Prince of Spades

Postby madelyn » Tue Mar 08, 2016 1:30 am

After a YEAR of struggling through EPM, a saucer fracture on a hind cannon, and dealing with insulin resistance which I believe that type of horse takes four times longer to build solid muscles fueled for racing, I finally got this fellow into racing shape. He got 3rd on Friday night at Turfway in the first race, and it was a really good race! It was only his fifth start and his first race was just in January this year. He's my last Rocking Trick foal here. This one has a bit of speed!

Naturally we were specialled and sent to the test barn. It's my third special this year. I think they like me!

I see the humor in how special I am. I have a gal pal out at High Pointe who also gets specialled a lot. We are natural foods trainers both and we say BRING IT.

This Friday night the 10th race at Turfway. I kicked the bug to the curb after the last ride where he HAULED on him at the 3/4 he broke stride and did not recover. I went with Perry Ouzts for experience over the weight allowance.

Ok so another third. But we beat Mike Maker's horse and 8 others in a full field a coupla days before the end of the meet with a new rider. It was a nice way for me to wrap up the meet. I bumped up a bit in class too.

Nice job, 3rd place not bad at all. Good for you, getting your homebreds to the track.

the Prince got his win check on Friday July 1st in the 2nd at Belterra. It was a hot 3-way stretch duel, a real nail-biter.

Along with him I've been training a little red horse with a long tale of adventures that I foaled out, had till 9 mos old, got back as a 2 year old it cost me $$$ for his papers. I named him Musica Con Brio. He got his first win in the 8th yesterday at Belterra. Two wins in a row for my two horse stable.
