It's Truly Ahvee keeps the streak intact

Last place again. Well, it’s only a streak for him, since Awakino Cat and MarvelThisBliss were second in their debuts a few weeks back but it feels like our horses have turned into what Mary Beth has aptly named, Butt Inspectors… they get a good view of all the other horses’ rear ends!

Well, tomorrow we’ll see if Cricky’sGoldenEyes will look more like a racehorse in the 5th race at Aqueduct at 2:56PM. It’s 6 furlongs with Cornelio Velasquez in the saddle. Cornelio’s been doing well lately. So, we’ll hope for the best. The Morning Line has him at 5-1, so you can imagine the quality of this field!

Then, on Saturday night at Saratoga Harness our Pacer, MarvelThisBliss, will run from the rail in the number 1 spot. He’s 4-1 Morning Line in race #6 at 8:45PM.

Numismatic, our Trotter, will try and break out of his last place finishes at 10-1 on Sunday afternoon in Saratoga. At least, we’ll get some real odds for this attempt… of course, he’s got to win or come close for the odds to be of help to us!

Well, that’s a lot of action. Hope I don’t have to give you another butt report on Monday!

Have a nice weekend,

A.

Peter and the Starcatcher Opens on Broadway! Ahvee and the Starcatcher at Aqueduct!

Our Broadway opening was exciting and so were the reviews (see below).

It’s Truly Ahvee is in the 4th race tomorrow at the Big A. We’ll be there with Hanan’s great grandfather, Mary Beth, Harvey and Barbara. Rhoda’s favorite horse is 6-1 in the morning line with Ramon Dominguez aboard.

Cricky’sGoldenEyes will run 6 furlongs in Saturday’s 5th race with Cornelio Velasquez aboard. He wasn’t very good in his first race. We’ll hope for better.

The horses have begun populating the Oklahoma training track stables in Saratoga. Our Awakino Cat and Hear the Footsteps are there. It’s getting active and fun for us to watch through the internet.

All the best,

A.

Consistency

Numismatic did it again. Our trotter looked like he was coming on into the stretch when he broke stride, losing his gait and finishing last. That’s two in a row!

Tonight, MarvelThisBliss, our Pacer, runs in the 6th race at Saratoga Harness out of the 3 hole. He finished 2nd last time. Let’s hope he does at least as well.

It’s Truly Ahvee will run Thursday at Aqueduct in a $30K Maiden Claimer at 6 ½ furlongs with Ramon Dominguez up. He should be competitive. It’s the fourth race at 2:25. He’s in post #4. We plan on being there.

We also plan on being at the Broadway opening of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER tomorrow night. Very excited about it and about our partner Eva Price being chosen by Crain’s NY Business as one of NY’s 40 under 40. We’ve always called her the Queen of Broadway. I think that’s even better and more appropriate! Congrats, Eva. Look for the reviews. We will be doing that anxiously!

More to come soon.

Best,

A.
