This weekend was pretty much a bust, with rain in California and snow on the East Coast. Many tracks canceled thus canceling stakes races. This hurts the California horses who now lose time to get ready for their next races. With that being said we still had some nice stakes races to talk about.
Whirlaway: Unfortanlly Eightyfiveinafifty blew a turn thus blowing his chances to win (his jockey was taken to the hospital, Eighty reportly only needed a few stitches. Hopefully he'll be back!). Pepi Knows won the race, I assume that the Gotham is next for him.
Gulfstream Turf: Take the Points crossed the line first, however was DQ'ed to fifth after cutting off Yate's Black Cat in the stretch. Thus pushing Court Vision to the win. Obviously it was disapointing to see TTP be taken down, but I personally think he deserved to be.
Donn: Quality Road won in a track record with a visually impressive proformance. However, I would like to say how proud I am of Dry Martini and Delightful Kiss! I somewhat hope their connections decide to point them to the Oaklawn Handicap as that race could come up on the light side.
Essex: No one was going to catch Racing Bran, but I'm very proud of Prom Shoes' 3rd place finish. I think 1 or 2 more jumps he would have caught Win Willy for second. The Razorback is going to be an interesting race, as I expect we'll see the 1-2-3 from this race go into the prep for the OakCap.
This is going to be a bit of an odd week as Road to the Roses is expected to start. Unfortanlly the site is not up yet, so hopefully in the upcoming days it will be. When that information is up, I'll set up a league for TC readers and we'll go from there.
