As promised, I have photos to share. These are the last three horses that we claimed. The first claim this season was Cut to the Front. Cut to the Front is a 4-year old California bred gelding out of Storming Fever. … Continue reading
December looks promising
As previously reported, we tried Quick Cielo in a race that was above his class to see how he would do. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to run his kind of race. Quick Cielo is a front runner and needs to … Continue reading

We were ready to rumble and I think our horses were ready too. We tried something new with our horse Elusive Moment and the horse reacted as expected, too bad the jockey didn’t. I almost never blame the jockey for … Continue reading
Ready to Rumble
We definitely are ready to rumble — but the big question is “Will it be Rumble or Stumble?” Horse Racing is a risky tricky business and we will soon see if we can keep the magic alive. We have two … Continue reading
100% IN THE MONEY
Well, we’re starting off on the right foot or at least I think so. Pursuxit ran and came in 3rd. There was a real speed horse in that race who figured to win and he sure did. We decided we … Continue reading
