Interesting last couple days with the BGR camp as we have gone through our first horse being claimed. Richwood Silver was dropped to the bottom at Philly Park to gain some confidence after two disappointing performances. Unfortunately she didn't perform how we expected yet again. Part of this business is running in races where other people can 'claim' or buy your horse. She was 'claimed' by Robert Reid for $5,000. We hope she gets back to her better form for her new connections and she is well taken care of. Thank you Richwood for running your rear end off almost every time for us.
Big Shake decided he wanted to be a racehorse today at Tampa Bay Downs. Being hung out wide the entire race, he stayed on strong to only be beaten by 2.75 lengths. Diego rode a great race considering the circumstances and it was great to see Big Shake put in a what will come back to be a very good performance, numbers-wise.
Cool Clue and Albin are pointing towards their next races within the coming week. Cool Clue will be pointed towards a nw2 6.5 furlong race and Albin is being entered in a route turf race.
Colonel Klink is ramping up for his April 9th Keeneland start. He will ship to Keeneland a couple days before that start.
Gondorf, Mizz Liza, and Rochelle Rochelle are all making their way back after some time off. Look for Rochelle Rochelle to be ready first (early April), Gondorf to be ready towards the middle of May, and Mizz Liza to be ready in June.
Graphite Halo and Appoint continue to prepare for spring campaigns. Graphite Halo will most likely not be ready until she ships to Philly Park. Both Philly and Delaware Park will be options for her. Appoint will have a prep race at Tampa Bay Downs before she readys for her Indiana campaign. Indiana Downs first condition book should be out relatively soon.
We have decided that Mr Mojo Risin and Prospect Knight will benefit greatly by being gelded. Both have been focusing a little more on the ladies and also becoming a little tough to handle while they become fitter. The Magic Bus continues to do well and Surfer Rosa continues to develop.
Bob's Bean is ready to burst with her Johar foal. She is currently still in Illinois. Top Royelle has been sent back to Kentucky to Arundel Farm with her Dehere filly. Both mare and filly are doing well. Top Royelle will be going back to Cactus Ridge this spring. Wundelia is getting ready to go to Yes Its True.
