Races Galore!!

The horse racing industry is pretty amazing sometimes. What I mean by this is that you can go weeks without a runner and all you think about is a specific next race for a certain horse, and then when that race comes up, it doesn't fill, the weather stinks, etc.....Well, unfortuntely we have had some of that luck, but it looks like it is turning for the better. Three runners in the next three days at Churchill Downs will cure the 'No action blues'.

Rochelle Rochelle is running Thursday (11/5) at Churchill on the lawn going two turns for the first time. We are hoping that the stretchout will unlock some of the talent she has shown in the morning. Her breeding suggests she should take to it well.

Richwood Silver finally got some luck for Saturday's race as she drew the 3 hole. Breaking from the far outside post last time, she had a no chance trip and with a better post this time, and what is considered her best trip (two turn 1 mile on lawn), she should put in a really good performance. It is a class hike though but her speed can be deadly in a race like this.

Albin also runs on Breeders Cup Saturday in the last race. Originally spotted for a race at Hawthorne, he was scratched because of weather and while considering the Fairgrounds, Chuck felt that the distance at Churchill would be better for him. Lucky for us as the Fairgrounds didn't use his race, and we got a good post, should have good weather, and finally, the most important, a good performance. He has been knocking on the door at Arlington the whole summer and looks to be in a good spot here. His 9f race at Arlington was a very good race and we are hoping to get a nice stalking trip off of the horses that are going two turns for the first time and get first run.

Good luck to everyone this weekend in your wagers on the Breeders Cup, for anyone playing, some longshots to consider...
