Ashado's back on track

Got a horse in the races at Solvalla today. Ashado Boko is back on the track to get a race in her before the Derby trials next week. She was very good about a month ago and performed admirably in a couple of races before racing with a throat infection in the StoChampionat trials. Now she's been off for awhile recuperating and need some speedwork to peak her performance for the derby.

She'll most likely just ease along and maybe just being let loose on the homestretch. How she races is more importand than the win this time as we have loftier goals starting next week.

West Texas Futurity classic and derby's 2nd go's yesterday saw some serious cutting! The top 17 in the classic posted a 73 average and a 219 or better three judge score! And this is a Texas 73 mind you, not a European inflated one!


Tonight I'm pullin for Josh Townsend's Cattahoochee, SVR Reyl Smart and Wiley Cat in the Derby final, below. I think one of Clint Allens FIVE finalists might be to much though.



Classic finals Wednesday along with 3yo 1st go. I really like Matt Millers Stylish Scotti, will be tough to win though. Dont Look Twice should be the overall favorite, but there's a slew of really good horses here!
