Weekend Recap

Welcome to the Weekend Recap! I have alot to talk about and have one Beyer ready to go, but I will give it to you tomorrow with the rest of them. Also for one week only, I'm using DRF charts instead of Equibase, because I was looking up beyers on DRF.com.

Gotham Stakes: I Want Revenge wins and boy was impressive. Imperial Council, who I had picked to win, rallied for second and Mr. Fantasy who I had to finished second, finished third. Masala who had finishing third, finished fourth So I had the right order, just not in the three spots I needed them to be in. I Want Revenge is by Stephen Got Even. Chart
Winnings: $0

Razorback Stakes: Let It Rock, who I had finishing third, won this very wild race. Prom Shoes and Jonesboro where a little bit dispointing, but hopefully the both of them will bounce back in their next race. I will say that Let It Rock, who is by Trippi won't have a chance in the Oaklawn Handicap, especially if Tiago comes in from California. Chart
Winnings: $4.40

Santa Anita Oaks: Wow! Stardom Bound was able to squeak by the second longest shot on the board, Third Dawn to win it. It looked like she was going to lose, but wow. I don't think she will be going to the SA Derby and just be ready to face Rachel Alexandra in the Oaks. Of course Stardom Bound is by Tapit. Miss Silver Brook was seventh, and Hooh Why was third. Chart
Winnings: $7.80

Kilroe Mile: I would like to say that I still don't like him, but yay for Gio Ponti! Because Mast Track scratched, I won't take the show payoff to be fair since I didn't name a replacement. Ventura got beat by a nose and very proud of Dixie Chatter for getting third. Gio Ponti is Bon Jovi Girl's big brother and is by Tale of the Cat. Chart
Winnings: $3.00

Santa Anita Handicap: Will the real Einstein bred in Brazil and by Spend a Buck please stand up. That was an awesome race by him. All he needs is a dirt G1 win and he'll join Lava Man as the only horses to win G1's on turf, dirt and synthetics. Court Vision and Cowboy Cal where major disappointments. My guess is that he might go back for the Hollywood Gold Cup and just stay on turf on the East Coast. But I would love to see him in a major east coast race. Chart
Winnings: $4.60

Total winnings for Weekend: $19.80

Overall, it was a hit and miss weekend. While I won't preview the Azeri that's today at Oaklawn, I really hope Maren's Meadow does well.

Beyers and Top 5 tomorrow. Also I'm sorry to say that Blue Exit was euthanized after the BigCap yesterday. :( I hope he is rememberd with great dignity.
