Shanghai Bobby - 2012 Three Chimneys Hopeful (G2) [01:43]
With the way Todd Pletcher's 2-year-olds have been performing this summer at Saratoga Race Course, it was only fitting for his charge Shanghai Bobby to close out the meet with a rousing victory over favored Fortify and six other juveniles in Monday's Grade 2, $300000 Three Chimneys Hopeful. "We felt like this summer the 2-year-olds were training very well, and we were coming in holding a strong hand," said Pletcher, who saddled 23 juvenile winners among his meet-leading 36 victories. "When some of them start to win and their workmates come up to run, you kind of get a good feel for it. We're not surprised, but we're happy." The victory, his third in as many starts, gave Shanghai Bobby an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita Park on November 3 as part of the "Win and You're In" series. Having broken his maiden at Aqueduct Racetrack on April 19, Shanghai Bobby also earned a $100000 juvenile bonus from The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) in addition to the winner's purse of $180000. The bonus, instituted this year, is awarded to any 2-year-old maiden winner at Aqueduct or Belmont Park who goes on to win a graded stakes at a NYRA track. "The purse is $300000, you get a $100000 [NYRA] bonus, and I still have shares in [Shanghai Bobby's sire] Harlan's Holiday," said Starlight Racing's Jack Wolf. "I said to my wife, 'This is a pretty big race.' It's nice that NYRA came up with the bonus. It seems to have helped the 2-year-old program." Ridden by ...

Really Bad Horse Fall [01:59]
So this thoroughbred is an x-race horse & hasn't been ridden in 2 years. I lunged her 1st & she was perfectly fine. So I hoped on & ended up with just a broken pelvis. I'm so lucky it wasn't worse!

Miss Choo [06:20]
This is a 2 year old filly by Royal Blew Chew Chew out of a Barrymore mare, Its Almost Midnight. Shortly after Choo was born, my mom suffered a broken leg that had to be surgically reconstructed. The recovery time resulted in Choo's deprivation of hands on human interaction. The little interaction she did encounter during those most impressionable months was usually unpleasant thus creating an aggressive disposition towards her human cohabitants on Earth! The series of videos shows the progress I've made with her since I got her in December.
