1997 Florida Derby [02:55]
Captain Bodgit stole the thunder from Pulpit yesterday, roaring down the stretch to capture the $500000 Florida Derby and throw the Kentucky Derby watch into an uproar. Pulpit, formerly undefeated and the 2-5 choice, ran well under Shane Sellers to finish second, but he was no match for Captain Bodgit, who authored a bold move around the far turn with Alex Solis, coming from sixth place to prevail by 2 1/2 lengths at 7-2. The time for the mile and an eighth was an ordinary 1:50 3/5, following fractions of :23 1/5, :47 3/5, 1:12 and 1:37 2/5, over a track officially labeled as "fast."
Breaking Brett in 45 minutes [02:48]
The only thing not shown is the 30 minutes of groundwork before I rode him for 15 minutes. Thankfully he was a good kid and didn't buck ever :) Not saying whether a horse should be started this fast or not, but this is the racing industry and we have 15 to do every day so you have to turn them out fast. Now he will get going in the newmarket harbour and a jockey pad and once he finishes his pre-training fitness he will go to the track!

WSH/ St. John 4/28/12 & 4/29/12 [02:56]
READ READ READ So I took Tora to his first gaming show of the year, and he did AMAZING. I went in not expecting him to do more than a trot/lope through with all his patterns, but i let him go his own pace and he did great. Obviously the first barrel run we messed up, and it was my fault for going to fast. & unfortunately my camera died after my 2nd event haha but he ran all new PRs. he is definately going to be going to more gaming shows this year. Also i ran at St. John on sunday with apachce, and if it wasnt for our knock in key we would have won high point. oh well, he ran really good for me and had the fastest time in barrels by over a second. no complaints for his first show off of an injury as well as his first actual hard running show of the year. I love my boys.
