field of six: three are in for claiming, and three for open allowance. It's seven furlongs on the dirt, and he's pos...

The trainer says Circus Train has had one persistent problem: :? he's slow coming out of the gate. When he finally ran a good gate workout, he was entered to race this upcoming Tuesday; he was scheduled for another gate work today, to see if he's consistently :idea: learning. Today he worked three f...

Nice photos, too! Wow!

Circus Train had his first race at Will Rogers Downs yesterday, in a small field of relatively equivalent maidens special weight. Six of the seven were at 2/1 to 10/1 odds, and there was one long-shot only. Circus Train is a grand-looking large gelding with a lot of scope, and an easy temperament. U...

The trainer Clinton Stuart and I share ownership in Circus Train, and he's entered MSW at Will Rogers Downs on April 16th, Tuesday, race 8, six furlongs on the dirt. PP6/7, Garrett Steinberg up. Circus Train had the bullet work at 5f earlier this week, a full second faster than the other nineteen wo...

I have only one horse of racing age now, and the three-year-old gelding should be entering soon at Will Rogers Downs, Claremore, OK. His name is Circus Train, son of Lucky Lionel out of Spanish Guitar by Birdonthewire. He has a full sister yearling and a full sib foal due in May. These three foals a...

Oh, so true! I would not have been financially able to pursue this colt's best career hopes. A Florida pinhooker named Danzel Brandemuehl took over his expenses after he RNA'ed at the 2009 August Saratoga sale, since she believed in him and thought him a good 2yo sales prospect. He is really a cool ...

Dublino, no offense taken. This horse was purchased for $115,000 by his current owner, and it is always a difficult decision what class race to start in, since the only other options are claiming races for less than purchase price, or a less difficult track in MSW company. I don't claim to know what...

I also have a thread running on the Stable Watch Forum about this race. My home-bred is the beautiful chestnut, in PP5--Big Business.
