Here are the recaps for this weekend. Due to a lack of time, I'm not going to do the earnings for each race. But I will put the total in tomarrow's post.
First off the race that I didn't talk about the San Antonio was won by Magum.
Whirlaway (Aquaduct): I had Haynesfield, Peace Town and Mike From Queens. Well Haynesfield stamped himself as the early Wood favorite. It's really too early to tell how he'll do with more distance, although this was a huge step forward. Peace Town was a bit of a disapointment. Mike From Queens was third. Haynesfield is by Speightstown. Chart
Mineshaft (Fair Grounds): I had Honest Man, Grasshopper and My Pal Charlie. Honest Man was very impressive in his race and very pleased that he won. Grasshopper is just not the same horse who gave Street Sense a run for his money. Charlie just missed getting third. Honest Man is by Unbridled's Song. Chart
Silverbulletday (Fair Grounds): I had Just Jenda, Four Gifts and War Echo. I had the trifecta, just not in the right order, pooh! War Echo wins with Four Gifts second and Just Jenda third. It will be very interesting how these three do in the Fair Grounds Oaks. The winner is by Tapit. Chart
Risen Star (Fair Grounds): I had Friesian Fire, Giant Oak and It Happend Again. Friesian Fire stamped himself as the LA Derby favorite. Giant Oak ran into some traffic and finished fifth. It Happend Again was tenth. I can not wait for the Friesian Fire vs Patena round 2 in the LA Derby. FF is by AP Indy. Chart
Las Virgenes (Santa Anita): I had Saucey Evening, Stardom Bound and Pinkerella. I've got to say, Stardom overcame traffic trouble to win. She's heading to the Santa Anita Derby next, it will be very interesting if she does well there. If not and Patena does well in the LA Derby, she'll head to the Oaks (have the same owner). She's by Tapit. Chart
Robert B. Lewis (Santa Anita): I had Pioneerof the Nile, Brother Keith and I Want Revenge. Pioneer won and I Want Revenge finished third. Pioneer is by Empire Maker. Chart
Strub (Santa Anita): I had Dixie Chatter, Cowboy Cal and Gio Ponti. Cal is amazing as he wins the final leg of the Strub series. Dixie just missed out on hitting the board, and Gio was fifth. Cal is by Giant's Causeway Chart
Essex (Oaklawn): I had Prom Shoes, Solar Flare and Going Ballastic. I'm going to go a little bit of fan girlish right now. But YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fan girl moment over. But seriously, I fell in love with Shoes after seeing his picture on a forum 2 years ago as a three year old. I was somewhat of a fan of his big brother Wildcat Shoes. Right now he's tied for first for my favorite horse in training (with Kip Deville). And I was totally confident he would do well here. No comment on Solar Flare and Going Ballastic. Prom Shoes is by Include. Chart
