Its All About Chew 9 Days Of March [13:19]
"Now don't go fallin' in love with that horse." My take on that advice was always kept to myself, "I love them ALL. No use trying to explain, there's not a soul on earth that could comprehend or relate to my love for horses." Thirty eight years and thousands of horses later, It's All About Chew, the one that I refused to acknowledge or approve of even before her conception, became a direct part of my life. With my minds desire set on the younger filly, Stella, who's path in life will lead her opposite my direction, I coerced myself into focusing on "Choo" daily. It didn't take me long to realize that this never before handled, mean spirited, stand-offish, coming two year old filly by Royal Blew Chew Chew had a whole different side to her. During the five months I've spent with Choo she has not yet seized to astound me. Is she fast? I don't know, and she's not the prettiest horse I've ever seen... but she's by far the MOST expressive, fearless, patient, free spirited, and the smartest horse I've ever known! Her hateful, hostile disposition turned out to be kind, affectionate, and personable with an uninhibited nature that can spark everything from gut busting laughter, to jaw dropping awe that always leaves me craving more. Now the empty void, where Choo once dwelt, that I wake up to every day shows how naive I was and my new take on the "advice" that I have heard countless times throughout my life is not kept to myself and I believe it is used too loosely and not taken ...

Affirmed Success - 2002 Carter (G1) [02:31]
Eight-year-old Affirmed Success took a stalker's pose and the inside track against the expected strong pace Saturday afternoon, then took control for good in the lane as he held on for a one-length victory over late-running Voodoo in the 102nd running of the Grade 1, $350000 Carter Handicap for three-year-olds and up -- the undercard feature of Wood Memorial Day at Aqueduct. Owned by Albert Fried Jr., the gelded son of 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed broke sharp from the far outside in post 10 under jockey Richard Migliore, then angled to the rail to stalk Rusty Spur, favored Snow Ridge and Here's Zealous through fractions of :21 4/5; :43 2/5 and 1:08 before taking the lead for good and notching the 15th win of his 36-race career in 1:21 4/5. A $2 win ticket on Affirmed Success returned $11.40. "He's never looked better in his life," said winning trainer Richard Schosberg. "He's eight and he's always loved running. We wanted to be inside of Here's Zealous today because that horse got out a little when we ran against him at Laurel (General George, February 18th). Richie (Migliore) rode a great race; he moved at just the right time. This horse is just amazing."

Mark Valeski - 2012 Peter Pan (G2) [02:14]
After a pair of narrow defeats in Kentucky Derby prep races this spring at Fair Grounds Race Course, Mark Valeski earned his first graded stakes win Saturday afternoon at Belmont Park when he captured the 58th running of the Grade 2, $200000 Peter Pan Stakes, the local springboard to the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes on June 9. Caught wide out of the gate, Mark Valeski settled well off the rail in midpack as longshot Right to Vote swiftly guided the field through opening fractions of 22.71 and 45.35. Swung four wide turning for home, Mark Valeski was put to a drive through the stretch, wresting the lead away from the pacesetter just past the eighth pole and going on to a 1 ¼-length victory. A determined Right to Vote held sway over Street Life, who closed from last to get third. Mark Valeski's final time for 1 1/8 miles was 1:48.31. Sent off as the 6-5 favorite in the field of 10, he returned $4.70.
